Dr. Kim Vanderlinden, founder and CEO of Hope Science, focuses on providing science-based health products for joint health immune support.
Doctors are confused, patients are confused, the majority of us are confused when it comes to joint health. WhyAlmost everything we read about glucosamine is, in fact, marketing material with a whole lot of spin added and very little actual science. It has been nearly 2 decades since then and the good news is that there are several other natural options we have to offer patients.
The fatty acid complex, Esterified, also known as EFAC, received a U.S. patent in late 2009. These new "super oils" have outstanding peer-reviewed research supporting their use for joint health. As an added bonus, these oils are very unique in that they are well absorbed through the skin and, as such, have truly raised the bar for topicals.
Hope Science EFAC clinical trial results using both the capsules and the pain cream have been published in top medical journals such as The Journal of Rheumatology.
Far More Effective & Much Faster Acting than Glucosamine
Compared with placebo, glucosamine, chondroitin, and their combination do not reduce joint pain or have an impact on narrowing of joint space.
For example, in one of the world's most esteemed medical journals, The British Medical Journal, the researchers reported that an analysis of 10 well conducted trials with 3803 patients showed that glucosamine and/or chondroitin provided no benefit compared to placebo.
