    Movardol® (N-acetylglucosamine, Boswellia serrata, ginger) supplementation in the management of knee osteoarthritis: preliminary results from a 6-month registry study

    Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease caused by the deterioration of cartilage in joints, which results in activation of the inflammatory response, pain, and impaired movement. Complementary therapies, particularly supplementation, in the management of moderate/severe knee OA have been gaining attention. This registry study aimed at evaluating the synergistic effect of Movardol®, a supplementation containing active ingredients with recognized anti-inflammatory activities on symptoms and levels of circulating biomarkers of knee OA

    A novel phospholipid delivery system of curcumin (Meriva®) preserves muscular mass in healthy aging subjects

    Curcumin is known to interrupt pro-inflammatory signalling and increases anti-oxidant protection, thus inhibiting the expression of inflammatory cytokines and the expression and function of inducible inflammatory enzymes. Together, these effects contribute to limit the onset and the progression of sarcopenia, due to the major role played by inflammation in the pathophysiology of this disease. This registry study evaluates the effects of Meriva® supplementation in otherwise healthy elderly subjects

    Lack of effect of a single-dose of sulglicotide on the bioavailability of diclofenac.

    The bioavailability of diclofenac (D) was assessed in 12 healthy volunteers treated orally with single doses of 100 mg (retard formulation) and subsequently retreated with the same dose of (D) plus sulglicotide (S) 200 mg. (D) blood levels were measured by GLC in samples collected after 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 h. No relevant difference was seen in (D) bioavailability after (S) administration; after 8 h plasma levels of (D) were slightly higher after (S) (p less than 0.05), but this difference can be considered incidental only. Thus, sulglicotide does not interfere with the bioavailability of diclofenac, and can be administered concurrently with the latter to prevent possible gastric injury by the antiinflammatory drug
