Edited Osteoarthritis and Avocado and Soybean Extract: How to Use Avocado and Soybean Extract 14 years ago

Edited Osteoarthritis and Avocado and Soybean Extract: Effect of Avocado and Soybean Extract on Osteoarthritis 14 years ago

Special extracts of avocado and soybeans called avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (ASUs) have been investigated as a treatment for osteoarthritis with very promising results in studies enrolling a total of several hundred people.85-92,125

For example, in a double-blind trial, 260 individuals with arthritis of the knee were given either placebo or ASU at 300 or 600 mg daily.93 The results over 3 months showed that use of ASU significantly improved arthritis symptoms as compared to placebo. There was no significant difference seen between the two doses tested.

Thus far, however, it does not appear that ASU can slow the progression of osteoarthritis.126
