Clinical Research Supports Efficacy
Clinical research highlights the efficacy of Q-actin in promoting joint health, flexibility, mobility, and overall function.
In a placebo-controlled study involving 91 participants, those who took either 20 mg or 100 mg of Q-actin daily showed significant improvements in joint function and pain reduction at every 30-day interval, as measured by standard indices like WOMAC, VAS, and LFI. Notably, the group taking 20 mg daily experienced a 32% improvement in WOMAC scores over six months, compared to just 5% in the placebo group.
In another six-month comparison study involving 122 subjects with moderate joint health issues, Q-actin outperformed glucosamine-chondroitin in relieving discomfort and enhancing mobility. This randomized, double-blind trial, conducted across three countries, found that individuals taking 20 mg of Q-actin daily experienced consistent and significant improvements at each monthly evaluation.
