Osteoarthritis is a group of diseases involved progressive denegation of joints, including articular cartilage and subchondral bone.
Avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (ASU)
supplement, in the searching for randomised, placebo-controlled,
double-blind trials of ASU, suggested that ASU improves the symptoms of
OA, with only real long-term trial yielded a largely negative result,
according to Dr. Ernst E.(1). The Frederiksberg Hospital in the study of
the same, with 664 OA patients with either hip (41.4%) or knee
(58.6%) suggested that the 3 months, beta-analysis data support better
chances of success in patients with knee OA than in those with hip
OA(2). Other study also found a significantly effective of the
supplement ASU in reduced the progression of joint space loss as
compared with placebo in the subgroup of patients with advanced joint
space narrowing, but require confirmation in a larger placebo-controlled
study in hip OA(3).
