Education Series—Evidence-based Nutraceuticals for Joint Health

INSIDER Education Series

We've come a long way since glucosamine and chondroitin. There are now a variety of evidence-based nutraceutical choices available to promote healthy joint function and joint comfort. In this Webinar we will examine the various mechanisms of action for these nutraceuticals, as well as human clinical research substantiating their efficacy. Consideration will also be given to the value of using nutraceutical combinations for joint health. This discussion will include appropriate structure/function language for communicating legal benefits to consumers.
