Move Free Ultra Ingredients
Type II Collagen 40mg – Type ii collagen has been shown to be particularly good at improving joint health..... in dogs. [1] The human trials haven't looked nearly as effective. That's not to say that type ii collagen doesn't do anything, it does seem to have a mild impact on helping the body maintain cartilage and bone health, but it's substantially less effective than it has been in animals.
Move free ultra triple action joint support should have some benefits as a result, but it is relatively low efficacy when compared to omega oils, curcumin, msm, same, gingerols, bromelain and a host of other ingredients. It is the smallest of these that's shown to have any impact at all at 40mg, (although this is at the bottom end of it's effective dose). So the real question is who is move free ultra for. And we suppose if for some reason you can't possibly swallow a pill larger than 50mg, then it could be for you. But, that's the only possible reason we could see to go with Move Free Ultra.
Boron 5mg – This one is actually fine, boron does have a whole host of health benefits beyond joint health, but as far back as 1963 supplementing boron has shown positive results. Although we should mention the low end of this tends to be 6mg. [2] It's been demonstrated to improve osteoarthritis patients pain levels compared to 10% who improved under a placebo. And the mechanism that boron plays in bone health and joint lubrication with deficiencies substantial increasing the risk of damage. So whilst this is a good inclusion in move free ultra it's nothing substantial to justify the price point.
Hyaluronic Acid 3.3mg - Whilst hyaluronic acid has been shown to be effective at reducing joint pain when injected directly into the site, it unfortunately isn't particularly effective when taken orally as most gets broken down in the stomach. Move Free Ultra Triple Action is a somewhat dated formula as a result. But, as we already mentioned the few initial studies which did suggest it could be an effective ingredient for promoting healthy joint fluid dosed it at more than 70 times higher. [3] This tiny amount isn't going to achieve anything even if the ingredient does somehow turn out to be effective for treating joint pain.
Sodium 1mg - This is 1% of your daily requirements, it's going to do pretty much nothing for your joints. For context 1mg is slightly smaller than one grain of salt, which contains more sodium.
