Painful, stiff knees from osteoarthritis
Potential benefit studied: Short-term changes in knee pain and movement
Positive human evidenceA placebo-controlled trial found that turmeric extract reduced knee pain over 12 weeks and improved physical function scores.
A trial enrolled 70 adults with knee osteoarthritis and joint swelling. Participants received two capsules of a specific Curcuma longa extract or placebo daily for 12 weeks, with pain questionnaires and MRI assessments.
The study concerns a turmeric extract, not the finished Longevity formula. Longevity’s final 1,000 mg curcumin amount does not establish equivalent joint-pain relief: the extract, absorption profile and finished combination have not been matched to this trial.
