Overview

Cucumber extract has shown promise in relieving symptoms of knee osteoarthritis, specifically in reducing pain and improving joint function through its anti-inflammatory properties. The clinical evidence supports a daily dose of 20mg which is significantly less than the 500mg per serving of this product. The effectiveness of this supplement for benefits outside of knee pain is not well supported. It remains uncertain how well its effects will translate to those without osteoarthritis.

The Good

Potential to reduce inflammation and pain associated with knee osteoarthritis

May improve joint function

Free of common allergens like sugar, soy, dairy, yeast and gluten

The Bad

Insufficient evidence for benefits beyond knee osteoarthritis

Lack of long-term safety data

Dosage in product is significantly higher than studied amount (500mg versus 20mg)

Is it for you?

Best For: Individuals seeking natural hydration, skin health support, and antioxidant benefits; those looking for a plant-based supplement.
