HLA Joint Support
Progressive Professional from Progressive Laboratories
Overview
HLA Joint Support contains a blend of well-researched ingredients known for their joint health benefits. However, the efficacy is limited by potentially suboptimal dosages for some key components and the inclusion of an ingredient (Wokvel) with no scientific data available. While ingredients like Curcumin, Boswellic Acids, and Hyaluronic Acid have demonstrated efficacy individually, the overall impact of this specific combination and its proprietary blend elements is not fully established.
The Good
Contains well-researched ingredients for joint support (Curcumin, Boswellic Acids, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Collagen).
Boswellic Acids and Curcumin are present in amounts that may provide anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing effects.
Hyaluronic Acid contributes to joint lubrication and cushioning.
The Bad
No scientific data or identification available for the ingredient 'Wokvel,' raising concerns about its efficacy and safety.
Hydrolyzed Collagen is significantly underdosed (225mg per serving) compared to clinical studies (5-10g) for skin and joint benefits.
Overall product efficacy is reduced by the underdosing of a key structural ingredient (Collagen) and the unknown nature of 'Wokvel'.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking general joint health support, those with mild joint discomfort
Skip If: You have known allergies to common joint supplement ingredients, are pregnant or nursing, or are on medication without consulting a healthcare provider.
