Move Free

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

A dietary supplement aimed at supporting joint health.


Move Free is a brand of dietary supplements that are designed to support joint health and mobility. These supplements are commonly used by individuals seeking to maintain or improve their joint function, particularly as they age or if they experience joint discomfort. Move Free products are manufactured by Reckitt Benckiser, a global consumer goods company.

Composition[edit | edit source]

Move Free supplements typically contain a combination of ingredients that are believed to support joint health. The most common ingredients include:

  • Glucosamine: An amino sugar that is a natural component of cartilage. It is often used in supplements to support joint health and is thought to help maintain the integrity of cartilage.
  • Chondroitin: A complex carbohydrate that helps cartilage retain water. It is often used in conjunction with glucosamine in joint supplements.
  • Hyaluronic Acid: A substance that is naturally present in the human body, particularly in the eyes and joints. It is used in supplements to support joint lubrication and cushioning.
  • MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane): An organic sulfur compound that is used to support joint health and reduce inflammation.
  • Uniflex: A proprietary blend of ingredients that is claimed to support joint comfort.

Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]

The ingredients in Move Free supplements are believed to work together to support joint health through several mechanisms:

  • Cartilage Support: Glucosamine and chondroitin are thought to help maintain the structure and function of cartilage, which is the tissue that cushions joints.
  • Lubrication: Hyaluronic acid is believed to help lubricate joints, allowing for smoother movement and reducing friction.
  • Inflammation Reduction: MSM and other components may help reduce inflammation in the joints, which can alleviate discomfort and improve mobility.

Clinical Evidence[edit | edit source]

The effectiveness of Move Free supplements, like many dietary supplements, is a topic of ongoing research and debate. Some studies suggest that glucosamine and chondroitin may provide modest benefits for joint health, particularly in individuals with osteoarthritis. However, other studies have found limited or no significant effects.

Usage and Dosage[edit | edit source]

Move Free supplements are typically taken orally in the form of tablets or capsules. The recommended dosage varies depending on the specific product and formulation. It is important for users to follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.

Safety and Side Effects[edit | edit source]

Move Free supplements are generally considered safe for most individuals when taken as directed. However, some people may experience side effects such as gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, or allergic reactions. Individuals with shellfish allergies should be cautious, as glucosamine is often derived from shellfish.
