Ingredients

• Shallaki (Boswellia serrata): Studies report reductions in knee osteoarthritis pain and stiffness with improved function on WOMAC/Lequesne indices; AKBA-enriched extracts (e.g., Aflapin) show pronounced anti-inflammatory activity and support for synovial and cartilage health; standardized preparations have documented safety profiles.
  
• Guggul (Commiphora wightii): Described for anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic actions; reports with guggul-containing regimens note improvements in joint pain, inflammation, function, and mobility in osteoarthritis settings.
  
• Haritaki (Terminalia chebula): Literature highlights anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity with modulation of NO and pro-inflammatory cytokines; anti-arthritic effects are associated with hydrolysable tannins such as chebulagic and chebulinic acids.
  
• Argyreia speciosa: Experimental research notes analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties, with traditional use for musculoskeletal comfort.
  
• Ginger (Zingiber officinale): Research identifies phenolic/flavonoid constituents with antioxidant capacity, anti-LOX activity, and inflammation-modulating potential relevant to joint comfort.
  
• Amla (Phyllanthus emblica): Work exploring joint-health contexts reports anti-inflammatory, urate-modulating, and cartilage-supportive effects alongside cytokine regulation; nutrient profile includes vitamin C and key amino acids.
  
• Pipali (Piper longum): Reviews describe anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic properties; alkaloids (e.g., piperlongumine, piperine) have been linked to MAPK-pathway modulation.
  
• Black pepper / Piperine (Piper nigrum): Reported anti-inflammatory, immunomodulating, and bioenhancing properties, with supportive findings in rheumatologic contexts.
  
• Baheda (Terminalia bellirica): Triphala constituent described with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory actions.
