Clinical Trial Summary

Knee related mobility limitations are the leading cause of disability in the western world. It is a very expensive and debilitating condition when the cost of lost productivity and personal assistance is considered.

In recent years there has been a growing interest in alternative medicine and many individuals seek such treatments. Rosehip, that is sold as a nutritional supplement, has been particular popular, and has been shown effective in relieiving pain - albeit the evidence is scarce.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of specialized rosehip powder nutritional additives (Rosenoids®) on knee joint function during walking in subjects with knee-related walking limitations.
