What are Joint Gummies?
Joint Gummies are a novel, plant-based raspberry-flavored supplement containing a patented ingredient from heirloom cucumber varieties (Cucumis sativus), known as Q-actinTM. In 2021, this ingredient won an industry award in the Healthy Aging category (1). Joint Gummies support joint flexibility, function, and mobility.
How do Joint Gummies work?
The specific bioactive in the patented extract is a class of natural compounds called iminosugars. Clinical research has shown this extract offers healthy joint support and maintenance at a remarkably low dose (2) and with a potency greater than a much larger dose combination of chondroitin and glucosamine (3). Mechanistically, this extract functions by reducing cellular activity that promotes joint and cartilage breakdown.
The dose of Q-actin in Joint Gummies is the same dose demonstrating joint benefits in these referenced clinical trials.
Who can benefit from Joint Gummies?
Joint Gummies can benefit anyone who wants to improve their overall joint health, joint mobility, and joint maintenance. It may also help general joint-related pains associated with regular exercise. This vegan formula is gluten- and soy-free and recommended for adults ages 18 and up.

If I am pregnant or breastfeeding, can I use Joint Gummies?
