Research Findings
at a Glance

Findings by year, and the journals that published them.

2010 Analgesic

Pain Relief and Anti-Inflammatory Effect

In an osteoarthritis animal model, the honeysuckle and Anemarrhena complex (WIN-34B) reduced pain and inflammation.

Journal of Ethnopharmacology
2011 Gastric Safety

Gastric Safety Demonstrated

Unlike synthetic NSAIDs, it was shown to be safe for long-term feeding without damaging the gastric lining.

Journal of Ethnopharmacology
2012 Cartilage Protection

Mechanism of Cartilage Protection

It suppresses cartilage-degrading enzymes (MMPs) and inflammatory mediators, limiting cartilage damage.

BMC Complementary Medicine and others
2013 Regeneration

Cartilage Protection and Regeneration

In an osteoarthritis animal model it protected cartilage tissue and promoted differentiation of cartilage progenitor cells.

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine
2014 Marker Compound

Action of the Key Marker Compound

The pathway by which the marker compound mangiferin supports cartilage differentiation of stem cells was mapped at molecular level.

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
2014 Bone Density

Recovery of Bone Mineral Density

The Astragalus, cassia twig and Phellodendron complex (BHH10) restored bone density and bone mass in an osteoporosis animal model, improving bone structure over an existing treatment without toxicity.

Phytotherapy Research
2016 Bone Formation

Promotion of Bone Formation

A dual action was confirmed: supporting the cells that build bone while suppressing the cells that break it down.

Journal of Ethnopharmacology
2016 Clinical Stage

Phase II Trial Protocol Registered

A multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II trial protocol for BHH10 was published in an international journal. (KCT0001842)

FAQ · Clinical & Research
When do the effects show?+

It varies by animal, but many owners report a change in movement from around four to eight weeks of consistent feeding. Joint health builds up over time, so we recommend feeding continuously for at least three months.

From what age can it be fed?+

From six months of age. It is especially worth starting early for dogs that hesitate on stairs, very active dogs, and dogs entering their senior years.

How many pieces a day?+

One piece a day under 5 kg, two pieces for 5 to 15 kg, and three pieces over 15 kg. Feeding a little more is not harmful, but the recommended amount is best.

How was the clinical study run?+

Dogs with patellar luxation were fed for four weeks with pain-index assessment, X-ray, haematological analysis and muscle-mass measurement. Pain index fell by 52% and muscle mass rose by 10%.

Where can I read the papers?+

Eight papers on the raw-material complexes (WIN-34B · BHH10) have been published in international journals including the Journal of Ethnopharmacology. Search academic databases under the complex names.

Is long-term feeding safe?+

A gastric safety study found markedly less gastric damage than conventional anti-inflammatory drugs, and non-toxicity has been reported. As a botanical material it carries little long-term feeding burden.
