An Open Randomized Prospective Study of the Supporting Properties of the Dietary Supplement ARTNEO in Comparison With Active Control in Parallel Groups in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis Aged 40 to 75 Years

ArtNeo-terra

The goal of the interventional study is to assess the effectiveness of the supporting properties and safety of the dietary supplement ARTNEO (ARTNEO®), capsules with an average weight of 585 mg, in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee joint of both sexes aged 40 to 75 years. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To evaluate the effectiveness of the supporting properties of dietary supplement ARTNEO (ARTNEO®) in patients with knee osteoarthritis in comparison with active control; 2. To evaluate the safety of the dietary supplement ARTNEO (ARTNEO®) in patients with knee osteoarthritis
