Is Longvida as effective as Meriva for symptoms of Osteoarthritis?
Original post in this thread

I have found a number of studies linking Meriva to improving symptoms of O.A., but the Longvida studies I've found seem to indicate that yes, it does lower certain inflammatory bio-markers, but little in the way of referring to O.A. directly.
Can anyone please shed some light on this?
Also, which products from nootropicsdepot would be best suited to someone with workplace induced O.A. ?
I can't use Perluxan Hops. It seems to make my debilitating tinnitus, or more so the surrounding temple pain connected to the tinnitus, worse.
Not much luck with PEA.
I am currently taking rosehips, agmatine sulphate, boswellia ( limited use due to increased tinnitus pain just like the P.Hops ), creatine, Perfect Sports protein powder, avocado soy unsaponifiables ( which is proven to be enhanced with alpha lipoic acid ), vitamins a b c d & k2, calcium, magnesium, nextCBD, fish oil, berberine, bromelain, and trace minerals.
Interestingly, cordycepin has been targeted by researchers as a potential novel compound in the fight against O.A.
Will the 10:1 extract powder be in stock soon?

I think Longvida and Meriva would be similar. They just choose different things to focus on in studies. Bioavailability studies are the main comparison, as once the curcuminoids reach the plasma, they should act in a fairly similar manner. The only exception to that would be Longvida and the brain, as it might need the lipid particle to reach the brain in enough amounts. Verdure seems to have focused on the brain with their research on Longvida.
The 10:1 cordyceps will be back in stock soon. We just rejected a batch because it did not meet our standards.
