After randomization, 100% dose of JOINTRUS® is taken per day for 3 months in 7 sub-healthy persons >18 years of age and knee joint pain with a 0-10 numerical rating scale (NRS) pain score ≤ 4. This study included a 7-day baseline screening period (Visit 1) and was followed by randomization (Visit 2), a 12-week ingestion period with clinic visits at week 4 (Visit 3), 8 (Visit 4), and 12 (Visit 5) after starting ingestion, and a 4-week post-ingestion safety follow-up. The pain intensity, functional disability state and change in the general status were assessed for a 12-week ingestion period.
