HT008

HT008 is a standardized botanical extract developed by Neumed for the improvement of joint health and the management of osteoarthritis symptoms. It is a complex mixture derived from three medicinal herbs: *Eleutherococcus senticosus* (Siberian ginseng), *Achyranthes bidentata*, and *Phlomis umbrosa*. The extract exerts its therapeutic effects through multiple anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective pathways. Specifically, it inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and cytokines including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Furthermore, HT008 helps preserve joint integrity by suppressing the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), such as MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-13, which are responsible for the degradation of the articular cartilage extracellular matrix. In South Korea, HT008 has been recognized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) as a functional ingredient for joint health.
