Avocado/Soybean Unsaponifiables

Avo-what? If you haven’t heard of avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (a.k.a. ASU), you’re not alone.

New to the United States, the refined mixture of avocado and soybean oils has soothed the aching joints of osteoarthritis sufferers in France for nearly a decade. In 2002, the Cochrane Review, an independent health organization based in Oxford, England (think Consumer Reports for drugs), examined all herbal therapies for osteoarthritis and concluded that the most convincing evidence was behind ASU.

That same year, the American journal Arthritis and Rheumatism published one of the most compelling studies to date on ASU. Patients with mild forms of arthritis didn’t see much improvement, but among people with advanced cases of the disease, those swallowing ASU lost half as much cartilage as did those taking placebos. Dosage: Take 300 mg daily.

Side effects: Although no long-term studies are available, the French government has tracked ASU’s safety record for more than 15 years and has yet to correlate it with any significant complaints.
