(“Wellbeing” or the “Company”) (NEO: MEDI) (OTC: KONEF) (FRA: SQ2), an evidence-based mental healthcare company focused on the development and implementation of innovative clinical solutions, including psychedelic medicine and digital therapeutics as supported by clinical research, announces that a clinical study conducted by its wholly owned subsidiary KGK Sciences Inc. (“KGK”), has shown positive results of its GJ 191 supplementation (“JointAlive®”) in treating osteoarthritis (OA).

Comparatively, only 38% of participants in the Placebo group reached the same threshold. “This clinically meaningful change has impact on this population of patients with self-reported knee pain,” says Dr. Mal Evans, Chief Scientific Officer at KGK Science. Chenland Nutritional’s CTO, Dr. Zimin Liu, added “JointAlive® is the first TCM based formulation which promotes joint health in as quickly as 7 days, improves joint flexibility and helps maintain healthy joints.
