Arthrite: Proven to Fight Pain Associated with Osteoarthritis



Breakthrough phyto-medicine clinically proven to
provide sustained pain-relief from Osteoarthritis
Results of a clinical study shows that Arthrite provides sustained pain relief to patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis.


A breakthrough phyto-medicine for Osteoarthritis (OA) further proved its efficacy with the first local clinical study that shows sustained pain-relief to individuals suffering from the joint disease that affects 11 million Filipinos.*

Arthrite, the first traditional herbal medicine approved by the Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for joint pain, consists of 14 herbal components that work synergistically to reduce pain caused by osteoarthritis. Apart from pain relief, Arthrite contains several active herbal ingredients which are responsible for reducing joint inflammation, pain management and improving joint mobility.

Getting proper relief from osteoarthritis is often a complicated issue because people in their golden years often also have to deal with other health complications.

“Osteoarthritis has been affecting millions of lives, limiting one’s ability to perform daily tasks, reducing the quality of life and even contributing to the development of depression among elderly patients. But we need not suffer all throughout our lives because there is an effective and safe medication that can provide relief from joint pain, Arthrite is the answer to osteoarthritis!” said Dr. Eduardo Rommel Poblete, Assistant Director and Fellowship Training Officer, Geriatric Center, St. Luke’s Medical Center-Quezon City.

To further prove the efficacy and safety of Arthrite in providing symptomatic relief to patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis, a local clinical study was conducted by Dr. Poblete. The clinical trial tested 60 patients, with ages ranging from 45 years old and up, who were clinically diagnosed with mild-moderate osteoarthritis. For the duration of 8 weeks, patients were prescribed to take 2 Arthrite capsules after breakfast and 2 capsules after dinner, for a total of 120 capsules for a period of 2 months. Patients were also prescribed to take 1 tablet in the morning of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) called Meloxicam as a rescue medication.

Transforming Lives: The Impact of SM Group's KSK Program on Filipino Farmers

  Farming futures Jayson and Juanito proudly showcase a selection of produce at the SM City Clark’s Weekend Market. While modern agricultural techniques boost yields for some, there remains a number of Filipino farmers who struggle to keep pace. These experienced hands find themselves falling behind in a market demanding higher production, clinging to familiar yet often inefficient methods passed down through generations. One farmer from Pampanga, Jayson Garcia, sought to disrupt this prevailing narrative in his family. He knew that he had to chart a new course forward for his farm and innovate to remain competitive within the rapidly evolving landscape of modern agriculture. “Noon, mahirap ang magtanim,” he recalled their life before joining SM Foundation’s Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan. “Para bang tsambahan, basta pag itinanim mo ‘yan, hintayin mo na lang mamunga. Mas mahirap pa lalo kapag nagkaroon ng kalamidad,” he added.  SM Foundation’s training program focused on high-value cr...
