Study Overview
Brief Summary
Osteoporosis, fractures, and other metabolic bone disorders represent a significant and growing public health concern, particularly among ageing populations and postmenopausal women. Current pharmacological treatments, while effective, often carry adverse effects or limitations in long-term use, highlighting the need for safer, well-tolerated alternatives. Dalbergia sissoo (Indian Rosewood) has been traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for managing musculoskeletal conditions such as joint pain, inflammation, and bone-related ailments. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that standardised extracts from Dalbergia sissoo, particularly its leaf and heartwood, possess osteogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, promoting fracture healing and preventing bone loss through osteoblast stimulation and improved bone microarchitecture.
OsteoCaf™ is a standardised extract derived from Dalbergia sissoo, formulated specifically to support bone health and aid in the management of conditions like osteoporosis and fracture recovery. While clinical safety data in humans remains limited. Establishing human safety through a clinical study is a critical first step before exploring efficacy in at-risk or diseased populations. This open-label, single-arm study is thus designed to evaluate the safety of OsteoCaf™ capsules in healthy adult volunteers, generating essential data to support its future clinical development as a safe botanical intervention for bone health.
