Avocado and soyabean oil unsaponifiables (ASU) is a mixture of plant extracts used primarily for the symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis and other degenerative joint disorders. Its proposed mechanism involves anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective effects. ASU is available in some countries as a dietary supplement and has seen use in Europe for osteoarthritis, but is not universally approved as a pharmaceutical medication.
No published pharmacokinetic studies identified in humans for ASU; parameter values below are estimated based on typical oral absorption and disposition for complex plant lipid mixtures in healthy adults.
