Limbrel contains flavocoxid that acts as an antioxidant inside the body and also inhibits the degenerative process of osteoarthritis.
Yes, it is a medicinal food product. I would not call it very dangerous but there are reports of elevations in liver enzymes. I would recommend regular follow up and reporting of any symptoms like jaundice, weight loss as soon as possible. You might be asked to stop the drug if there is any change in liver enzyme values. Usually the liver enzymes revert back to normal after stopping the drug.
I hope the above information helps you. Thanks.
