A proposed class action filed in California alleges defendant Rexall Sundown, Inc.’s “Osteo Bi-Flex” brand of glucosamine products, contrary to how they’re marketed, labeled and advertised, provide no health benefits that support joint health. The 29-page lawsuit argues Rexall Sundown’s representations of its product are designed to induce consumers, namely the elderly, into believing Osteo Bi-Flex can provide “meaningful joint benefits” even though the products “are worthless.”

The case mentions the following products:

• Osteo Bi-Flex One Per Day
• Osteo Bi-Flex Triple Strength
• Osteo Bi-Flex Triple Strength MSM
• Osteon Bi-Flex Triple Strength with Vitamin D

Despite claims that Osteo Bi-Flex can improve range of motion and joint comfort while strengthening joints overall, the lawsuit, citing reputable scientific reviews and meta-analyses, argues Rexall Sundown deceived consumers even though the company possessed specialized knowledge of the content and purported effects of its products.
