Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Any gender and age from 50 to 70 years
- Symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee with mild joint discomfort for at least 6 months prior to enrollment, following ACR criteria with history and physical examination (1).

Exclusion
- Subjects who have any inflammatory arthritic condition (different from the OA of the knee), fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis or autoimmune disorder.
- Treatment with oral corticosteroids within 4 weeks before screening.
- Intra-articular injections of HA or corticosteroids in the target joint within 3 months before screening.
- Treatment with anti-inflammatory or chondroprotective drugs (chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine, methylsulfonylmethane, HA, diacerein) 2 weeks before the selection.
- HA-containing nutritional supplements or cosmetics during the month before the study.
- Previous surgical treatment of knee joint(s) or its necessity; complication(s) necessary for hospitalization and surgical treatment.
- Significant injury to the target joint within the past 6 months prior to screening (identified from medical history).

- Pregnant women, nursing mothers, or women (only if childbearing potential) not using adequate methods of contraception.
