A class action lawsuit alleging that Joint Juice doesn’t really lubricate joints as advertised has been removed to federal court.
Plaintiff Patricia Bland says she purchased 6-packs of 8-ounce ready-to-drink bottles of Joint Juice multiple times between 2015 and January 2018.
She claims that Joint Juice is advertised as a line of joint health dietary supplements that will support and nourish cartilage, lubricating joints, and improve joint comfort.
However, Bland argues that these claims are false because the product’s main ingredient does not promote joint health.
The Joint Juice class action lawsuit states that Bland and other consumers were misled into believing that the product would help their joint health, because they relied on the product’s packaging to make their purchasing decision.
The plaintiff notes that there is no other reason why customers buy Joint Juice other than to improve their joint health, so the fact that the product does not improve joint health causes financial injury to customers who purchase the product.
According to the Joint Juice class action lawsuit, Joint Juice marketing materials state in numerous locations that the product “helps keep cartilage lubricated and flexible,” and that customers should “drink daily for healthy, flexible joints.”
The Joint Juice class action lawsuit says that the product contains the active ingredients chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride, which is a combination of glucosamine (an amino sugar compound produced by the body and which can be isolated from shellfish).
Allegedly, Joint Juice’s makers claim that these are the ingredients that will improve joint health. However, Bland says that glucosamine is not effective in providing joint health benefits, whether used alone or in combination with other ingredients including chondroitin sulfate.
To support this claim, Bland says that research conducted by the National Institute of Health has indicated that glucosamine is not effective at “producing joint health benefits, including pain, stiffness, range of motion, flexibility, and cartilage benefits.”
The Joint Juice class action lawsuit states that the product is primarily marketed towards people with osteoarthritis, especially those in the early stages or those who have yet to be formally diagnosed and wish to take steps to improve their health.
Bland argues that Premier Nutrition Corporation, the company that makes Joint Juice, relies on customers’ desire to improve joint health in order to sell their product.
The Joint Juice class action claims that Premier Nutrition Corporation knew or should have known that scientific research indicates that the main ingredient in their product is not effective, but markets and sells the products as if they are effective in an effort to maximize their profits.
Bland is represented by Timothy G. Blood, Leslie E. Hurst, Thomas J. O’Reardon II, and Paula R. Brown of Blood Hurst & O’Reardon LLP; by Craig M. Peters of Altair Law; and by Todd D. Carpenter of Carlson Lynch Sweet Kilpela & Carpenter LLP.
The Joint Juice False Advertising Class Action Lawsuit is Patricia Bland v. Premier Nutrition Corporation, Case No. 3:19-cv-00875, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

I’m a Pharmacy Technician and started taking joint juice 4 years ago it’s not a magic drink but it helped my joints from working alot just some people think it’s a scam but don’t judge every med works differently take your law suit and leave everyone else to judge for themselves
I bought cases of joint juice (30 bottles)from Sam’s all the time. Drank one or 2 every day. Drank it for years and then I couldn’t find it anymore. I loved that stuff and really believed it would help my joints. Very disappointed!!
This woman’s greed really makes me mad. Joint Juice worked excellent on my joint pain. Now what? Can’t buy it anymore. Hope she gets what she deserves for destruction of a great business and harming all the people that relied on their product.
I started taking Joint Juice around 2012. When I would go up the stairs, my knees would *snap* *crackle* *pop* and would ache. My ex mother-in-law suggested GC supplements, but they didn’t help. Heard an ad for Joint Juice and tried it. After a couple of weeks, noticed pain and noises were gone. When money got tight, went back to GC supplements, but pain and sounds returned. When I was able to afford JJ again, problem solved after a short time. I suspect the issue is the body’s ability to absorb more efficiently in liquid form than solid “pills”. Bottom line is: not every solution works for everybody. Joint Juice worked for me. Thanks to the whiners and money-hungry lawyers, I have to find another solution as I can’t find JJ anymore. Maybe if I try grinding up GC supplements into water…we’ll see….
I drank Joint Juice for 20+ years, before I started drinking it, I could feel bone grating against bone. I always bought several cases at a time, until I could no longer find it in 2022. So, I started taking the pill, the pill form is not as good as the liquid Joint Juice. Wish I could still find it for a reasonable price. Just because someone ones to get rich for doing nothing, I have my aches back. It was not advertised as a pain medication, it was to lubricate your joints, which it did, if you drank it every day. Anyone know where I can buy the bottles of 30 in a case for less than $20, I would appreciate info. Thank you. Dianne Kinnett
I HAVE BEEN TAKING THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME WITH HOPE IT WAS WAS DOING WHAT THEY SAID IT WOULD DO. IT DID SEEM TO HELP BUT IF IT WAS ALL A FAIRLY TALE STORY…THEN I GOT CAUGHT UP IN IT. NOW IT SO EXPENSIVE I CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE IT. SO, I MAY SEE IF IT REALLY WAS HELPING.
I have taken joint juice for the last 10 years. Two of my doctors advised me to take it. I have drank it religiously everyday for 10 years. It has appeared to help me. I was told I needed both of my knees replaced. My knees are doing fine. Not perfect but they don’t hurt me like they did before I started drinking joint juice.
Been taking Joint Juice for over 6 years…please add me.
