HelloPharmacist Scorecard of MoveMD by 1MD

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 5 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

MoveMD contains five active ingredients. Hyaluronic acid is a compound that helps skin and joints hold water.

Type X.I.V and Type II Chicken Collagen are structural proteins meant to support joint and connective tissue health. ApresFLEX is frankincense, a resin extract traditionally used in joint and skin care.

Zanthin natural Astaxanthin is a carotenoid antioxidant derived from algae. The capsule also contains four inactive ingredients: organic vegetable oil powder, silica, whey protein isolate, and vegetable cellulose capsule material.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: joint relief, mobility and flexibility.
  • We looked for evidence on: Osteoarthritis, Back pain, Carpal tunnel syndrome, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Exercise-induced muscle soreness, joint stiffness — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Frankincense is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Back pain (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Frankincense is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
  • Also on file: Hyaluronic Acid is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Osteoarthritis.

The evidence for MoveMD's ingredients is limited. Hyaluronic acid is possibly effective for dry eye and venous leg ulcers (slow-healing leg wounds), but there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate it for aging skin, hay fever, or sexual dysfunction.

For frankincense (ApresFLEX), astaxanthin, and the collagen types, the data we hold shows insufficient evidence to rate their effectiveness for any of the conditions they're promoted for — including acne, aging skin, back pain, cognitive decline, and athletic performance. That doesn't mean they don't work; it means the evidence isn't established in our current data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Hyaluronic Acid Frankincense Astaxanthin

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Hyaluronic acid and astaxanthin are generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety data are limited for both. Hyaluronic acid applied topically has rarely caused eczema, itching, and skin irritation; taken orally, eye drops containing it have rarely caused eye pain.

Astaxanthin may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, or red-colored stools — a small number of trial participants experienced these at standard doses, and higher doses (40 mg daily) have caused severe stomach pain in rare cases. Frankincense is also generally well tolerated topically and by inhalation, though dermatitis and itching occur occasionally, and rare allergic skin reactions have been reported.

We hold no safety data for the two collagen types. Because astaxanthin and frankincense have not been studied enough during pregnancy and breastfeeding, the safety data advise against their use in those periods.

There isn't enough data on file to advise about hyaluronic acid or collagen types during pregnancy or breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Astaxanthin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 672 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking MoveMD, check whether you take any medications processed by the liver enzymes CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 — astaxanthin may decrease their levels and reduce their effect. This includes many heart medications, blood pressure drugs, statins, and immunosuppressants.

Use the interaction checker below with your exact medication list and confirm with your doctor or pharmacist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

MoveMD may appeal to people looking to support joint and skin health, but the evidence backing most of its ingredients is weak or absent. The biggest concern is its astaxanthin content, which may slow how your body clears certain common medications — especially heart, blood pressure, and immunosuppressant drugs.

If you take any regular medications, check them against the interaction tool on this page, and confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before starting. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your healthcare provider first.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?

Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is hyaluronic acid, and does it work?
Hyaluronic acid is a compound your body naturally makes that helps skin, joints, and eyes retain water. It's possibly effective for dry eye and venous leg ulcers (slow-healing leg wounds), but there isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether it helps with aging skin or other conditions.
Can I take MoveMD if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant.
What side effects might I experience?
Astaxanthin may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, or red-colored stools — usually mild and uncommon at standard doses. Hyaluronic acid applied topically can rarely cause itching or skin irritation. Frankincense applied topically has occasionally caused dermatitis or itching. Allergic skin reactions to frankincense are rare but have occurred.
What is ApresFLEX?
ApresFLEX is a branded form of frankincense, a resin extract. It's generally well tolerated when applied to skin or inhaled, though there isn't enough evidence to rate its effectiveness for the conditions this product targets.
Does MoveMD have fillers or other inactive ingredients?
Yes. In addition to the five active ingredients, MoveMD contains organic vegetable oil powder, silica, whey protein isolate, and a vegetable cellulose capsule.
