HelloPharmacist Scorecard of MoveMD by 1MD Nutrition

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, ApresFLEX (frankincense extract), Zanthin (astaxanthin), Collagen, and Collagen Type II. Hyaluronic acid is a compound your body naturally makes that helps keep tissues moist and cushioned.

Frankincense is a plant resin traditionally used for joint and skin support. Astaxanthin is a pigment from algae and seafood with antioxidant properties.

The two collagen forms are proteins that make up connective tissue in your joints and skin. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients: vegetable cellulose, vegetable oil powder, and silica.

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: comprehensive joint support and mobility.
  • We looked for evidence on: Osteoarthritis, Back pain, Carpal tunnel syndrome, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Joint flexibility, Joint function — and 1 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 Osteoarthritis.

The evidence for most ingredients in MoveMD is limited. Hyaluronic acid is possibly effective for dry eye and venous leg ulcers, but for joint or skin aging the data aren't strong enough to rate it.

Frankincense, astaxanthin, and the collagen forms all show insufficient evidence — meaning there's not a solid body of research backing their use for the conditions this product targets. That doesn't mean they don't work; it means we need better studies to know.

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, astaxanthin, and frankincense are generally well tolerated in short-term use. Hyaluronic acid taken by mouth appears safe for most adults, though long-term data are sparse.

Astaxanthin in studies has caused mild side effects — abdominal discomfort, loose stools, or reddish stool color — and at higher doses stomach pain has been reported. Frankincense topically can cause skin irritation, dermatitis, or itching, and rarely allergic skin reactions.

The pregnancy and breastfeeding safety data for frankincense and astaxanthin advise against use — not enough information exists to know they're safe in those situations. Hyaluronic acid lacks specific pregnancy and breastfeeding information on file.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding before taking this product.

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 that are broken down by your liver's CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 enzymes — both Moderate-severity interactions with astaxanthin. This includes many statins, blood pressure drugs, immunosuppressants, and some cancer medications.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist to review your exact medications using the checker on this page.

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 is generally well tolerated short-term, but it contains astaxanthin, which may affect how your liver processes a large number of medications — potentially making them weaker. If you take any prescription drugs, run them through the checker below before starting this product, and discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist.

The evidence that it works for joint or skin health isn't strong yet. Avoid it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding unless your doctor says otherwise.

MoveMD by 1MD Nutrition: Common Questions

Does MoveMD by 1MD Nutrition interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, MoveMD has a known interaction with 671 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
MoveMD contains 5 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
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.
Can I take MoveMD if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advise against frankincense and astaxanthin during pregnancy and breastfeeding — not enough information exists to know they're safe. Hyaluronic acid doesn't have specific safety data on file for pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you in those situations.
What side effects might I have?
Astaxanthin can cause mild stomach discomfort, loose stools, or reddish stool color; at higher doses, stomach pain has been reported. Frankincense applied to skin may cause irritation, dermatitis, or itching, and rarely allergic skin reactions. Hyaluronic acid taken by mouth appears well tolerated overall, though long-term effects aren't fully studied.
Does this product actually work for joint or skin health?
The evidence isn't strong enough to rate it yet. Hyaluronic acid is possibly effective for dry eye and leg ulcers, but for aging skin or joint support the data are insufficient. Frankincense, astaxanthin, and collagen all lack solid evidence backing their use for these purposes.
Why do I need to check my medications with this product?
The astaxanthin in MoveMD may speed up how your liver breaks down certain drugs, potentially making them less effective. This could affect statins, blood pressure meds, immunosuppressants, cancer drugs, and many others. Your doctor or pharmacist can check your specific medications using the tool on this page.
What's the difference between the two collagen ingredients in this product?
The product contains both Collagen and Collagen Type II — two different forms of the structural protein. Collagen Type II is found mainly in cartilage. We couldn't check these ingredients for interactions, so their safety and interaction profile aren't on file here.
