Key Advantages Include
Scientific Validation for Credibility
The efficacy of FORTIGEL® is backed by extensive research, ensuring B2B companies can utilize credible data in their marketing efforts:
- Reduced Activity Related Joint Discomfort (Zdzieblik et al 2021): This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involved 180 active women and men at the age of 18 to 30. The participants were experiencing activity related join pain. Over 12 weeks, participants were given either FORTIGEL®® or a placebo. The FORTIGEL®® group experienced significantly lower activity related pain compared to the placebo group. This study underscored FORTIGEL®®’s role in effectively managing joint discomfort and improving mobility among active individuals.
- Cartilage Regeneration (McAlindon et al 2011): Conducted at Tufts Medical Center in conjunction with Harvard University, this study explored the long-term effects of FORTIGEL® on individuals with early knee osteoarthritis. Thirty subjects were split into two groups; one received 10 grams of FORTIGEL® daily for 48 weeks, while the other received a placebo. Magnetic resonance imaging (dGEMRIC) was utilized to visualize changes in cartilage structure. Results showed a statistically significant increase in proteoglycan density in the cartilage of participants who received FORTIGEL®, confirming its positive impact on cartilage health and regeneration over time.
- Reduced Functional Joint Discomfort (Schulze et al 2024): This monocentric, placebo-controlled, randomized trial assessed the effects of FORTIGEL® on adults averaging 50 years of age, feeling knee and hip joint pain during regular daily activity. The 154 subjects involved were administered either 5 grams of FORTIGEL® or a placebo over 12 weeks. Results showed a statistically significant reduction in functional knee and hip joint pain during normal daily activity. Physicians involved in the study noticed significant reduction in pain at rest and pain during activity.
