Ease the Knee with Gelita Fortigel®

HERSHEY, Pa.,—A study presented at the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., demonstrated Gelita Fortigel®, a special type of collagen hydrolysate created by Gelita AG, significantly improved the symptoms of stressed joints, especially the knee.

The study, carried out at PennStateUniversity, involved 147 students who suffered joint pain from sports activities, stress conditions, injury, post-surgical trauma, limited mobility and inflammation. The randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study consisted of daily administration of 10 g Fortigel or placebo over a 24-week period. In general, all joints in the Fortigel group showed a significant reduction in pain; however, 65 percent of participants receiving the active formulation, compared to the placebo group, benefited specifically in the knee.
