symptoms
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease caused by degeneration of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone that most commonly affects spine, knees and hips.
The disease may initially manifest itself with articular pain and stiffness then evolving, into a reduced mobility together with loss of muscle tone and joint collagen
with severe and persistent pain that affects the work and normal daily activities.
In addition to a physiological aging of joint functionality,
main risk factors in the development of this phatology are represented
by overweight conditions and physical work or sport activities
subjecting joints to a high stress and overwork.
What CHONDROVITA is
The food supplement CHONDROVITA is the natural solution to treat the thinning of cartilage in osteoarthritic patients or to prevent it in healthy subjects.
Indeed, CHONDROVITA consists of 10g of hydrolyzed collagen peptides (CH) of animal origin with low molecular weight and high bioavailability. Several scientific studies have shown that prolonged intake of these peptides is effective in the reconstruction of articular cartilage and for pain relief.
CHONDROVITA represents
a natural, simple and convenient
solution to counteract
the articular dysfunction
Conventional treatment usually includes physiotherapy to reduce joint stress, weight loss and analgesics intake. If symptoms seriously interfere with patient's daily life, joint replacement surgery is required.
Insert
How it works
Scientific studies have shown that collagen hydrolyzate, such as that in CHONDROVITA, once ingested it is absorbed by the intestinal mucosa without structural alterations of peptides in the gastric barrier. Through the bloodstream these peptides are accumulated at the level of the articular cartilage mainly of shoulder, hip and knee, where they help to stimulate joint metabolism and the synthesis of collagen and proteoglycans.

Scientific rationale
Several experimental and preclinical trials, international clinical trials and medical reports have confirmed the positive effects achieved through the oral administration of collagen hydrolysate (CH) - with the same molecular properties as Chondrovita - in individuals suffering from degenerative articular disease.
Various clinical trials, for a total of more than 2,000 patients suffering from confirmed hip and knee osteoarthrosis, have drawn attention not only to a statistically significant relief of pain and to a reduction of analgesic consumption, but also to an improvement of articular mobility in all patients who had been administered 10 g of CH per day at least for three months.
Efficacy of the hydrolyzed collagen in articular cartilage phatology
Several experimental and preclinical trials, international clinical trials and medical reports have confirmed the positive effects achieved through the oral administration of collagen hydrolysate (CH) - with the same molecular properties as Chondrovita - in individuals suffering from degenerative articular disease.
Various clinical trials, for a total of more than 2,000 patients suffering from confirmed hip and knee osteoarthrosis, have drawn attention not only to a statistically significant relief of pain and to a reduction of analgesic consumption, but also to an improvement of articular mobility in all patients who had been administered 10 g of CH per day at least for three months.
imilar results have been found in a series of observational studies concerning both people suffering from degenerative articular pain and athletes overloading their joints and who has articular micro-traumatic injuries. Even in these cases, the oral administration of CH has led to a significant relief of pain and an improvement of articular mobility.
Lastly, in vitro studies carried out on both human and animal chondrocytes have shown a dose-dependent increase in the synthesis of type II collagen (up to 2.5 times) and of proteoglycans in cell cultures supplemented with CH with respect to those just containing basal medium.
Reduction of pain and lowering of analgesics intake after oral administration of Collagen Hydrolysate "What effect do gelatine preparations have?" Adam, M.
Basal medium enriched with Hydrolyzed Collagen stimulates collagen II biosynthesis in Bovine Chondrocytes Culture "Stimulation of type II collagen biosynthesis and secretion in bovine chondrocytes culture with degraded collagen\" Oasser, S et al."
All pre-clinical and clinical results emphasize the fundamental role of CH in the attenuation or in the arrest of the progressive degeneration of articular cartilage in patients suffering from osteoarthrosis and post-traumatic defects, guaranteeing biocompatibility, high safety and good tolerability at the same time, even in treatments extended for more than six months.

Pre-clinical studies
Preclinical studies indicate that CH stimulates the regeneration of cartilage tissues, increasing collagen and also minor components synthesis, (glycosaminoglycans, and hyaluronic acid). CHONDROVITA, has been shown to be absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and accumulate in the articular cartilage resulting in a statistically significant increase of the regeneration of articular collagen.
Clinical studies
Clinical studies show that a protracted oral intake of CH prevents not only joint pain, but also the loss of bone density and skin aging. Indeed Adams shows that patients suffering from degenerative osteoarthritis to the hip or knee joints and treated with CH, showed a reduction in pain from 81-85% accompanied by a reduction of more than 60% of analgesics intake if compared to the control group. Data have been confirmed in a further work of Moskowitz.

Active ingredient
"Gelita®
The active ingredient used in the preparation of CHONDROVITA is a hydrolyzed collagen peptide, Gelita® Peptiplus®, of very high purity, quality and maximum safety.
Peptiplus® is manufactured by Gelita®, the world leading multinational in the production of collagen gelatin. Gelita® produces several types of hydrolyzed gelatins with different features depending on the indication. These jellies are used indeed in the production of high quality materials for the most different markets, ranging from food to pharmaceutical industry.
Gelita® hydrolyzed collagen gelatin
The special gelatine of collagen hydrolysate Peptiplus® thanks to its peculiar physico-chemical features, including the excellent solubility and the low molecular weight (3.3 kDa) is used in the preparation of special food supplements also called "nutraceuticals" (something in between food and drugs) by the virtue of their ability to contribute to the maintenance and to the improvement of our wellness.
Peptiplus® promotes health and joint functionality.
Collagen hydrolyzate and physical activity: two key ingredients in the recipe of our wellness
The Gelita® hydrolyzed collagen gelatin is substantially a pure collagenic protein, with a minimum content of mineral salts. It does not contains fat, cholesterol or purine, additives such as preservatives, dyes or synthetic fragrances. For this reason it is also used in the preparation of dietetic products, which are easily digestible, low in calories, but with a high intake of basic proteins. The Gelita® hydrolyzed collagen gelatin indeed contains many essential amino acids for our body.
These amino acids are mostly the same as those of the articular cartilage, so the oral intake of Gelita® collagen hydrolysate associated with physical activity, may help in the prevention of arthritis or to give relief when present, improving joint mobility and reducing pain, as demonstrated in several scientific studies.
All information reported in the tables and in these pages refer to Gelita® sources of free access and consultation.
