Supplement Portfolio; Uniquely formulated with bioactive Bio-Curcumin
Curcugreen™*
FLORHAM PARK, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fidia, a world leader in the research, development, and manufacturing of
hyaluronic acid (HA)-based products, is introducing CartiJoint™ FORTE,
its first product in the dietary supplement category in the USA.
CartiJoint™ FORTE is a dietary supplement that supports joint health and
mobility with antioxidant activity in a daily dose.*1,2,3 It
is uniquely formulated with a bioactive* curcumin extract Bio-Curcumin
Curcugreen™ which is 100% natural turmeric along with glucosamine
hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate.
Bio-Curcumin Curcugreen™ is from a natural substance with antioxidant
activity*. It is a natural extract of Curcuma longa consisting of
curcumin, curcuminoids, and oils with high bioavailability compared with
standard curcumin and another formula containing curcumin in a pilot
study of human volunteers receiving equivalent doses.4
CartiJoint™ FORTE also contains glucosamine hydrochloride and
chondroitin sulfate. In the human joint, naturally occurring glucosamine
and chondroitin are important structural components that provide support
and promote joint mobility and flexibility. Chondroitin sulfate is also
an important structural component of cartilage.

Fidia Dietary Supplement Portfolio and reinforces our vision for Fidia’s
growth in the U.S.,” said Giorgio Masetti, president at Fidia Pharma USA
