Management and Amelioration of Knee Joint Osteoarthritis in Adults Using a Novel High-Functional Bovine Collagen Peptide as a Nutritional Therapy: A Double-Blind, Prospective, Multicentric, Randomized, Active and Placebo Controlled, Five-Arm, Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability.

Objective: The various functionalities of collagen peptides have generated a large interest in utilizing the bioactive peptides as a nutritional therapy to ameliorate various physiological degenerative conditions. Collagen peptides are observed to reduce the pain and aligned difficulties with respect to osteoarthritis. Here we report the enhanced ameliorating property of novel high-functional "Wellnex" Type J collagen peptides following a double-blind randomized active and placebo-controlled 5-arm clinical trial ( = 100) by using it as a nutritional supplement in subjects with knee joint osteoarthritis in comparison with conventional bovine collagen peptides.
