The CH Alpha Fortigel is a dietary supplement with hydrolyzed collagen in a drinkable form, Fortigel technology, from GELITA AG. The package contains 30 vials of 25ml, with 10g hydrolyzed collagen per vial.
It is aimed at adults who want to cover their intake of hydrolyzed collagen through a dietary supplement, as part of a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Cartilage is an elastic tissue that covers the articular surfaces, allowing smooth movement and shock absorption during daily activities. Its structure mainly consists of collagen type II and proteoglycans, components that are gradually renewed throughout life.
The hydrolyzed collagen is collagen that has been broken down into smaller peptides for easier absorption. The Fortigel technology refers to specific bioactive collagen peptides, which are the subject of ongoing scientific research regarding their role in cartilage and joints. Hydrolyzed collagen does not currently have an approved health claim by the EFSA, so it is presented here as an ingredient, without a specific claim of effect on cartilage, joints, or pain, regardless of the manufacturing technology or manufacturer.
It suits adults who want to cover their intake of hydrolyzed collagen, as part of a balanced diet. The product is not intended for the prevention, treatment, or cure of joint diseases, and does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment. Anyone experiencing joint pain or problems should consult a doctor.
Main ingredient per vial (25ml): 10g hydrolyzed collagen (Fortigel). The full list of ingredients is not listed on the current product page, we refer to the packaging for the full label.
There are collagen preparations on the market with different origins (bovine, fish, pork), different degrees of hydrolysis, and different quantities per dose. When choosing, it is worth knowing that hydrolyzed collagen does not currently have an approved health claim in the EU, so the choice is often based on other criteria, such as origin, taste, or previous experience.
Collagen is also available in powder form for mixing. The drinkable vial form offers a ready-to-use dose without measurement, which can make daily use easier for those who prefer the convenience of this form.
