Arthrovid Tendoforte® is a dietary supplement designed to support the health and trophism of tendon structures and ligaments. The product is enriched with Collagen and Vitamin C, where Vitamin C contributes to the normal formation of collagen for the physiological function of bones and cartilage. Additionally, it features CurQFen®, an innovative ingredient containing fenugreek and turmeric extracts.

Tendons play a crucial role in strength, energy, and speed, and maintaining their strength and flexibility is essential for proper movement and efficient muscle contraction. Injuries and inflammations in tendon tissues are common in sports, often resulting from excessive stress, prolonged activity, or factors like previous injuries, age-related collagen degeneration, and joint flexibility issues.

Arthrovid addresses this need by combining highly specific collagen peptides TENDOFORTE® with the anti-inflammatory action of CurQfen®. TENDOFORTE® is a unique collagen hydrolysate with bioactive peptide fragments that activate tendon structure cells, promoting natural renewal and biosynthesis capacity. It has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries and accelerating recovery.

CurQfen® contributes to the anti-inflammatory activity. It is a 100% natural, bioavailable curcuminoid formulation that doesn’t contain emulsifiers or synthetic additives. Using innovative ultrasound technology (FenuMAT™ Technology), CurQfen® creates “Curcumagalactomannosides,” ensuring optimal hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance for curcumin dispersion in intestinal fluids.

Arthrovid is developed in collaboration with the research laboratory H2MAX in Rome, led by Dr. Massimiliano Febbi, and the research and development department of Yamamoto Research. The synergistic combination of TENDOFORTE® and CurQfen® aims to support tendon repair, strengthen the extracellular matrix, and alleviate inflammatory conditions in tendinopathies.
