FLORHAM PARK, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fidia, a world leader in the research, development, and manufacturing of

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
