Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Exercise-Induced Knee Joint Discomfort

    Joint discomfort will be assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to quantify knee pain intensity associated with physical activity. The primary endpoint is the change in knee joint discomfort from baseline, comparing Collavant® n2 versus placebo. VAS scores will be collected under standardized conditions after the running test, to capture exercise-induced discomfort.

    Baseline (week 0) to week 24

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Change in joint pain intensity after physical activity

    Baseline (week 0) to week 12

  • Change in joint pain intensity before physical activity

    Baseline (week 0) to week 12, baseline (week 0) to week 24

  • Time to recovery of knee pain after exercise

    Baseline (week 0) to week 12, baseline (week 0) to week 24

  • Change in physical performance during the running test

    Baseline (week 0) to week 12, baseline (week 0) to week 24

  • Change in perceived exertion during physical activity

    Baseline (week 0) to week 12, baseline (week 0) to week 24

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (8)

  • Change in clinical knee examination

    Baseline (week 0) to week 12, baseline (week 0) to week 24

  • Incidence of Adverse Events

    Baseline (week 0) to week 24

  • Changes in Vital Signs

Eligibility Criteria

Sexmale(Gender-based eligibility)
Gender Eligibility DetailsMale gender
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Healthy physically active male adults (amateur runners) with exercise-induced joint discomfort, aged between 40 and 65 years
  • Activity level: Amateur runners who train regularly a minimum of 150 minutes per week, divided into 2 or more sessions per week during at least 3 months. Principally, subjects training for popular running events of 10 Kms.
  • Joint discomfort after activity: Self-reports target knee discomfort after training by a score of at least 20 mm VAS at screening. Discomfort persistent for at least 2w.
  • Be willing to refrain from starting any new dietary supplements during the entire study that have any underlying joint benefits (collagen, glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, Hyaluronic Acid, Turmeric, Natural Eggshell Membrane, Omega-3 fatty acids, PEA, Boswellia,..). If any of these supplements (except collagen) or any other dietary supplement has been taken consistently for at least 6 months prior to enrollment, participants should maintain the same stable intake pattern throughout the 24 week study period.
  • Have individual devices to monitor training with GPS
  • Sign informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Diagnostic of knee osteoarthritis or any pathology or surgical intervention associated with the knee.
  • Hypersensitivity to any component of the supplement or the placebo
  • Chronic treatment with analgesic or anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs and corticosteroids families) drugs
  • Treatment with any type of collagen supplement
  • Treatment with probiotics or antibiotics
  • Inability to train for the next 24 weeks
  • Follow a vegan diet
