The topic:

Building the science for a successful joint health claim is not easy. A diseased population is not what the regulators are looking for. So how do we measure joint health in people with healthy joints? What are the accepted biomarkers and how do the trials differ between ingredients? Learning from lessons from around the world, this webinar will examine the science supporting the man joint health ingredients and how to design clinical trials for claims success.
