Vetenskapliga artiklar om GOPO-nyponpulver och häst
Fem publicerade kliniska studier (dubbelblinda, placebokontrollerade och randomiserade) av det unika, patenterade nyponpulvret med galaktolipiden GOPO® har visat en signifikant effekt på människor.
Under 2000-talet har man även börjat studera djursidan, genom forskarna Hamburger/Falk-Rønne/Kharazmi/Winther/ Rein/Winther. Bland annat studerades 44 travare, fullt friska, vältränade och aktiva hästar. Gruppen som fick LitoVet jämfördes med en placebogrupp (som fick overksamt pulver), och man kunde då konstera att de resultat man tidigare kunnat visa på människa, verkade infinna sig även hos häst.
Idag finns tre vetenskapliga artiklar om LitoVet och effekten på hästars rörlighet, samt en in vitro-studie på den patenterade galaktolipiden GOPO®.

Kliniska studier på GOPO-nypon och människa
Under andra halvan av 1990-talet började ett antal forskare under ledning av chefsöverläkare Kaj Winther vid Frederiksbergs sjukhus/Köpenhamns Universitet intressera sig för ett speciellt nyponpulver som var omtalat för sin goda effekt på lederna. Resultatet har blivit fem kliniska, publicerade studier med entydigt goda resultat och världsomspännande patent av bl a galaktolipiden GOPO och torknings- och malningsmetoden som bevarar nyponets goda egenskaper. Närmare 500 patienter har deltagit i studierna.
Patenten ägs av Köpenhamns Universitet, Rigshospitalet i Köpenhamn, Dansk Lantbruksforskning och tillverkaren Hyben Vital A/S. Det är endast det GOPO-rika nyponpulvret från Hyben Vital som använts vid samtliga publicerade studier.
