Fem publicerade kliniska studier (dubbelblinda, placebokontrollerade och randomiserade) av LitoVet´s 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. 2010 redovisade man en studie kring hur LitoVet påverkade hundens rörlighet, och kunde då se samma mönster som man redan sett hos människa, d v s en positiv inverkan på ledernas rörlighet.
