FAQ questions and answers for CHRONIX Injury & Joint Repair Gel
Frequently asked questions
What is Functional Fortis?
Functional Fortis is an Australian topical recovery brand. Every product is built around a transdermal delivery system, meaning the formula is designed to move through the skin and reach the tissue underneath, not just sit on the surface. The first product is CHRONIX, a four-ingredient recovery gel. More products are in development and will be held to the same standard.
What makes Functional Fortis different from other recovery products?
Most topical recovery products rely on menthol to create a cooling sensation and call it done. Functional Fortis builds differently. Every formula starts with a delivery mechanism first, then adds ingredients that each have a clear, specific reason for being included. Nothing is added to make a label look fuller. If an ingredient is in the formula, there is a reason for it and we will tell you what that reason is.
What is CHRONIX?
CHRONIX is a topical recovery gel made with four ingredients. It is built on a transdermal delivery system and is designed to provide a noticeable cooling response within minutes of application. It is the first product from Functional Fortis.
How many ingredients does CHRONIX have?
CHRONIX has four active ingredients. Each one is included for a specific, defined role. We would rather explain four ingredients clearly than list twelve and hope one of them works.
What is DMSO and why is it in CHRONIX?
DMSO stands for dimethyl sulfoxide. It is an organic sulfur compound that is recognised for its ability to move quickly through the skin. What makes it useful in a topical formula is that it also carries other applied ingredients with it. This means the other active ingredients in CHRONIX are not just sitting on the skin surface, they are being transported into the tissue. DMSO is the delivery mechanism that everything else in the formula depends on.
How fast does CHRONIX work?
CHRONIX is formulated to provide a noticeable cooling response within minutes of application. Individual results can vary depending on the area applied and the person using it.
Is CHRONIX just a menthol product?
No. CHRONIX does not lean on menthol as its main ingredient. It uses a transdermal delivery agent as the base and builds from there with three additional activities, each chosen for a specific reason.
Where is CHRONIX made?
CHRONIX is manufactured in Australia. Specific facility details are still being confirmed and will be updated on the site once available.
Are all the ingredients listed?
Yes. Every active ingredient in CHRONIX is named and explained on the site, along with the reason it is included. There are no hidden or unnamed ingredients. Full ingredient breakdown information is available on the product page.
