Cartilage is an opaque, white, elastic, smooth, shiny, and wet connective tissue that provides flexibility and support to the joints.
The Undenatured Type II Collagen is a structural protein of cartilage, derived from the cartilage of the chicken sternum.
The product UC-II® promotes healthy joints by helping to prevent the rupture of cartilage and ligaments.
Additionally, it works with the immune system to deactivate specific T cells, so they do not further burden the joints. In this way, it helps in the normal functioning of joints and the healthy formation of collagen with long-term benefits for the body.
Scientific study indicates that 40 mg UC-II® is twice as effective as glucosamine and chondroitin.
This patented product is manufactured with the low-temperature process to ensure the biological activity of Undenatured Type II Collagen.
Other forms of type II collagen in the international market are modified or hydrolyzed due to their altered molecular composition.
A change that has been made either by chemical process or high-temperature processing, making them inactive. Type II collagen is effective only in its undenatured form.
