NOW® UC-II® Type II® Collagen Capsules — Healthy Joint Support Cartilage Health
UC-II® Type II® Collagen Capsules contain a unique form of undenatured (native) type II® collagen, a crucial structural protein derived from chicken sternum cartilage. This specific collagen formulation works synergistically with the immune system to modulate joint responses, promoting the integrity and resilience of cartilage. Clinical research indicates that daily supplementation with UC-II® supports healthy joint comfort, function, and overall flexibility, contributing to sustained joint mobility.
Cartilage is one of the primary connective tissues of the body, providing flexibility and support to joints. Undenatured type II® collagen is the principal structural protein in cartilage that is responsible for its tensile strength and toughness. Derived from chicken sternum cartilage, the UC-II® by NOW® ingredient is a unique form of collagen with undenatured (native) type II® collagen that works with the immune system to support healthy joints. Human clinical studies have found that supplementing with just one 40 mg capsule of UC-II® per day can help to promote joint comfort, as well as healthy joint function and flexibility.
