UC-II® undenatured type II collagen is a patented form of collagen with undenatured (native) type II collagen for joint health support. A small amount (40 mg/day) is believed to work by inducing a process known as oral tolerance that ultimately engages the immune system in the repair of its own joint cartilage.

Several clinical trials have demonstrated that UC-II® undenatured type II collagen offers joint health benefits not only for people with osteoarthritis (OA), but for healthy adults. Additionally, animal studies have demonstrated similar joint health benefits in companion dogs and horses.

This white paper describes how UC-II® undenatured type II collagen has a broad-spectrum of use, is well tolerated and provides significant joint health benefits.
