The importance of cartilage & collagen in your body
Cartilage is an important structural component of the body and is found in many areas including the joints between bones e.g. your knees, elbows, hips, fingers and ankles. As we grow older, cartilage starts to wear down causing bones to rub together (known as Osteoarthritis). Cartilage is therefore important to help protect against conditions such as Osteoarthritis.
Undenatured type-II collagen is the principal structural protein in cartilage, responsible for its strength and toughness. A new, natural form of undenatured type II collagen known as UC-II® has been recently developed by Swiss experts
There is no doubt that UC-II® looks like becoming one of the most important breakthroughs for joint health in recent times and this is backed by human clinical research that shows UC-II® can:
Clinical studies: the proof
UNDENATURED TYPE II COLLAGEN (UC-II®) FOR JOINT SUPPORT: A RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED STUDY IN HEALTHY VOLUNTEERS.
J lnt Soc Sports Nutr. 2013;10:48. Lugo JP, et al.
Summary: ‘The results indicate that intake of collagen type II improved joint function significantly and the number of people who were pain-free was higher in the group that took the collagen type II supplement. Collagen also supports joint flexibility as demonstrated by greater knee extension. This ingredient has been determined to be safe for human consumption and provides an effective way to manage pain of the joints and increase flexibility.’
