Now UC-II Type II Collagen, 60 V.Caps

Cartilage is one of the main connective tissues of the body, providing flexibility and support in the bone joints. The Undenatured Type II Collagen is the major structural protein of cartilage, resulting from sternal cartilage of chicken and consists of Undenatured Type II Collagen that works with the immune system for healthy joints and ensure proper mobility and flexibility of joints. The NOW ® UC-II ® is fortified with Aquamin ® Red Algae Minerals, rich natural source of bioavailable calcium and magnesium containing more than 70 other important trace elements.

Just 40 mg UC-II ® has proven to be two times more effective than the glucosamine (glucosamine) + chondroitin (chondroitin).

The UC-II ® promotes healthy joints, helping to avoid breaking the cartilage of joints. The UC-II ® works with the immune system to turn off specific T cells in collagen to no longer attack the joints, and thus may help the immune system to maintain normal joint function and healthy collagen formation with long-term benefits.


The UC-II ® is made using a patented low-temperature process that ensures the biological activity of undenatured type II collagen. Other forms of type II collagen is denatured, or hydrolyzed. In other words, the molecular configuration has changed, either by chemical or high temperature treatment, rendering them inactive. The type II collagen must be in native (undenatured) form to be effective.
