WHAT IS UC-II COLLAGEN?

Cartilage matrix is produced by the specialized cells called chondrocytes that arise from the specialized part of the bone. Cartilage slowly self-regenerates stimulated by joint movement and friction. Having healthy and renewable cartilage is imperative to maintaining a healthy active lifestyle and flexibility of your whole body well into the latter stages of life.

Joint discomfort and stiffness can severely limit your ability to be active and participate in social activities. It can be also very frustrating because it interferes with all major aspects of life involving movement. This impacts the quality of life and increases your dependence on others to do your own things, even as simple as tying your own shoes and looking after yourself.

You can start reducing your joint discomfort and become active again with UC-II - a natural way of managing your joint health and preventing small issues from escalating further!

How Does UC-II Work?

UC-II is clinically proven to protect your joints! It contains a patented form of an undenatured collagen type II (UC-II) that has been clinically tested to protect your joints from excessive inflammation and consequent degradation, thus allowing enough time for the cartilage matrix to renew itself. Collagen type II is commonly found in all joints of your body and helps to maintain the integrity of the joint cartilage. Undenatured collagen type II in Caltrate UC-II is specifically processed and extracted using low temperature conditions to retain its native structure, thus making it effective.

Undenatured Collagen type II (UC-II) can support joints in ageing and be equally effective in preventing or reducing further damage caused by wear and tear due to daily activities and strenuous exercises by slowing down cartilage degradation and promoting collagen formation in the joint, and as consequence improving joint flexibility and mobility.

UC-II has been clinically proven to promote healthier joints by way of retraining your body's defence system to recognize undenatured collagen type II found in your joints as friendly material. Taking regular UC-II effectively prevents your immune cells from mounting continuous waves of attacks against your own joint tissue and at the same time stimulates chondrocytes to start producing more collagen, giving joints enough time to start rebuilding healthy cartilage. This process is called "oral tolerance" and is achieved by daily oral supplementation with UC-II to support your joint health.

UC-II has been clinically proven to more effective than glucosamine + chondroitin! The results of a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study1 have shown that UC-II is more effective than glucosamine hydrochloride + chondroitin sulphate in relieving joint discomfort and joint stiffness.
