As you age and continue to put stress on your joints, you can compromise joint cartilage — which exposes small collagen fibers. Your body’s immune system mistakenly identifies these collagen fibers as “foreign cells.” This triggers an inflammatory response against the collagen-containing cartilage in your own joints. Inflammation and joint discomfort can soon follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBio-Collagen with Patented UC-II is a novel form of undenatured type II collagen from chicken cartilage shown to provide targeted support for the immune issues related to joint discomfort. Taken orally, UC-II travels to the intestinal tract where it “introduces” the immune system to the same type of collagen molecules found in joint cartilage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNormally, when chicken collagen is processed, its molecular shape is changed. It loses bioactivity and becomes denatured — which researchers found has no beneficial effect on the immune system. Fortunately, a unique processing technique preserves the correct molecular shape of the collagen — and preserves its bioactivity — producing a form known as undenatured collagen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScientific studies have found that UC-II reduced sensitive joint discomfort and eased joint function. One double-blind, placebo-controlled study on patients found that UC-II provided relief by 33%, and decreased joint discomfort scores by a remarkable 40% — in just 90 days!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Life Extension","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37691534508186,"sku":"LX16316","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/8536\/5658\/products\/life-extension-collagen-default-title-bio-collagen-with-patented-uc-ii-40-mg-60-small-capsules-13317495718042.jpg?v=1778781148","url":"https:\/\/betterhealthinternational.com\/products\/bio-collagen-with-patented-uc-ii-40-mg-60-small-capsules","provider":"Better Health International","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
