The cartilage is processed through enzymatic hydrolysis, which breaks the large native collagen protein (approximately 300,000 daltons) into smaller peptide fragments (typically 2,000 to 5,000 daltons). This hydrolysis dramatically improves absorption from the gut into the bloodstream compared to intact collagen protein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Type II Collagen and Why Does It Matter for Joints?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are at least 28 distinct types of collagen, each with a specific structural role in different tissues. Type I and Type III collagen are the predominant forms in skin, bone, and tendons and are the collagen types found in most bovine and marine collagen supplements. Type II collagen is the primary structural collagen of articular cartilage, the smooth hyaline cartilage that covers the ends of bones in synovial joints including the knees, hips, and shoulders. It accounts for 90 to 95% of the collagen in articular cartilage and is responsible for cartilage's ability to resist compressive forces. For joint cartilage support specifically, Type II collagen from cartilage sources is the relevant form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelps relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis\u003c\/strong\u003e Health Canada licensed use under NPN 80051051.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelps reduce joint inflammation\u003c\/strong\u003e Health Canada licensed use under NPN 80051051.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSource of collagen\u003c\/strong\u003e Health Canada licensed use under NPN 80051051.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType II collagen from chicken cartilage\u003c\/strong\u003e The cartilage-specific collagen type. 90 to 95% of articular cartilage collagen is Type II.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHydrolyzed peptides\u003c\/strong\u003e Enzymatically broken down for improved absorption compared to intact collagen protein.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e500mg per capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e 3000mg daily dose at 6 capsules per day.

It provides a low-friction surface for joint movement and distributes compressive forces across the joint. The cartilage matrix is composed primarily of Type II collagen, which provides the structural framework and tensile strength, and proteoglycans such as aggrecan, which provide compressive resistance through water retention. Articular cartilage is avascular and has limited capacity for self-repair. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage matrix breaks down progressively, with degradation of Type II collagen and proteoglycans leading to loss of cartilage structure and joint function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Hydrolyzed Peptides Are Better Absorbed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative collagen is a large triple-helix protein that is poorly absorbed from the digestive tract intact. Enzymatic hydrolysis breaks collagen into smaller peptide fragments that cross the intestinal wall efficiently. Research has shown that hydrolyzed collagen peptides, particularly the dipeptide Pro-Hyp (proline-hydroxyproline), are detectable in the bloodstream and in joint tissues after oral supplementation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOsteoarthritis and the Licensed Claims\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOsteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, characterized by progressive breakdown of articular cartilage in synovial joints.
