Collagen Type II UC-II® Undenatured: Joint Mobility, Flexibility and Comfort – Advanced Formula For Cartilage, Bones and Movement Without Discomfort

Collagen Type II UC-II® Undenatured, Now Foods is a premium supplement designed to support joint health through an intelligent combination of active ingredients: Standardized UC-II® Chicken Cartilage (40 mg, providing 10 mg total collagen, including undenatured type II collagen), Aquamin® (250 mg) – comprehensive mineral complex derived from red algae (Lithothamnium spp.) – and Calcium from Aquamin® (80 mg, 6% RDA). Native type II collagen (undenatured) is the main structural form in joint cartilage, and UC-II® extract is recognized for its "oral tolerance" mechanism, which supports the body's balanced response at cartilage tissue level, contributing to joint comfort, flexibility and movement fluidity. Aquamin® brings a natural spectrum of marine minerals (including magnesium and trace elements), supporting bone density, mineral metabolism and electrolyte balance.

In the context of an active lifestyle or repetitive daily effort, joints are intensely subjected to mechanical stresses. Maintaining cartilage integrity, synovial fluid and good musculotendinous function becomes essential to preserve freedom of movement. The synergy between UC-II® and Aquamin® addresses both the structural component (collagen/cartilage) and the mineral one (bone and electrolyte environment), providing comprehensive support for harmonious movement.

Detailed Benefits of Collagen Type II UC-II® Undenatured, Now Foods

• Supporting joint comfort and daily mobility

Joint comfort is the foundation of an active life. UC-II® contains type II collagen in native (undenatured) form, associated with oral tolerance support – a pathway through which the body calibrates its response to contact with this structural protein. When signaling is balanced:
✅ It supports comfort in daily movements (lifting, climbing stairs, prolonged walking)
✅ It encourages joint fluidity in daily routine and recreational activities
✅ It favors maintaining a functional range of movement, with sensation of lightness

• Cartilage integrity through native type II collagen

Joint cartilage is specialized tissue, rich in type II collagen and proteoglycans. Maintaining its fine organization is essential for cushioning and sliding. Native type II collagen from UC-II®:
✅ Supports cartilage macromolecular structure and extracellular matrix state
✅ Contributes to physiological "dialogue" between chondrocytes and joint environment
✅ Favors long-term functionality of repeatedly stressed joints

• Flexibility and movement amplitude

A functional joint combines stability with flexibility. By supporting cartilage and joint adaptation mechanisms, Collagen Type II UC-II® Undenatured, Now Foods:
✅ Encourages smooth and uniform movements, useful in training, hiking or office work
✅ Helps maintain natural movement amplitude, necessary for daily gestures
✅ Supports transitions between positions (sitting-standing, bending-extending) with more ease

• Aquamin® – complete mineral spectrum for skeleton and metabolism

Aquamin® is a comprehensive marine mineral source, obtained from red algae, providing calcium, magnesium and trace elements in a natural matrix. This profile:
✅ Supports bone density and resistance, alongside active lifestyle and adequate nutrition
✅ Contributes to electrolyte balance and neuromuscular function
✅ Provides a mineral base that "complements" cartilage support provided by UC-II®

• Calcium (80 mg, 6% RDA) – essential brick for bone

Although the dose is supportive, calcium from Aquamin® adds value to the formula:
✅ Participates in bone mineralization and skeleton structure maintenance
✅ Contributes to coordinated muscle contraction and nerve transmission
✅ Supports calcium-dependent cellular processes, harmoniously integrating with other minerals

• Balance between stability and elasticity at joint level

Performing joints combine a solid "skeleton" (bone) with an elastic "core" (cartilage). This formula:
✅ Supports stability through Aquamin® and calcium mineral intake
✅ Encourages elasticity and joint sliding through native UC-II®
✅ Favors coherent joint "response" to varied mechanical stresses

• Efficient movement and active routine

Whether it's daily activities or scheduled training, biomechanical coherence matters:
✅ Support for sustained walking and prolonged standing
✅ Support for changes in direction, pace or intensity in recreational sports activities
✅ Contribution to general sensation of "joints ready for movement"

• Synergy between collagen and marine minerals

The UC-II® + Aquamin® combination brings together two biological "languages": protein (cartilage) and mineral (bone):
✅ UC-II® addresses cartilage matrix and joint physiological response
✅ Aquamin® provides mineral context for bone and muscle
✅ Together, they support a better harmonized locomotor system

• Supporting recovery after daily stresses

After periods of intense activity or prolonged static positions, a formula oriented on cartilage and bone can help:
✅ Regain lightness in movements
✅ Resume active routine with more ease
✅ Maintain step rhythmicity and gesture coordination
