UC-II® Collagen
 Powerful
Convenient Joint Complex
Cartilage is the connective tissue that
covers the ends of your bones to form a smooth,
shock-absorbing surface for your joints. Years of stress
from our own immune system can wear away cartilage and limit
joint flexibility. UC-II®, or undenatured type II
collagen, when taken orally, helps support a healthy
inflammatory response, immune function, and increased joint
flexibility and mobility.
A study which is entitled "Efficacy and Safety of
Glycosylated Undenatured
Type II Collagen (UC-II) in Therapy of Arthritic Dogs"
stated this:
"This study provides strong evidence that UC-II can
provide significant help for those suffering from joint
health problems," stated Dr. Ramesh Gupta, professor
and head of toxicology and veterinary medicine who led the
research team. "It also shows that UC-II can
significantly enhance the effects of glucosamine plus
chondroitin sulfate in arthritis sufferers."
A Clinical study shows that UC-II is more
than Twice as effective in reducing osteoarthritic pain and
Glucosamine and Chondroitin.
The study, presented at the American
College of Nutrition meeting in Arlington, VA on October 3,
2008 by Dr. Bagchi PhD., F.A.C.N. demonstrates the efficacy
of UC-II®
in an older arthritic population experiencing joint pain and
stiffness in the knees from osteoarthritis. It was observed
that both treatments reduced the WOMAC index score which
measures the difficulty in physical function, stiffness and
pain in the knee. However, treatment with UC-II®
was found to be significantly more effective and reduced the
WOMAC score by 33% compared to 14% in glucosamine plus
chondroitin treated groups after 90 days. Similar results
were obtained for VAS scores. Although both the treatments
reduced the VAS score, UC-II®
was found to be most effective with 40% decrease after 90
days of treatment compared to 15.4% in glucosamine plus
chondroitin treated groups. The Lequesne’s functional
index was used to determine the effect of different
treatments on pain during daily activities. Treatment with
UC-II®
reduced Lequesne’s functional index score by 20.1%
compared to 5.9 % in glucosamine plus chondroitin treated
groups. Thus, the UC-II®
treated group showed improvement in daily activities
suggesting an improvement in quality of life.
