NOW Foods UC-II Type II Collagen 60 Capsules

NOW® UC-II® delivers undenatured type II collagen to promote healthy joint comfort and function.* Cartilage is a primary connective tissue that gives joints flexibility and support, and undenatured type II collagen is its principal structural protein, responsible for tensile strength and toughness.* Derived from chicken sternum cartilage, UC-II® is a unique form of collagen kept in its native (undenatured) state so it works with the immune system to support healthy joints.* Human clinical studies found that just one 40 mg capsule of UC-II® per day can help promote joint comfort, function and flexibility — a remarkably low, convenient once-daily dose.*

Frequently asked questions

How is UC-II different from other collagen?
UC-II® is undenatured (native) type II collagen from chicken cartilage — kept in its natural folded form so it works with the immune system to support healthy joints. That's why a tiny 40 mg once-daily dose is effective, unlike the multi-gram doses of hydrolyzed collagen.*

How much and when do I take it?
Just 1 capsule daily, taken at bedtime on an empty stomach — a simple, clinically studied once-a-day routine.*

Is it vegetarian?
No — UC-II® is derived from chicken sternum cartilage, so it's not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.*
