Type II Collagen Powder

Product Description

Type II Collagen is a fibrous structural protein primarily found in cartilage, providing tensile strength and elasticity. It is essential for joint cushioning and mobility.

• Undenatured Type II Collagen: Maintains its native structure, helps regulate immune response and reduce cartilage degradation.

• Hydrolyzed Type II Collagen: Improves bioavailability for skin and joint repair.

This product is widely used in joint health formulas, often combined with glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, MSM, and hyaluronic acid for synergistic benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the best source of type II collagen?

A: The most effective source for joint health is undenatured type II collagen (UC-II®), derived from chicken sternum cartilage. This patented form is processed at low temperatures to preserve its unique structure, allowing it to work with the immune system to support joint tolerance and health. It is superior to denatured (hydrolyzed) type II collagen for targeted joint support.

Q: Is type 2 collagen better for joints?

A: Yes, for targeted joint comfort and flexibility, undenatured type II collagen (UC-II®) is specifically designed for this purpose. It works differently from standard hydrolyzed collagen: rather than just providing building blocks, it helps “educate” the immune system to tolerate the body’s own collagen, thereby reducing the inflammatory response that attacks joint cartilage.

Q: Are Vital Proteins collagen type II?

A: Most Vital Proteins products (like their popular collagen peptides) are primarily hydrolyzed Type I and Type III collagen from bovine sources, designed for skin, hair, and nail benefits. They are not the specialized undenatured Type II collagen (UC-II®) used for targeted joint immune support. Always check the label for “Type II” or “UC-II®.”

Q: How long does it take for type 2 collagen to work?

A: Many users report feeling a difference in joint comfort and mobility within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use. However, for optimal, sustained results, clinical studies suggest taking it for at least 3 to 6 months.

Q: What foods contain type 2 collagen?

A: Type II collagen is found in the cartilage of animals. The richest dietary sources include:

• Chicken Cartilage (especially from the sternum or knee)

• Bone Broth (when made with cartilage-rich joints and bones)

• Pig Knuckles/Trotters

• Fish Skin and Heads It’s important to note that cooking (e.g., making bone broth) denatures the collagen, converting it to a form similar to hydrolyzed collagen. To get the specific immune-modulating benefits of undenatured type II collagen, a supplement like UC-II® is the most reliable source.
