We're often asked about type II collagen for those that have active lifestyles. Although Type II is found in joints, it's not just consuming more of this type of collagen that helps. The UC II collagen in this product binds to a small patch of cells in the gut which triggers our body into producing more of this type of collagen, primarily found in the cartilage complex in the joints.NUTRITION ADVICE TEAM
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Unlike standard hydrolysed collagen powders that are broken down into amino acids, UC-II® is a patented, undenatured type II collagen. This means its original 3D molecular structure remains intact, allowing it to interact directly with the body's immune system via oral tolerance to help preserve and protect joint cartilage at a much smaller dose (just 40mg daily).
Scientific studies on 40mg of UC-II® Collagen typically demonstrate noticeable improvements in joint comfort, flexibility, and physical function within 90-180 days of consistent daily use.
Yes. Because JointShield contains standard daily amounts of Vitamin C and Vitamin D3 alongside 40mg of UC-II® Collagen, it complements most standard multi-vitamin routines. However, consumers should consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen. Should you have any questions you can always reach out to our Nutrition Advice team.
Collagen is the primary structural protein in the human body, acting as biological "scaffolding" that provides strength and elasticity to bones, tendons, and cartilage.
When you consume a collagen supplement, it does not travel directly to your joints. Instead, the process unfolds in three key steps:
1. Signalling: These absorbed peptides act as biological signals that target cartilage cells (chondrocytes).
2. Stimulation: The signals stimulate the body to produce its own natural collagen while simultaneously supporting local joint health.
