JointShield UC-II® Collagen is a next-generation joint health supplement engineered to support cartilage health, mobility, flexibility, and overall joint comfort. Designed for active adults, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone looking to maintain smooth, everyday mobility, this formula combines the targeted power of undenatured type II collagen with essential vitamins to support bone and joint health.

Did you know? Research in Ageing Research Reviews reveals that the type II collagen in your knees today is largely the same as what you had as a teenager. Over decades, everyday sugars bind to the collagen fibres, naturally making them stiffer.

Proactively support your joint health with JointShield UC-II® Collagen: Type II collagen is the most abundant collagen of the joints. As natural collagen production slows, cartilage thins and joints lose cushioning, often before the discomfort begins. JointShield UC-II® Collagen delivers a daily 40mg level of scientifically researched Type II collagen to maintain an active lifestyle. Consistent use for 90-180 days is key for long-term benefits.

Ingredients and benefits

Ingredient Amount per 1-a-day Capsule Primary Function & Benefit
UC-II® Collagen 40mg

Type II collagen that works locally with the body to support joint comfort, flexibility, and cartilage integrity.

UC-II® collagen is undenatured unlike other collagen supplements which may have been hydrolysed. The UC-II® structure remains intact which is key to its unique function.

Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 2.5µg Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bone & muscle function.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) 40mg Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage and helps reduce oxidative stress.
Copper 0.25mg Copper contributes to maintenance of normal connective tissues.
Manganese 0.5mg

Manganese contributes to the normal formation of connective tissue.

Manganese is essential for activation of glycosyltransferase enzymes responsible for proteoglycan synthesis.

Manganese is a critical, rate limiting factor for the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), specifically the formation of proteoglycans (the building blocks of connective tissue in bone & cartilage).

What is UC-II® Collagen?

JointShield contains premium UC-II® Collagen - a patented, well researched form of undenatured type II collagen formulated for superior joint support. Unlike standard collagen, UC-II® specifically targets the Type II collagen found predominantly in your joints, cartilage, and connective tissues. This makes it an ideal choice for proactive joint care and maintaining joint health against the daily stresses of exercise and activity.

How Does UC-II® Collagen Work for Joint Repair?

The efficacy of UC-II® lies in its unique, undenatured form. This preserved structure allows UC-II® to be absorbed by the body in a distinct way, differentiating it from conventional hydrolysed collagens. Rather than simply being broken down, research indicates that UC-II® actively engages the body's immune cells within the small intestine, which then signals the body to initiate collagen formation and cartilage rebuilding. This targeted approach supports natural body processes involved with cartilage regeneration and joint maintenance.

According to Arthritis UK, “type II collagen can provide positive outcomes in discomfort, stiffness and joint function for those with joint health challenges, especially in the knee.”

Did you know?

Type II Collagen makes up 85–90% of the collagen in articular cartilage and forms a thin, loose, woven network of fibrils that trap other molecules to help with handling physical stress and absorbing shock.

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.

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.
