CanPrev TYPE II Collagen (60 capsules)

If you’ve been browsing the shelves of your local health food store, you’ve likely noticed different types of collagen available. But what’s the difference between type I, II, III, IV, and beyond? Each type is found and used in different areas of the body. Type II collagen is found in the flexible, elastic cartilage that supports your joints and helps them move smoothly, absorb impact, and reduce friction between bones. Breakdown and loss of this cartilage, a common side effect of aging and osteoarthritis, can result in discomfort and inflammation at the joints, making movement difficult.

To keep cartilage abundant, we need plenty of collagen. To build collagen, we need amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, that link into long strands to form collagen. Those strands are sequenced in different arrangements, and these differences in structure determine the type of collagen.

Unlike supplemental collagen peptides, which are broken down into shorter sequences of amino acids for easy absorption, type II undenatured collagen is in its original structure. When taken supplementally, it passes through the digestive system, where the collagen structure may interact with the immune system to support a healthy inflammatory response – which may help reduce joint pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee.

CanPrev’s Type II Collagen is powered by UC-II® – a patented form of undenatured type II collagen from chicken cartilage – plus added Boswellin® SUPER. This powerful combination starts to help reduce joint pain and stiffness due to osteoarthritis of the knee in as little as 7 days.
