Collagen is a matrix of natural proteins found in skin, muscle and connective tissue — cartilage, tendons and ligaments. Collagen fibres provide support, strength and elasticity to tissues, many of which connect muscle to bone or, like cartilage, provide a cushion between joints. With age, cartilage that covers and cushions bones starts to thin, causing bone-on-bone joint contact, or osteoarthritis (OA), which brings pain, limited flexibility and reduced motion. In some conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, the body launches an immune response that attacks collage formation in cartilage and that, in turn, disables joint function. If you are experiencing joint pain or stiffness from arthritis, a collagen supplement can help. UC-II® undenatured Type II collagen contains active ingredients that slow the secretion of cartilage-degrading enzymes, while promoting cartilage restoration. Other products — sold as “denatured” or “hydrolyzed” —undergo high-temperature processing that can modify collagen’s active compounds. Only UC-II® undenatured Type II collagen is manufactured using a patented low-temperature process to preserve these therapeutic molecules. Jamieson’s scientific formula also contains glucosamine to boost cartilage formation, plus Vitamin C and magnesium, which synergistically work to support collagen formation and improve joint and muscle function. Made exclusively using North American ingredients, Jamieson Collagen Glucosamine Complex is the only collagen product shown by clinical research to help reduce the pain and discomfort of arthritis.
