This 2000 Dalton hydrolyzed type II collagen is a highly bioavailable dietary supplement engineered to support joint health and skin elasticity from within. Unlike intact collagen proteins, its low molecular weight ensures optimal absorption, delivering key amino acids (glycine, proline, hydroxyproline) to target tissues. A 12-week clinical trial with 200 participants showed 85% reported reduced joint pain during movement, while skin hydration improved by 28% as measured by corneometry . It serves as a natural alternative to synthetic joint supplements, with benefits extending beyond symptom relief to structural support.
Superior Absorption:
Hydrolyzed to <2,500 Da, this collagen achieves 90%+ intestinal absorption — 3x higher than standard collagen peptides (>5,000 Da) . Its small molecular size allows passage through intestinal membranes into the bloodstream, where it’s transported to joints and skin.
Multi-Target Benefits:
Joint Support: Stimulates chondrocyte activity, promoting cartilage matrix synthesis and reducing joint space narrowing by 11% in radiological assessments . Inhibits cartilage-degrading enzymes like MMP-13.
Skin Rejuvenation: Enhances dermal collagen density by 15%, reducing wrinkle depth and improving skin firmness. Supports hyaluronic acid production in the dermis, boosting moisture retention .
Clean Label:
Non-GMO, gluten-free, and free of artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. Third-party tested for heavy metals (lead, mercury) and microbial contaminants, ensuring purity . Sourced from grass-fed bovine cartilage, ensuring type II collagen specificity.
Dosage:
Joint Health: 10g daily mixed into water, juice, or smoothies. For severe pain, increase to 15g daily for the first 4 weeks, then reduce to maintenance dose.
Skin Benefits: 5g daily, ideally combined with 500mg vitamin C to enhance collagen synthesis via prolyl hydroxylase activation .
Administration:
Best absorbed when taken on an empty stomach (30 minutes before meals) to avoid competition with other proteins. Stir vigorously to prevent clumping; heat-stable for use in hot beverages like coffee or tea.
Contraindications:
Avoid in patients with fish allergies if sourced from marine cartilage (check product labeling). Not recommended for pregnant/nursing women without medical supervision.
How long does it take to work?
Joint pain relief typically begins within 4–8 weeks of consistent use, with maximal benefits at 12 weeks. Skin improvements, including reduced dryness and increased firmness, become visible after 12 weeks as new collagen forms .
Can it be taken with medications?
Safe for concurrent use with NSAIDs, glucocorticoids, and DMARDs. However, consult a physician before use with anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin) due to potential mild antiplatelet effects .
Is it suitable for vegetarians?
No, this formulation is sourced from bovine cartilage. Plant-based alternatives (e.g., pea protein collagen builders) are available but do not contain type II collagen specific to joint health .
