UC-II Undenatured Type II Collagen – 60 Veg Caps | NOW Foods

NOW Foods UC-II Undenatured Type II Collagen delivers 40 mg of UC-II Standardized Chicken Cartilage per capsule, providing 10 mg of total collagen including undenatured type II collagen. UC-II is a patented, bioavailable form of type II collagen derived from chicken cartilage using a proprietary low-temperature, non-enzymatic process that preserves the native triple-helix structure of the collagen molecule. This undenatured form is distinct from hydrolyzed collagen peptides and is used at a lower dose per serving.

Each capsule also contains 250 mg of Aquamin, a multi-mineral complex derived from the marine algae Lithothamnium spp. Aquamin is a whole-plant seaweed source that provides calcium and a broad range of trace minerals in their naturally occurring matrix. The calcium in this product, sourced entirely from Aquamin, contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal teeth, and is needed for normal muscle function.

Produced in the United States in a GMP-certified facility, NOW Foods UC-II Undenatured Type II Collagen is presented in a convenient once-daily vegetarian capsule format. The product is gluten-free and lactose-free, making it suitable for individuals with these dietary requirements.
