Pharmacology
Undenatured Type II Collagen derived from chicken
sternum cartilage using a patented, low-temperature, non-enzymatic
manufacturing process that preserves the natural triple helix molecular
configuration and its biological activity. Undenatured collagen II has
unique mechanism of action. Undenatured collagen II molecules contain
active binding sites called epitopes which trigger the process of oral
tolerization. Through oral tolerization process, active epitopes of
undenatured collagen II interact with Peyer’s patches (lymphoid tissue)
of small intestine to release collagen-specific regulatory T-cells.
Collagen-specific regulatory T-cells then migrate to joint areas and
prevent release of T-cells.Preventing the release of T-cells prevent the
secretion of collagenase enzymes by macrophages responsible for
breakdown of collagen in joint cartilage. It also slows the production
of inflammatory cytokines resulting in reduction of inflammation,
halting the erosion of joint cartilage and promote cartilage
rebuilding.Undenatured Type II Collagen supports joint function,
mobility and flexibilityand also improves knee extension by up to 10%
for better range of motion. It also relieves joint pain due to strenuous
exercise.
