This product contains BioCell Collagen II®, a
patented, hydrolyzed and denatured low molecular weight type II collagen. This
form of collagen is the most abundant form in the joint matrix. In addition to
collagen, BioCell Collagen II provides the combined benefits of hyaluronic acid
(HA), depolymerized low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine
sulfate and amino acids including lysine, proline and hydroxyproline.* Supports Joint Health: The unique profile
of compounds in BioCell Collagen II promote cartilage synthesis and enhance
synovial fluid, supporting the composition, integrity and motility of joints. In
a double blind placebo controlled study involving 16 individuals supplementing
with BioCell Collagen II for 8 weeks, results indicate statistically significant
support for joint function and comfort. In a peak absorption study, serum levels
of HA increased gradually and with statistical significance after BioCell
Collagen II supplementation, emphasizing the potential for this compound to
provide important connective tissue support.* Promotes Skin Health: The components of
collagen type II also support the elasticity and firmness of skin. Furthermore,
HA attracts water, promoting hydration and moisture retention within the dermal
matrix. Case reports have suggested that BioCell Collagen II may help rejuvenate
skin and modulate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.* BioCel Collagen is a
