Undenatured Type II Collagen. What is undenatured Type II Collagen? What are its effects? Let's take a look today!
When talking about non-denatured type II collagen, we have to first talk about the structural composition of the joints.
Pets have different types of collagen in their bodies, and 90% of the collagen in cartilage is type II collagen. The composition of articular cartilage is very unique: 80% is water, and the rest is mostly collagen fibers and proteoglycans. The collagen fibers form a network structure that encapsulates nutrients, providing elasticity and resistance, allowing it to withstand loads and absorb shock.
Although there are many reasons for joint problems, there are two from the perspective of joint structure:
1. Malnutrition or nutrient loss leads to reduced synovial fluid, thinning of cartilage, and damage to articular cartilage;
2. Immune disorder: The immune system regards type II collagen in cartilage as an invading "enemy" and sends immune cells to attack articular cartilage, causing joint inflammation and cartilage damage.
This is actually just like our "allergy", the human immune system is intolerant to type II collagen.To block inflammation, in addition to replenishing joint nutrients, the immune system must no longer view the type II collagen in articular cartilage as an enemy. This process is known as building immune tolerance.
Non-denatured type II collagen is extracted from animal cartilage using patented low-temperature extraction technology, preserving its intact triple helix structure and biological activity. Non-denatured type II collagen is the type II collagen found in nature that most closely resembles the structure of human articular cartilage.
1. Structural Proteins
Non-denatured type II collagen can directly replenish cartilage collagen, repair broken collagen networks, maintain the smooth surface and structural integrity of cartilage, and help joints withstand stress loads.
2. Immune Proteins
Non-denatured type II collagen is an oral immunosuppressant that is effective at low doses. It promotes oral immune tolerance, rapidly alleviates inflammation, slows inflammation, promotes cartilage repair, and inhibits cartilage degradation.
3. Harvard studies have confirmed that non-denatured type II collagen is twice as effective as glucosamine and chondroitin.
In summary, undenatured type II collagen is also very effective for joint health in cats and dogs, with rapid and effective results. However, its use in pet brands is still relatively uncommon, primarily for human consumption.
It is also rich in six joint nutrients, providing a comprehensive nutritional support program for joints, aiding joint development, relieving swelling and pain, repairing cartilage, maintaining joint health, and enabling greater mobility in pets.
