NOT ALL COLLAGENS ARE CREATED EQUAL!
UC-II®, a patented form of Undenatured Type-II Collagen, is effective through a unique process called oral tolerance, which down-regulates the immune system’s response that causes inflammation.
Oral Tolerance reduces inflammation and facilitates cartilage repair, reducing dogs’ joint pain and improving mobility.
UC-II® has been clinically proven in multiple studies to significantly improve joint health and mobility in both healthy and arthritic dogs.
Dogs can experience faster and more effective relief from joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation with UC-II® compared to traditional type II collagen supplements, as the patented low-temperature process preserves the 3D structure of the collagen, which enhances it’s bioavailability and absorption.
UC-II® comes from chicken sternum cartilage and has many studies to show its benefits in both healthy and arthritic dogs to support joint comfort, flexibility and mobility
UC-II® aids in significantly reducing pain and inflammation, and as a result, it supports joints and connective tissue to improve flexibility and mobility for adult and senior dogs.
By providing targeted support for the immune system and addressing the underlying causes of joint inflammation, UC-II® collagen can help dogs of all ages maintain healthy joint function and mobility.
In addition, it helps support your dogs’ ability to run, walk and jump, giving you visible results in just a few weeks.
UC-II® is a safe and effective way to decrease pain associated with joint inflammation while helping repair and rebuild damaged joints in dogs.
Numerous research studies in humans and dogs and horses have been conducted and published in peer-reviewed journals.
33% reduction in overall pain
66% reduction in pain upon limb manipulation
44% reduction in exercise-associated lameness
62% reduction in overall pain
91% reduction in pain upon limb manipulation
78% reduction in exercise-associated lameness
None of the dogs showed any signs of adverse effects.
There were no significant changes in any markers of liver function (ALT or bilirubin) or renal or heart function (BUN and creatinine)
UC-II® reacts with the body’s immune system to improve crippling signs and symptoms of arthritis. Type II collagen is the main structural protein found in cartilage & connective tissue, providing strength, toughness, flexibility and support to joints.
UC-II® functions through a process called oral tolerization. This process takes place in the small intestine where food is absorbed. Through a complex series of immunological events, patches of lymphoid tissue (Peyer’s Patches) surrounding the small intestine, screens incoming compounds and serves as a “switch” to turn the body’s immune response to foreign substances on or off.
This interaction between UC-II and the cells deactivates the immune reactions that cause inflammation and pain: this is the phenomenon of oral tolerance.
So not only does UC-II® provide cartilage components to the body, its natural, undenatured 3D structure prevents the immune system from attacking the articular cartilage of your dog’s body.
When using supplements containing UC-II®, you will notice an improvement in your dog’s mobility, as the pain decreases after a few weeks. As you continue to give UC-II® to your dog, you will see them feeling better and more active.
