Undenatured Type II Collagen comes from chicken sternum cartilage. It is made by a patented, low-temperature, nonenzymatic process that keeps the natural triple helix shape of the molecule and its biological activity. The collagen carries active binding sites called epitopes, and these start a process known as oral tolerization. In this process, the epitopes interact with the Peyer's patches (lymphoid tissue) of the small intestine, which release collagen-specific regulatory T-cells. These cells then travel to the joint areas and stop the release of T-cells that damage joint cartilage. Undenatured Type II Collagen also prevents macrophages from secreting collagenase enzymes, which break down collagen in joint cartilage. It slows the production of inflammatory cytokines too, so inflammation falls, the erosion of joint cartilage is halted and cartilage rebuilding is promoted.

Hyaluronic acid is naturally present throughout the human body. In the joints it does several jobs. For lubrication, it binds well to water and forms a thick, jelly-like fluid, which lubricates the joint and also acts as a shock absorber. For growth of cartilage and bone, it helps the joint's cartilage and bone grow and develop by promoting the growth of new cells and tissues. It also helps reduce joint inflammation and pain caused by injury or tissue degeneration.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Sulphur, a major component of MSM, plays an important role in making collagen and glucosamine, and both are needed for healthy bones and joints. In a clinical study, MSM showed a significant decrease in WOMAC pain and physical function impairment.

Turmeric extract contains curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Its anti-inflammatory effects are believed to come from blocking pro-inflammatory signals such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes and cyclooxygenase-2. Curcumin has also been shown to suppress several pro-inflammatory cytokines and the mediators that release them, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-1, IL-8 and nitric oxide synthase.

Boswellic acid is the active ingredient in Boswellia serrata. It has significant pharmacological activity in treating inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. Research has shown that 3-O-Acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA), found in Boswellia serrata extract, has a powerful inhibitory effect on 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX).

No studies have looked at the use of Undenatured Type II Collagen, Hayaluronic Acid, Methylsulfonylmethane, Turmeric Extract and Boswellia serrata Extract during pregnancy or breastfeeding. So this medicine should be taken with caution and with medical advice.

Keep this medicine in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 30° C. Protect it from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of the reach of children.
