Glucosamine is an amino sugar found naturally in cartilage. It gives the body the basic raw material it needs to make joint cartilage. Chondroitin is another natural part of cartilage, a mucopolysaccharide. It stimulates cartilage production, inhibits enzymes that destroy cartilage, draws fluid to the cells and helps lubricate the joints. Glucosamine and chondroitin work together synergistically to help stimulate the production and regeneration of connective tissues (for example cartilage, bone, tendon, skin, mucous membrane and blood vessels).

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 molecules carry active binding sites called epitopes, and these trigger a process known as oral tolerization. Through this process, the active epitopes interact with the Peyer's patches (lymphoid tissue) of the small intestine, which then release collagen-specific regulatory T-cells. These T-cells move to the joint areas and stop the release of T-cells that are destructive for 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 as well, so inflammation is reduced, the erosion of joint cartilage is halted and cartilage rebuilding is promoted.

No studies have looked at how Undenatured Type II Collagen, Glucosamine and Chondroitin affect women during pregnancy or breastfeeding. So if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take this combination with caution and only after talking to your doctor.
