NOW Foods UC-II® Advanced Joint Relief combines, in one capsule per day, 40 mg of UC-II® — standardised chicken cartilage providing 10 mg of total collagen, including undenatured type II collagen —, 25 mg of hyaluronic acid (from sodium hyaluronate), 3 mg of boron (boron glycinate, Albion™), 50 mg of Aquamin® (seaweed-derived minerals, with 15 mg of calcium) and 25 mcg (1000 IU) of vitamin D3.
UC-II® collagen is called "undenatured" because it is obtained by a low-temperature process that preserves the protein's original structure. Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan naturally present in the body. Vitamin D contributes to normal absorption/utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, to the maintenance of normal bones, to the maintenance of normal muscle function and to the normal function of the immune system.
Contains chicken — not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. Not manufactured with soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or sesame. Made in GMP facilities in the USA. 60 capsules = 60 servings (2 months).
