UC-II® collagen is a patented form of undenatured (native) type 2 collagen. It is manufactured through a gentle, low temperature, non-enzymatic process that preserves the triple-helix structure and immune-activating properties of native collagen.* UC-II® collagen works in the small intestine through a process called oral tolerization to help slow down the degradation of type II collagen in joints.* This novel ingredient has been the subject of numerous clinical trials, including two comparative studies that indicate UC-II® collagen may be more effective than the current “gold standard” combination of glucosamine + chondroitin.* Overall, UC-II® collagen has been shown to produce broad-spectrum joint effects:

promotes joint comfort*

improves joint mobility*

enhances knee joint extension*

helps alleviate joint pain associated with strenuous exercise*

In addition to UC-II® collagen, Youtheory Joint Complex for Men delivers bioactive peptides derived from hydrolyzed collagen. Hydrolyzed collagen is a special type of protein that is “pre-digested” or broken down into small peptide chains for enhanced absorption into the body. Several studies have demonstrated that hydrolyzed collagen peptides are quickly absorbed after ingestion and readily deposited in the body’s tissues – where they act as building blocks for new connective tissue and may help to trigger the body’s own internal collagen production.*

There are at least 28 types of collagen, with types I, II and III comprising 80 – 90 percent of the collagen in the body. Type II is the major form of collagen found in joint cartilage.

Collagen is the single most abundant protein in humans. It is literally the “glue” that binds us together – providing the basic structural framework of the inner body (including the skin, joints, bones, blood vessels and organs). While bountiful in youth, collagen invariably breaks down and diminishes over time… leading to a myriad of unwanted side-effects (including visible changes in the skin and structural changes in the joints). Loss of collagen is believed to be a primary factor in the aging process.

Certainly. Collagen can be employed to address hair loss and enhance the strength and quality of hair. Additionally, collagen contributes to bone and joint well-being, and also aids in reducing the discomfort associated with osteoarthritis. Moreover, it has been discovered that collagen expedites recovery from sports injuries and reduces the risk of future fractures. The unique assortment of amino acids present in collagen supplements for men can aid in a swift recovery following an intense workout or a demanding workday.

Our products are manufactured in-house at our Southern California manufacturing facility. The majority of our collagen comes from farms in France, Brazil and the USA.
