"Unknown components of articular cartilage" (Table 1)

Collagen is an important substance and protein that makes up the body, accounting for approximately 30% of all proteins.
Until now, the most common types of collagen were type I collagen, marine collagen, and plant-based collagen, which were used in cosmetics and beauty and health foods.

Marine collagen, derived from fish such as salmon and sharks, and plant collagen, derived from plants, differ in many ways from animal collagen, derived from land animals (humans, chickens, pigs, cows, etc.), in terms of distribution, properties, structure (denaturation temperature, three-dimensional structure), and amino acid sequence (composition), making it difficult to classify collagen into the same wide variety as land animals.

Furthermore, there are various types of collagen in terrestrial animals, which are classified into more than 20 types based on their distribution and properties within the body.
One of these collagens, type II collagen, is found in abundance in articular cartilage, which exists between bones.

In addition, the components of articular cartilage in terrestrial animals are 60-80% water, 15-20% undenatured type II collagen, and 3-5% proteoglycans (aggregates formed by glucosamine, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, etc.).

However, it is not widely known that the main component of articular cartilage, excluding water, is undenatured type II collagen, and not glucosamine or hyaluronic acid.

"Highly effective and fast-acting, yet with a small dosage, it's easy to continue using undenatured type II collagen."

To date, commercially available joint care ingredients include glucosamine, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, and MSM, but the problem has been that the recommended daily intake (around 1-1.5g, or about 10-15 tablets in supplement form) is extremely high.
The recommended intake of UC-II® is a small amount of 40 mg per day, making it easy to continue taking.

Undenatured type II collagen is a functional ingredient that is attracting attention as the main component of articular cartilage, and it may be worth trying for those who have not been satisfied with glucosamine or chondroitin in the past.
