Type Ⅱ Collagen /Type 2 Collagen Powder

Type II collagen is a high-molecular protein, with its filamentous collagen fibers intertwining with elastin and glycoproteins to form a mesh-like structure, thus providing tissues with mechanical strength. There are many types of collagen, and dozens have been identified. Among them:

● Type I and Type III collagen: Primarily found in connective tissues such as the skin and blood vessels;

● Type II collagen: Mainly produced by chondrocytes, and is predominantly found in tissues such as bones, joints, and tendons;

● Type VII collagen: Mainly found in the uterus and placenta.

Type II collagen is the main component of cartilage tissue, accounting for more than 50% of the dry weight of cartilage. Type II collagen peptides are small molecular peptide segments obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis or other methods, making them easier for the body to absorb and utilize.

● Supports Joint Health: Type II collagen peptides help repair damaged cartilage, improve joint flexibility, and alleviate pain.

● Improves Bone Density: Studies have shown that Type II collagen peptides promote the synthesis of bone cells, helping to increase bone density.

● Anti-inflammatory Effects: Type II collagen peptides have anti-inflammatory properties, which can reduce inflammation in patients with arthritis.

● Enhances Bone Strength: Type II collagen, the most abundant protein in the human body, combines with calcium to form hydroxyapatite crystals, enhancing bone strength and helping to prevent and treat osteoporosis.

● Lubricates Joints: Type II collagen contains a large amount of water and glycosaminoglycans, which lubricate joints, reduce friction and wear, and relieve symptoms of arthritis.

● Maintains Ligament Flexibility: Type II collagen helps maintain the elasticity and tightness of ligaments, preventing joint laxity and bone deformity.

● Promotes Bone and Joint Metabolism: It promotes blood circulation in the soft tissues around bones and joints, aiding in cartilage repair and regeneration, alleviating symptoms such as pain and limited movement in joints.

● Promotes Bone Growth: Type II collagen is essential for bone growth. A deficiency may lead to bone developmental disorders, short stature, or skeletal deformities. Proper supplementation helps support healthy bone growth.
