Are you looking for a Type II collagen capsule? NOW Foods UC-II contains 40 mg of standardized chicken cartilage with undenatured Type II collagen per capsule. While many collagen powders focus on Type I, this product specifically targets Type II collagen. One jar contains 60 capsules, which is 60 days' worth at 1 per day.
Each capsule contains 40 mg of standardized UC-II chicken cartilage, providing 10 mg of total collagen, including undenatured Type II collagen. Undenatured means that the collagen has not been processed into a standard collagen hydrolysate, as is the case with many powders. This way, you know precisely what you are getting per capsule.
In addition to Type II collagen, the formula contains Aquamin, a mineral complex derived from red algae (Lithothamnion spp.), providing 80 mg of calcium per capsule. The capsule itself is vegetable (hypromellose), but the UC-II ingredient comes from chicken cartilage. Therefore, the product is not vegetarian or vegan.
The recommended use is to take 1 capsule daily before bedtime, preferably on an empty stomach. One jar contains 60 capsules. The product is manufactured according to GMP standards with clear allergen information. For this type of ingredient, no approved European health claims are available; therefore, this page deliberately contains no claims of function.

For this product, the recommendation is to take 1 capsule before bedtime, preferably on an empty stomach.
