About this supplement
Undenatured Type II Collagen is a specific form of collagen that is derived from chicken sternum cartilage. It is known for its ability to support joint health and is often used in dietary supplements aimed at improving joint function and reducing symptoms of osteoarthritis. Unlike denatured collagen, which is processed at high temperatures, undenatured collagen retains its natural structure, which is believed to enhance its bioactivity and efficacy in the body.
