Common questions
How is UC-II different from ordinary collagen powders?+
UC-II is undenatured (native) type II collagen derived from chicken sternum cartilage — the principal structural protein in cartilage, responsible for its tensile strength and toughness. Rather than acting as a bulk protein source, this unique form works with the immune system to support healthy joints, which is why the serving is a single small capsule of 40 mg.
How do I take NOW UC-II Type II Collagen?+
Take 1 capsule daily at bedtime on an empty stomach. It is for adults only — consult your physician if you are pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, and keep it out of reach of children.
Is UC-II vegetarian, and does it contain common allergens?+
No — it is derived from chicken sternum cartilage, so it is not vegetarian. It is not manufactured with yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nut or sesame ingredients, though it is produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens.
What else is in the capsule besides collagen?+
Each capsule also provides 80 mg of calcium from Aquamin, a seaweed-derived mineral ingredient, alongside the 40 mg of UC-II standardized chicken cartilage. The capsule itself is hypromellose (a cellulose capsule). Natural colour variation may occur in this product.
Product details
- With Undenatured Type II Collagen

Cartilage is one of the primary connective tissues of the body, providing flexibility and support to joints. Undenatured type II collagen is the principal structural protein in cartilage that is responsible for its tensile strength and toughness.* Derived from chicken sternum cartilage, the UC-II® ingredient is a unique form of collagen with undenatured (native) type II collagen that works with the immune system to support healthy joints.* Human clinical studies have found that supplementing with just one 40 mg capsule of UC-II® per day can help to promote joint comfort, as well as healthy joint function and flexibility.*
