There are over 14 different types of collagen found in the body. Collagen Type II is the main structural building block of soft connective tissue and articular cartilage. BioCell Collagen II TM is derived from 100% pure Chicken Sternal Cartilage, so it is rich in Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), Chondroitin Sulfate and Hyaluronic Acid, which promotes moisture retention and elasticity of the skin and encourages healthy joints.
Collagen's Role in the Body
Collagen Type 2 protein consists of eighteen amino acids, which amino acid profiles parallel the profile of the joint cartilage. Collagen Type 1&3 and Collagen Type 2 should not be combined due the types having different amino acid profiles. If taken together, the two proteins will bind and form a complete protein and the body will not recognize it as collagen. It is recommended that if you want to take both sources of collagen protein, it should be done at least an hour apart.
