UC-II® undenatured type II collagen delivers proven joint health benefits for companion animals

Looking to formulate breakthrough joint health supplements for the pet and companion animal market? UC-II® undenatured type II collagen is scientifically proven to help maintain or support joint flexibility and mobility in companion animals. One small daily dose of 40mg has been shown to mitigate exercise-induced pain, inflammation, and cartilage degeneration in healthy dogs.¹ Plus, when compared to placebo, it increases overall physical activity and helps dogs to run faster.²

Our proprietary manufacturing process enables a unique mechanism of action that triggers the animal’s immune system to help support the body’s natural cartilage repair process.* UC-II® undenatured type II collagen can therefore help brands differentiate in an increasingly crowded pet supplements market.

*Animal studies suggest that the likely mechanism of action of UC-II® promotes natural inflammatory response while helping to support cartilage regeneration.
