Undenatured collagen type II may alleviate osteoarthritis symptoms by reducing inflammation and pain in joints. It potentially works by modulating the immune response in the gut.
Undenatured collagen type II is believed to work by modulating the immune system's response to cartilage, reducing inflammation and pain associated with osteoarthritis. Unlike hydrolyzed collagen, undenatured collagen preserves its triple helix structure, allowing it to interact with the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) and potentially decrease the autoimmune response that contributes to cartilage breakdown. This may lead to reduced pain and stiffness, improving joint function in some individuals.
