Super Collagen Matrix (Type II)
Brand: R & D Pharmaceutical
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The primary active ingredient, Hydrolyzed Type II Collagen, functions at the cellular level to support immune tolerance and cartilage repair. Unlike Type I, Type II is the main structural protein in joint cartilage. Hydrolysis breaks the protein into low molecular weight peptides, ensuring rapid absorption in the gut. These peptides travel to joint tissues, stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen and proteoglycans. This process helps maintain cartilage elasticity and reduces inflammatory markers associated with joint degradation, promoting better mobility and structural integrity.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports joint flexibility and range of motion
- Promotes cartilage repair and maintenance
- Helps reduce joint discomfort and stiffness
- Enhances connective tissue strength
Usage & Safety
The recommended dosage is 1 capsule daily. For optimal absorption, take the capsule on an empty stomach, preferably 30 minutes before a meal or 2 hours after. Consistency is key; results may take 4-8 weeks to manifest. This supplement is generally safe and does not contain common allergens, but consult a healthcare provider if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication for joint conditions.
