With age, collagen production decreases. Per decade we lose approximately 6% of Collagen and after the age of 30, this loss increases to 1% per year. Thus, wrinkles appear as the skin's support weakens. But other organic structures are being affected such as the joints, of which Collagen is also a part, especially type II Collagen that is found in this formulation. Cartilage is one of the primary connective tissues of the body, ensuring flexibility and support to bone joints. One of the main cartilage-related diseases is Osteoarthritis, which affects the joints, causing inflammation. Type II Collagen participates, together with the Immune System, in the maintenance of healthy joints, helping with joint mobility and flexibility. UC-II® is manufactured through a patented, non-enzymatic process, at low temperatures, ensuring the obtaining of a pure collagen, with unchanged biological activity, allowing the protein not to denature, that is, not to lose its molecular structure. A denatured protein loses its biological action and no longer has the beneficial effects that it would have in its undenatured form. It is the only supplement of this type available in doses of 40 mg, once daily. Morphologically, type II collagen is quite similar to type I, which is the most abundant in the skin. This means that by supplementing UC-II®, a protein is provided that can serve both for the maintenance of cartilage and skin, since depletion affects both tissues over time. This supplement also contains Aquamin® TG, a natural derivative of seaweed, composed of Calcium and Magnesium. It is a natural mineral source with diverse organoleptic properties and a unique mineral profile, which makes it ideal for mineral enrichment and supplementation. Scientific studies prove the effectiveness of Aquamin® in building bone mass and refer to its importance in the prevention of osteoarticular diseases. Thus, UC-II® can be a complementary option for Perimenopausal and Menopause Women who are looking to help maintain the appearance of their skin and help prevent osteopenia due to estrogenic descent.
