Undenatured Type Il Collagen

Short Description:

Type Il collagen powder is is a protein powder compound which contains native collagen type Il and other nutrtional substances such as chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine and hyaluronic. Due to the high content of collagen type Il, the extract is also known as collagen type Il powder. It is also called undenatured collagen powder or native collagen type Il because the collagen type Il in the chicken sternum extact is native and undenatured.

What extactly is that undenatured type Il collagen ? Actually, chicken sternum contains abundant type Il collagen which is of course native and undenatured in the chicken sternum before extration. But how to extract and stablize that collagen type Il is a challenge. The protein of the collagen will lost its activity when it is heated or boiled.

What is the differences between hydrolyzed collagen and undenatured type Il collagen ?

Molecular structure differences :

Generally speaking, the molecular structure of hydrolyzed collagen is destroyed while the undenatured type Il collagen keeps in a triple helix molecular structure. Hydrolyzed collagen is the collagen peptides consisted of short chains of amino acids. The three long chains of amino acids are cut into short amino acid chains. But the molecular structure of undenatured collagen type Il is original triple helix structure, the three long chais of amino acids are not broken.

Function differences:

The function of Hydrolyzed collagen mainly comes from amino acids nutrition values. The hydrolyzed collagen contains Hydroxyproline and glycine. Hydroxyproline works as a transportation tool to carry the calcium and phosphorus into cells of bones to form the bones.

However, the undenatured collagen type Il contains other important substances such as chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine and hyaluronic acid. It functions much better than hydrolyzed collagen.

How does undenatured collagen type Il work for the Joint health ?

1. The undenatured collagen retains the natural triple helix structure in the body while the denatured collagen lost its original triple helix structure. The triple helix structure possesses a part of the antigenic factors which make the collagen capable of antigen -antibody binding. The pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis is that the body will produce some antibodies against autoantigens, which is known as autoimmune intolerance. The latest research shows that long-term use of undenatured collagen type Il will induce the body's to consider type Il protein as a self-antigen, which will prevent the generation of autoantibody. In this way, it will slow down the disorders of rheumatoid arthritis.

2. The undenatured collagen type Il contains abundant mucopolysaccharides such as chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine, and hyaluronic acid. These ingredients are considered as the building blocks for the joint cartilages. Taking undenatured collagen type Il helps to promote the repairing of damaged cartilages and lubricate the joints.

3. The undenatured collagen type Il contains more hydroxyproline than normal collagen. The Hydroxyproline is able to promote calcium and phosphorus and other minerals to form bone. Taking collagen type Il helps to generate more bone cells to form bone.
