Healthy Origins UC-II 40 mg (Undenatured Type II Collagen, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Joint Support), 120 Veggie Caps

The directions suggest taking this before bed at night; I know that collagen supplements in any form (tablet, capsule, liquid) tend to do best on an empty stomach and away from eating, so that the digestion juices in one's stomach don't deactivate its "super powers."This particular type of collagen UC-II, has some interesting clinical research behind it for joint health; as a former and intense athlete, this really means something to me. I am still quite active and have changed many aspects of my lifestyle, most especially my diet (WFPB) and am in better shape and with more balanced, targeted strength than in the previous decade! So, yes, this supplement is part of a lifestyle and is NOT a silver bullet fix-it-all-with-a-pill sort of "answer."That being said, I think it can be a very helpful addition/input to your health and strength routine. Also, this specific brand is consistently accurate with all of its offerings when it comes to labeling and quality. This brand's UC-II, which is what I'm reviewing here, was selected as a "Top Pick" by an independent testing lab and has maintained that distinction for some time now. I believe that it has helped my joints tremendously over the past four or five years of taking it every night. To be honest, there is no cloned-me to compare (as if I had a reference for NOT taking it) but given the aftermath pain I used to have, and the trouble with working out or exercising or recreating at a certain intensity in past years... I truly think this has helped a ton.As long as they continue making it? I'm taking it.

Arrived as indicated by Amazon. The person I purchased the item for, said that she could tell the difference immediately. The supplement reduced her joint stiffness and pain.

Great product! Love it!

Collagen 2 type is specific for joints and as we are in 60's we started taking for sore knees among other things. I didn't know that there were 3 types of collagen and was best to take something that contained all 3 types. I read more about the specific types and decided to specifically target this type. These are easy to swallow and yay! only x1 a day. Find it economical!

Excelente producto y poco a poco se van octeniendo buenos resultados en la salud de la movilidad.

I trust this manufacturer.

The Healthy Origins UC-II, 40 mg - Premium Collagen Supplement helped my joint movement and my overall mobility. However, bc it is derived from cows, it upset my stomach - I am a vegetarian.

As above. Great joint supplement, the whole family takes, including the dog! One of a few things I wholeheartedly recommend. Thanks for the great service!
