What is Hydrolyzed Collagen Type II?
Hydrolyzed Collagen Type II naturally sourced from Avian Chicken Sternum Cartilage. Through innovative technology the delicate chicken sternum cartilage must be hydrolyzed to a smaller Dalton weight for human consumption. Following the hydrolysis process, the finished raw material will be tested through high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). For those of you that aren’t familiar with the terminology, it discerns real raw material properties that are intact (not altered) as opposed to fake (inferior) raw material.

Eggshell membrane contains about 100 parts of Type I collagen to 1 part Type V collagen and contains the rare Type X collagen. Type I collagen is very important in bone and skin development and maintenance, Type V collagen is required for assimilation of Type I, while Type X collagen protects the embryo and other important tissues.

Collagen protein is an important nutrient to help fight osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and is required for the proper functioning of eyes, connective tissues, bone growth and mineralization, and increases skin elasticity and skin tone. Eggshell membrane is rich in macro-minerals such as calcium and sulfur which are important for the support and maintenance of the muscular and skeletal structure of the mammalian body.
