Primary

Supports articular-cartilage matrix

Articular-cartilage matrix is scaffolded by type II collagen; hydrolyzed chicken-sternum cartilage powder cuts this type into absorbable short peptides. People whose knees feel tight under load or on stairs more often see changes on joint-motion scales after several continuous weeks.

Primary

Improve comfortable joint motion

Hydrolyzed type II collagen carries both cartilage polysaccharide residues and collagen peptides, giving chondrocytes repair feedstock. For people who stand long or flex and extend repeatedly, what is felt usually sits on range of motion and morning stiffness, and becomes clearer only after continuous use.
