Jointace Collagen tablets provide a comprehensive formula of 13 nutrients specifically designed for those who wish to maintain joint health with particular focus on cartilage health through the added benefits of collagen. Collagen is a key structural protein in the connective tissues of the body including cartilage, bones, tendons, ligaments & skin. Type II collagen makes up 90% of the collagen found in articular cartilage. This differs from other types of collagen as it has higher levels of hydroxylysine. The ability of the chondrocytes (cells found in cartilage that produce & maintain the cartilage matrix) to produce type II collagen is largely dependant on having the right amino acids e.g. hydroxylysine available in the diet to build the protein chain. The high-grade type II collagen complex used in Jointace ® has been specially designed to improve absorption. The combination of collagen, glucosamine & chondroitin is designed to help maintain cartilage & joint health, & gives unbeatable value by providing more than just glucosamine sulphate alone.
