ArtiFlex, from Vitobest®, contains UC-II® hydrolyzed collagen (Lonza). What makes UC-II® collagen so effective? Resists hydrolysis in the intestine, improving absorption. Intestinal hydrolysis (part of the digestion process) normally eliminates much of the classic collagen, absorbing only a tiny part.
Lonza's UC-II® has a unique mechanism of action that directly stimulates collagen production by chondrocytes, which are the cells of cartilage tissue responsible for tissue maintenance and collagen production. Why is type collagen so important? II in the body? Type II collagen is the main component of cartilage tissues. Articular cartilage is a highly specialized tissue that covers the bony surfaces that form part of the joints. It is responsible for protecting the bones of the joints and facilitating movement.
Articular cartilage does not have blood vessels, is nourished by synovial fluid superficially and bone deeply for nutrition, and has little capacity to regenerate. Chondrocytes, the only cellular element of cartilage, are responsible for the synthesis and maintenance of the extracellular matrix, composed of 80% water and 0% solid matter, whose main components are type II collagen and proteoglycans. That is why the contribution of external collagen such as UC-II® is vital to help recover cartilage.
