Diet / Allergen fit

Manufactured in a facility that processes fish extracts.

UC-II standardised cartilage (type II collagen)

Undenatured type II collagen interacts with gut-associated lymphoid tissue and may help the immune system develop tolerance to joint collagen, supporting joint comfort and mobility.

Caution: Contains material derived from cartilage; avoid if you have known sensitivities to collagen sources or follow specific dietary restrictions.

Collagen peptides (total collagen)

Collagen peptides provide amino acids such as glycine and proline that are incorporated into joint tissues and may support cartilage structure.

Caution: May not suit people avoiding animal-derived products; take with adequate protein and fluids for general tolerance.

Boswellia serrata extract

Boswellic acids are studied for modulating 5-lipoxygenase pathways, which may help maintain a balanced inflammatory response in joints.

Caution: May interact with certain medications; stop use if gastrointestinal discomfort occurs.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) extract

Curcuminoids act as antioxidants and may influence inflammatory signalling pathways related to joint comfort.

Caution: Can stain and may cause mild stomach upset; consider taking with food to improve tolerance.

Ginger root extract

Gingerols and shogaols may modulate prostaglandin and leukotriene pathways, supporting a balanced inflammatory response.

Caution: May have mild blood-thinning effects; use caution alongside anticoagulant or antiplatelet products.

How they work together

Type II collagen focuses on immune-mediated tolerance to joint collagen, while collagen peptides supply structural amino acids for cartilage. The botanical extracts offer antioxidant and inflammation-modulating actions from different pathways, complementing the collagen-focused approach.

Label Warning: Consult a doctor before use if you take medication or have a medical condition. Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Do not exceed the recommended daily amount. Not for those under 18 years of age.

Who should be cautious: People with known allergies to fish should use caution as the product is made in a facility that processes fish extracts. Those with gallstones, bile duct issues, or on anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines may need caution with turmeric and ginger. People with inflammatory or autoimmune conditions should consider discussing undenatured type II collagen with a healthcare provider. If you use medications that may interact with ingredients in this product, it is generally advised to consult your healthcare provider before combining.
