What studies found
One small, industry-funded trial gave 40 mg a day of undenatured type II collagen to healthy adults with joint discomfort during exercise. Our guide calls this research early but promising.
How much is in our products
| Product | Amount |
|---|---|
| Joint Health | 40 mg per capsule, as listed on the label (3% type II collagen; 10 mg total collagen) |
In studies: 40 mg a day of undenatured type II collagen in one trial of healthy adults.
Our 40 mg matches the amount used in that trial. Results from one small trial may not apply to every product.
Who should take care
Collagen is animal-derived, so Joint Health isn't vegetarian. Ask your doctor first if you're allergic to chicken, eggs or other animal products.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting a supplement if you take any medicine, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a health condition.
