Long awaited, and much anticipated, Roex’s Chicken Sternal Collagen Type II is here! Collagen Type II, as that found in Roex’s Chicken Sternal Collagen Type II, has significant biological similarities to that found in human cartilage. Type II collagen is naturally rich in amino acids, glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid (HA)–the products that many turn to when suffering with joint pain.
Roex’s Chicken Sternal Collagen Type II stands alone when it comes to providing a pure and efficacious formulation. Each daily serving provides:
1000 mg Unhydrolyzed Chicken Sternal Collagen Type II
1000 mg Chondroitin Sulfate A (CSA)
10 mg Hyaluronic Acid
The Chondroitin Sulfate A and Hyaluronic Acid are in addition to that naturally found in the chemical makeup of collagen type II. Chondroitin Sulfate A is a natural substance that supports the body by minimizing the enzymatic action that degrades the building blocks of joint cartilage. Hyaluronic Acid, or HA, is an essential compound for maintaining skin, joint and eye health, composed of N-Acetylglucosamine and Beta Glucoronic Acid. It is found in every tissue of the body and concentrated mainly in the synovial fluid. Its function is to lubricate and absorb shock in the joint. Realizing the joint health benefits that both Chondroitin Sulfate A and Hyaluronic Acid offer, Roex included additional amounts within the formula.
UNHYDROLYZED, LOW-HEAT DENATURED CHICKEN COLLAGEN TYPE II?
When supplementing with Type II Collagen, the options vary from hydrolyzed or unhydrolyzed; denatured or undenatured; and chicken or bovine forms. Roex chose to use unhydrolyzed, low-heat denatured, chicken collagen in the formula.
• Hydrolysis refers to a chemical reaction that occurs resulting in the formation of one or more new compounds. Thus, hydrolyzed collagen is a modified form of collagen.
• Undenatured collagen is in a raw state and, therefore, requires manufacturers to soak it in a bath of hydrogen peroxide, process it, and then sterilize it. The FDA states that dosages in excess of 10mg of undenatured collagen cannot be sold in a supplement form due to the affects it can have on the auto-immune system.
• High-heat denatured- unlike Roex’s, the majority of collagen is denatured using a high-heat process. The heat can result in a loss of structure. The triple helix DNA strand unwinds and the chains separate. When this denatured mass of tangled chains cools down, it soaks up the surrounding water like a sponge, forming gelatin.
• Bovine Collagen Type II is sourced from bovine trachea and, although similar in biological makeup, has yielded limited benefits in many comparative studies.
Roex formulated its Chicken Sternal Collagen Type II to provide the maximum level of nutritional support required by the body to properly maintain ongoing joint health. Roex opted to use chicken collagen vs bovine collagen because the studies to date (preliminary studies on osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis) show a greater consistency of positive results than similar studies using bovine Type II. Furthermore, the Chicken Sternal Collagen Type II selected by Roex has a protein content of collagen between 55-65% polypeptides and 35-45% mucopolysaccarides. These consist of: 15-17% Glucosamine, 14-16% Chondroitin and 16-17% Hyaluronic Acid! These levels would be near impossible to duplicate in other Type II sources.
The choice to use unhydrolyzed, low-heat denatured collagen was also clear. The Type II used in Roex’s formula is dried for an extended time, under low temperature. This process ensures the products safety while maintaining its natural molecular weight structure, the integrity of its delicate molecules. Unlike undenatured or high-heat denaturing, Roex’s Chicken Sternal Collagen Type II is not treated with hydrogen peroxide, acids, bases or enzymes to alter its structure or break down its molecules. This process keeps the long chains of ami |
