Neocell  Collagen Type II (Kolla 2 Immucell) - 120 caps

WHAT IS COLLAGEN?
The word “collagen” is derived from kolla, the Greek word for glue.  Collagen is the primary protein in the body. There are many types of collagen protein throughout the body and, the most widely researched types of collagen are Type I, II, and III. Types I & III are the major components of skin, hair, nails, muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, gums, teeth, eyes, and blood vessels. Type II is the major component of joint cartilage.

WHAT IS KOLLA2®?
Kolla2® is Un-Hydrolyzed Collagen Type II powder or liquid concentrate. Kolla2® is a new food supplement that provides all necessary nutrients to promote healthy joint cartilage and to repair the damage that causes the pain and swelling associated with arthritis diseases. It contains 50-55% Collagen Type II and naturally contains 45-50% carbohydrates (chondroitin, glucosamine & hyaluronic acid), the major components of joint cartilage.

HOW DOES AGING AFFECT COLLAGEN IN THE BODY?

Aging affects the body’s collagen in two ways:

a)             As we age, the body’s ability to make collagen protein slows down so there is insufficient new collagen to make skin, joints and other parts of the body

b)             Collagen fibers lose their moist texture and become rigid. Much of this damage is caused by free radicals: unstable molecules created when the body uses oxygen.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COLLAGEN TYPES?

COLLAGEN TYPE: I & III:

Scientific studies show that more than 90% of the collagen found in the body is Collagen Type I & III.  The protein composition consists of nineteen amino acids responsible for growth, maintenance and repair of the body with unusually high proportions of the amino acids glycine and proline, as well as hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine. All are found in skin and muscle.

COLLAGEN TYPE: II
Collagen Type II is the major component of articular joint cartilage.  The protein content is between 50% to 55% (less than Type I and III) and naturally occurring mucopolysaccharides (carbohydrates) 45% to 50 %. The mucopolysaccharides consists of Glucosamine(15-17%), Chondroitin(14-16%), and Hyaluronic Acid (16-17%), the makeup of synovial fluid and sugar aminos required to make collagen type II cells.

The composition of   Type II Collagen protein consists of eighteen amino acids.  The percentage and molecular weight of each amino acid is different than those found in Type I & III.  In addition, Type II is low in hydroxyproline and trace of hydroxylysine, the primary difference in comparison with Type I and III gearing type II to address cartilage tissue properties

One of every 3 people over the age of 60 suffers from Osteoarthritis.  It is a natural wear and tear of our joint cartilage.  As we age, the body’s ability to make the protein Type II Collagen slows down. This is the protein needed to maintain and rebuild cartilage tissues

HOW DOES Kolla2®  WORK?

Kolla2® is taken orally as a dietary supplement working naturally within the body as a food source that is bio-available, meaning it is a ready source of nutrition. It is substantially more effective than just the supplementation of the carbohydrates Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Kolla2® naturally supplies all the nutrients necessary to rebuild cartilage.

Kolla2® is processed using patent pending low-temperature manufacturing to maintain its natural low molecular weight structure. The long chain of amino acids is left intact ensuring the body’s own superior natural enzymes recognize the precise genetic code for maximum assimilation for ultimate joint health. It is safe, effective and classified as a food.  All manufacturing processes are under the strictest quality control to meet USDA approval.

HYDROLYZED VS. UNHYDROLYZED

Hydrolyzed collagen protein is pre-digested outside the body breaking down the amino acid chain by a process of adding synthesized enzymes.  Then it is spray-dried into powder using very high temperatures .This is effective for collagen type I & III to make it more absorbable, such as in Collagen+CÔ supplements. Un-Hydrolyzed Kolla2® uses a low temperature process that ensures biological activity for maximum results. When collagen type II protein is exposed to high temperature, the delicate hyaluronic acid and amino acid molecules present, become less effective as most of the lipid molecules are washed away by the hydrolysis process

WHO NEEDS Kolla2®?

One of every three people over the age of 60 suffers from Osteoarthritis. It is  natural wear and tear of our joint cartilage, even active younger adults suffer from joint damage.  As we age, the body’s ability to make the protein Type II Collagen slows down.  This is the protein needed to maintain and rebuild cartilage tissue. Kolla2® is a nutritional dietary supplement that supplies all necessary elements to help the body to support joint health. The rising number of baby boomers will be more than 60 million in the 21st century.  The demand for arthritis prevention will surpass the demand for treatment.  A daily supplement of Kolla2® is the natural answer.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease whereby the body’s own immune system mistakenly attacks healthy joint cartilage cells causing joint deformity and painful conditions.Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease due to the wear and tear of joint cartilage.  The damaged joint inflames causing a painful condition. Kolla2® contains natural nutrients to supply the body with all the ingredients required to make collagen Type II protein and support the joints.

UNDENATURED VS. DENATURED COLLAGEN TYPE II

Un-denatured collagen Type II is purified without removing the native collagen or changing its original large molecules. Un-denatured collagen is recognized in the small intestine turning off the signal that creates the attack on the body’s cartilage. Kolla2®’s exclusive low temperature process lowers the molecular weight for assimilation and is recognized as the building blocks for damaged cartilage.

CLINICAL RESEARCH Kolla2® is currently the subject of a major clinical trial overseen by medical professionals to evaluate its long-term efficacy for Osteoarthritis and other joint diseases. Preliminary results are so far positive
The rising number of baby boomers will be in excess of 140 million in the 21st century. The demand for arthritis prevention will surpass the demand for treatment. A daily supplement of Kolla2® is the natural answer.
