Product Overview
- Type II collagen is the primary structural protein of the extracellular matrix in articular hyaline cartilage, playing a crucial role in maintaining cartilage structure and normal function.
- While the human body—specifically chondrocytes—can synthesize Type II collagen, this capacity declines significantly with skeletal maturation and aging. Furthermore, the turnover rate is extremely slow, which hampers long-term maintenance and repair.
- Consequently, Type II collagen is emerging as a key ingredient in the field of joint health supplements.
- Based on production processes and structural characteristics, our Type II collagen ingredients fall into two main categories: hydrolyzed Type II collagen and undenatured Type II collagen. These two forms operate via different mechanisms and are suited to different formulation applications.

Two major product specifications
Hydrolyzed Type II Collagen
Our hydrolyzed Type II collagen is produced from fresh chicken breast cartilage and bovine cartilage using enzymatic hydrolysis technology. It contains chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid and is suitable for use in conventional foods, dietary supplements, functional foods, foods for special medical purposes, and sports nutrition products.
