1. Type II collagen description
Collagen type II (CII) is a component of the human joint cartilage. A variant of this compound is very common and is available on the market as shark jelly. Due to its flexibility and high stretch tolerance, it occurs within the anatomical tendons and is one of the basic building blocks of the skin.2. Function and use
In the human body, it is responsible for the stabilization of the internal organs in the proper position and is also one of the protective elements. It is also worth discussing its activity within the immune system. It prevents the development of pathogenic bacteria, cancer cells and toxic compounds. Unfortunately, despite its good absorption from the digestive system, it has a low concentration of amino acids and is devoid of L-cysteine.3. Supplementation with collagen
Collagen in hydrolyzed form should be taken at a daily dose of about 10 g for skin health and some joint problems. It can be taken both before and during meals. It is important to know that collagen should not be used as a protein substitute due to its lower efficacy and poor amino acid profile.
