Mechanism of Action
Undenatured Type II Collagen has unique mechanism of action.
Undenatured Type II Collagen molecules contain active binding sites called epitopes which trigger the process of oral tolerization. Through oral tolerization
process, active epitopes of Undenatured Type II Collagen interact with Peyer's patches (lymphoid tissue) of small intestine to release collagen-specific requlatory T-cells. Collagen-speci c regulatory T-cells then migrate tojoint areas and prevent release of T-cells.
Preventing the release of T-cells prevent the secretion of collagenase enzymes by macrophages responsible for breakdown of collagen in joint
cartilage. It also slows the production of in ammatory cytokines resulting in reduction of in ammation, halting the erosion of joint cartilage and promote
cartilage rebuilding.
