FAQ - BioCell Collagen II

What is BioCell Collagen II®?

BioCell Collagen II® is a 100% natural dietary ingredient. Nutritionists are calling it part of a new generation of "super ingredients". Unlike most dietary ingredients, which provide one-dimensional support, BioCell Collagen II® is actually a concentrated matrix of naturally occurring elements. Together, these elements provide multi-dimensional nutritional support that may help the body to more effectively maintain connective tissue health in crucial areas such as joints, skin and the cardiovascular system.

What are the critical nutritional elements found in BioCell Collagen II®?

Independent laboratory analysis shows that BioCell Collagen II® naturally contains Type II Collagen Proteins (60-65%), Chondroitin Sulfate (20%), Hyaluronic Acid (10%), Glucosamine and other Proteoglycans. Each of these is found throughout the body and is required for healthy connective tissue (joints, skin, cardiovascular etc.). 1500 milligrams of BioCell Collagen II® will supply the body with 900 milligrams of collagen type II protein (amino acids), 300 milligrams of Chondroitin, and 150 milligrams of Hyaluronic Acid, along with other nutritional elements such as Glucosamine.

Is BioCell Collagen II® similar to Glucosamine?

Yes, in the sense that both are involved in helping the body maintain healthy joints, but as noted above, BioCell Collagen II® is actually a concentration of many elements, including Glucosamine. If we consume only single elements involved in the complex process of keeping our joints and other connective tissue healthy, we could only expect partial effectiveness. BioCell Collagen II, with its full-spectrum of essential elements, provides broader nutritional support. This may prove more beneficial to overall joint and connective tissue health.

Who should include BioCell Collagen II® as part of a health maintenance program?

Everyone can benefit from taking BioCell Collagen II®. Diet, age, stress, digestive system and physical activity (sports which impact the joints) all affect our ability to provide the body with the nutritional raw materials it requires to properly support joint and connective tissue health. BioCell Collagen II® should be an essential nutritional component for those wanting to remain healthy and active throughout their life.

Can I combine BioCell Collagen II® with other nutritional supplements such as MSM, Chondroitin and Glucosamine?

Yes. Remember, the strength of BioCell Collagen II® is not that it supplies a large amount of one particular nutrient. Its strength is in the fact that it supplies a concentrated matrix of nutrients that may provide more broad-based nutritional support. By combining it with higher doses of more specific elements such as the ones noted above, you may actually receive greater nutritional benefits.

Is BioCell Collagen II® safe?

Yes. As stated earlier, BioCell Collagen II® is a natural dietary ingredient. It—and the elements that make up its complex structure—have a long history of use and safety as dietary ingredients. An independent toxicity study also showed BioCell Collagen II® to be safe, even at extremely high dosages.
