Hydrolyzed type II collagen is simply native collagen that’s been broken down (via enzymatic hydrolysis) into peptides which are highly digestible and bioavailable proteins, Hydrolyzed type II collagen is produced from animal cartilage, a safe and natural source. Because it comes from cartilage, it naturally contains a matrix of type II collagen and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Our Hydrolyzed Collagen Type II is extracted from chicken sternum cartilage by the method of enzymatic hydrolysis,naturally occurring chondroition sulfate and hyaluronic acid.it’s also named as Collagen Type II,Type II Collagen, Chicken Collagen Type II.
