NOW Foods UC-II Advanced Joint Relief Vegicaps 60 Vegicaps

NOW Foods’ UC-II Advanced Joint Relief Veg Capsules is a dietary supplement designed to support joint health and mobility. The formula centres on UC-II, undenatured type II collagen, which is positioned as the key collagen ingredient for helping the body access cartilage-supporting building blocks. NOW Foods adds complementary ingredients to round out the approach, including hyaluronic acid plus boron and vitamin D-3.

On NOW Foods’ product information, the capsules are suggested for adults to take at bedtime (on an empty stomach on the brand’s US listing). The brand also highlights that UC-II is backed by human clinical studies showing benefits for joint function, flexibility and comfort when taken at a daily dose of 40 mg.

Notable ingredients (from NOW Foods’ label information) include UC-II standardised chicken cartilage (40 mg per capsule, containing undenatured type II collagen), hyaluronic acid (from sodium hyaluronate), boron (as bororganic glycine/Albion) and vitamin D-3, with Aquamin (seaweed-derived minerals) also included. Non-medicinal capsule ingredients listed include microcrystalline cellulose, hypromellose (cellulose capsule), stearic acid (vegetable source) and silicon dioxide.
