Outstanding Product
I have been purchasing this product from The Vitamin Shoppe (TVS) for several months now and I love that I can place an order online and pick it up in the store the very next day. The product was hard to find at a regular store but the price, quality and availability at TVS is outstanding. I highly recommend shopping for all your vitamin and supplements at the TVS.

Something has changed
I have been using this UCII for 2 years, but the last 2 bottles have not worked at all. Even the capsule has changed. I'm not sure that there is the same formula in these capsules.

UC11
I have arthritis and was having lots of pain in my knees. 4 yrs ago a Dr. recommended that I should take a combination of one UC11 and one fish-oil capsule every night at bedtime. I am 78yrs old and go up and down stairs daily. I rarely have pain in my joits now. I've told friends about it and they have had good results also. "Try it! Your joints will love you if you do.

A Key to My Healing
In my struggle with rheumatoid arthritis for the past 16 years, I've wanted to decrease my medication if possible. Although diet alterations have helped, UC-II has given me wonderful results! I have, in fact, been able to decrease the anti-inflammatory drug by 75%. I feel better and have less pain when I take UC-II regularly. This product is a real blessing!!

Thank you guys so much for clarifying that!
I have one more question: the VitaminShoppe brand says that it contains 10mg of “Undenatured Type II Collagen (from chicken sternum cartilage)”, but most other brands claim they contain 40mg of UC-II, which looks like 4x as much! However, I also noticed that SOME of those ‘40mg’ brands say it’s “40mg of Undenatured Chicken Cartilage, containing 25% UC-II” so in essence those particular brands only contain 10mg of the active ingredient UC-II (as 25% of 40mg = 10mg). But other brands simply say they contain 40mg of UC-II, without further explanation...
What is the deal with this discrepancy in labeling, and how much of the active ingredient UC-II IS actually in these brands ? Do some really contain 4 times as much UC-II, or are they all the same and the way they seem to use the terms "Undenatured Type II Collagen", "Chicken Sternum Cartilage" and "UC-II" is misleading the consumer ?
A shopper

Best Answer:  The products are equal in strength. I don't think the labeling is intended to be misleading. You see this on herbal extracts as well. Remember to take your UCII on an empty stomach with plenty of water. I do it in the middle of the night when I am up to the bathroom. Stomach acid will destroy it. So empty stomach, lots of water! Works great for over all aches and pains.

I currently take Naproxen 500mg tablets for OA.

1 tablet twice a day. Is it safe to take UC-11 or will it cause a problem?
ronald m.

Best Answer:  show ingredients to your Dr and get Dr opinion - it's just chicken cartilage and w/in 3 months of consistently taking UC-II, you might be able to reduce or eliminate the Naproxen

Linda T
Are these capsules supposed to be dark YELLOW ?
A shopper

Best Answer:  yes, dark YELLOW
and this Vitamin Shoppe formula worked far better than Vitacost's version

Linda T
Can it be taken with food? Why on empty stomach?
Kimberly B

Best Answer:  Hello, I wish I knew the answer to that question. Even though I have taken this vitamin for years, I have always taken it as directed, on an empty stomach.

Anne T
This was recommended to me for my cat. Can it be given to cats?
Kathy M

Best Answer:  My cat had spinal arthritis and was on gabapentin. I wanted to start him on this. The vet did not want to ( probably because she was selling the gabapentin) but she finally consented. After 2 months on the 1 capsule per day, I took him off the gabapentin and he was fine

Stuart B
Any pork derivatives in the ingredi??
A shopper

Best Answer:  I cannot determine the answer to your question from the product's label.

However, one of the questions on the Vitamin Shoppe's website, relative to the product, is as follows:
"May I know the source of the collagen?
Laavanya DDec 29, 2023
Best Answer: Collagen in this supplement is sourced from chicken.
Daniel W. staff - Jan 2, 2024 - Reply: Inaccurate"

Further, a reply to my Google inquiry about whether there are pork derivatives in the product states "The UC-II collagen from The Vitamin Shoppe does not contain pork ingredients. It is derived from chicken sternum cartilage, which is a plant-based source of collagen".

My guess is that the Google response is based on the Staff response on the Vitamin Shoppe website. Therefore, it is unclear whether or not there are pork derivatives in the ingredients.

Audrey L C
Is this UC II capsule hydrolized collagen II?
A shopper

Best Answer:  The label doesn’t say it, so I’ll say no.
