Sustafleks capsules 40 mg, 60 pcs.

The dietary supplement Sustaflex contains undenatured collagen type II (UC-II). It is an additional source of collagen, vitamin C, vitamin D₃, manganese and copper. In the daily human diet, these components are vital for the restoration of the cartilaginous surface of the joints.

In a 180-day, multicenter clinical trial involving 191 patients, it was reliably proven to reduce pain, decrease stiffness, and improve physical function of the knee joint in the group of patients taking UC-II compared to patients taking placebo or the glucosamine+chondroitin sulfate combination. Thus, UC-II was significantly found to reduce the severity of knee osteoarthritis symptoms and was well tolerated.

Type II collagen is a protein and component of articular cartilage. Type II collagen can be obtained from a variety of foods. If type II collagen is extracted from chicken breast cartilage using conventional technology, the original natural structure of the collagen will change, it will become denatured and lose its natural properties and quality. Therefore, denatured collagen is useless for the joint. A special patented technology of collagen extraction makes it possible to preserve its natural properties. The unaltered structure of collagen type II is a very important condition for the protection of a healthy joint. Only non-denatured type II collagen works in the body because it retains physiological activity.

Nondenatured collagen type II (UC-II) is a proprietary glycosylated form of collagen derived from chicken breast cartilage. In studies it showed active properties at a dose of 40 mg/day. The role of undenatured collagen type II is that it inhibits the action of T-killer cells, which attack their own collagen breakdown cells due to immune system disorders, contributing to inflammation. Intake of undenatured collagen reduces autoimmunity to the body’s own type II collagen, which leads to a decrease in inflammation in osteoarthritis and rheumatism and has a positive effect on joint health. Collagen type II with long-term use supports cartilage in the joints, provides mobility and flexibility and reduces discomfort. Clinically proven.

Vitamin C promotes better absorption of collagen.

Vitamin D₃ ensures normal bone growth and development, regulates mineral metabolism and promotes calcium deposition in bone tissue.

Manganese is involved in the synthesis of proteoglycans, which are beneficial for the formation and creation of healthy bones and cartilage.

Copper contributes to the synthesis of collagen and elastin, has anti-inflammatory properties, and participates in the process of tissue regeneration in recovery from injuries and operations.
