UC-II Improved Knee Joint Symptoms In Knee Arthritis Subjects To A Far Greater Degree When Compared To Placebo And Glucosamine & Chondroitin.

Introduction

Osteoarthritis, which entails the destruction of joint cartilage and remodeling of the adjacent bone, is the most common form of arthritis affecting more than 25 million Americans. Current therapies for OA include various over the counter analgesics, a number of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), intra-articular injections of corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid, plus tramadol and other opioid analgesics to relieve severe pain. While these therapies can alleviate symptoms in the near term, their ultimate impact on the pathophysiologic progression of OA is limited.

Previous studies reported UC-II to be efficacious for the treatment of arthritis. More recently, a statistically significant improvement in knee joint function over placebo was also reported in a clinical study comprising a group of healthy individuals, supplemented with UC-II, and who developed transient knee joint pain upon strenuous exercise. These same individuals also took longer to experience pain after 120 days of supplementation. Based on these observations, the current study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of UC-II in knee OA subjects compared to placebo and to glucosamine and chondroitin, which is a widely available supplement that is used for reducing joint pain.

Study

For their experiment the researchers used three groups of about fifty people who had osteoarthritis in the knee joint. Over a period of six months one group took a placebo every day, a second group took a supplement containing 1500 mg glucosamine and 1200 mg chondroitin, and a third group took 40 mg undenatured type II collagen.

The subjects took half of their capsules in the mornings and the other half in the evenings.

Conclusion

This study found that UC-II, a nutritional ingredient containing undenatured type II collagen, significantly improved knee function in OA subjects by day 180, compared to placebo and to GC, and was well-tolerated. Based on the data presented herein, we believe that additional research is warranted both to confirm and to define these findings more extensively.

My knees would cry for joy at this, lol. Definitely hoping for something that can help promote natural cartilage repair/rebuild and help improve overal knee health, as I yearn for the days I can go jog, or squat and dead pain free.

Also think this stuff can help with shoulders and even fingers.

Would love to see something as well that can help rebuild/repair discs without all the risks of surgery or even bone fusion. My own back is not too hot either...getting too old

You can rehab those disks to a point with a reverse hyper bench. If your gym doesn't have one it is a worth it investment. Helped my back a bunch.

I have 1 or 2 discs in my lower back that feel slightly out of position, and I could see if my gym has such a bench. Hopefully I can be able to work them back into place as well as helping keep all my discs in place

That machine is what you need. At least is sounds that way from your description.
