Healthy Origins UC-II Collagen 40 mg, 120 Veggie Caps

The first Saturday in April of 2024, I woke & couldn't take any weight on my left knee, which swelled horribly & eventually, over 6 months, the ligament tore. I'd noticed about a year earlier I developed crepitus in my knees. My right knee also began hurting, some days pretty significantly, and I was really afraid it would become like my left knee. Two days later, realizing I wasn't going to make it over the weekend to see my own PCP, my husband took me to the ER. The ER doc did tell me that he couldn't do an MRI bc (and isn't this wrong) Medicare wouldn't pay unless ordered by another doctor, but he & the head of Radiology both agreed I'd never need a knee replacement. Two days later, the Ortho doc told me I needed both knees replaced. Hey, why not! I was a 67-yr old lady--that's what I'd expect...right? WRONG! I know of NO ONE who wakes up overnight & needs knees replaced! A friend suggested another supplement for joint support, which did nothing at all! Then, a new friend suggested Type II Collagen. I did a little research & found that denatured collagen is best. Literally within 2-3 days the crepitus was almost gone, and it was gone within a week! My right knee, which I thoroughly believed was going to become as bad as my left, I now have hope that it will not! Furthermore, when I do get up & walk, I realize--oh my gosh, I only have pain in my left knee! My right knee almost never has pain! You cannot realize what a huge & significant difference this is! I am a person who truly & deeply believe that God put everything on this earth that we need for good health. I feel that it is a horrible shame that the Orthopedic doc & even the ER doc didn't give me compression sleeves for my knees & recommend Type II Collagen! I HIGHLY recommend this supplement! I cannot recommend it highly enough! It is really GOOD! I know I have a long way to go & am not sure how much improvement I will see because of how many months I went without. I find myself wondering if I should even take a higher doseage, but I probably won't--at least until I can talk to my own doctor. I am SO grateful I found this! ❤️ Oh, they're easy to swallow at a good size & there is no taste to them.

I ordered it for creaky knees. I haven't noticed better knees, but it did improve sleep. It is worth taking for that.

These were Consumer Lab's top pick for UC-II and they help perimenopausal joint pain after about 3wks. The capsules are only filled 2/3 full this time unlike what I've received before from them so I went to get seller information and Red Jaguar isn't listed as a reseller per Healthy Origins website. I emailed Healthy Origins and they said Red Jaguar is their Amazon reseller and they're using less fillers but the active ingredient is all there and they're working on fixing the look, might use smaller capsules since there's less filler.

I have bern using this for a little over 2 weeks. I spoke to my doctor about he said it would be alright to try. So I did. Very satisfied. Reduced pain in my knees. Yes I still have aches but the sharp pain is gone to a manageable level. Worth the try.

Perfect

Have been using Healthy Orgins UC-II for quite sometime but this last bottlle of 120 had most of the capsules only half to three quarters full - will be looking for another brand next time. Too bad, because they always worked well with me.

The directions suggest taking this before bed at night; I know that collagen supplements in any form (tablet, capsule, liquid) tend to do best on an empty stomach and away from eating, so that the digestion juices in one's stomach don't deactivate its "super powers." This particular type of collagen UC-II, has some interesting clinical research behind it for joint health; as a former and intense athlete, this really means something to me. I am still quite active and have changed many aspects of my lifestyle, most especially my diet (WFPB) and am in better shape and with more balanced, targeted strength than in the previous decade! So, yes, this supplement is part of a lifestyle and is NOT a silver bullet fix-it-all-with-a-pill sort of "answer." That being said, I think it can be a very helpful addition/input to your health and strength routine. Also, this specific brand is consistently accurate with all of its offerings when it comes to labeling and quality. This brand's UC-II, which is what I'm reviewing here, was selected as a "Top Pick" by an independent testing lab and has maintained that distinction for some time now. I believe that it has helped my joints tremendously over the past four or five years of taking it every night. To be honest, there is no cloned-me to compare (as if I had a reference for NOT taking it) but given the aftermath pain I used to have, and the trouble with working out or exercising or recreating at a certain intensity in past years... I truly think this has helped a ton. As long as they continue making it? I'm taking it.

I'm taking a couple versions of this but this one seem to be the best price value. I hurt my knee over a year ago and had pain for about a year after I started taking UCI to I no longer have knee pain.

I have been taking UC-II for 2-3 years now and it's a much effective supplement than Glucosamine. I practice Japanese martial arts for years and kneeling or jumping up from a kneeling position etc. is a common feature of the art. I can tell and feel the difference in my knees in terms of 'less tightness and discomfort'. UC-II also improves my knees' flexibility somewhat.

Lo compré porque el veterinario homeópata me lo recomendó para mi perrito y la verdad es una maravilla, le ha ayudado 100%

Superb

It is good, and it does work! I'm happy with this product! Yes, I recommend it to!
