topicCollagen Joint Stiffness Randomized Trial
claimAn evidence-based analysis showed that undenatured type II collagen (40 mg/day) improves pain, stiffness, function, and quality of life in early-to-moderate OA (Grades 1-3), with benefits observed within eight weeks, improved compliance, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-sparing effects.
