In review, we now
know that collagen II components are truly chondro-protective agents
because they: 1) resist protein cartilage digesting enzymes; 2)
reprogram destructive chondrocytes and cytokines, reducing
inflammation; 8) promote new cartilage cell synthesis and proteoglycan
synthesis; 4) enhance the production of the joint fluid, hyaluronan, to
produce a thick effective, lubricating, synovial fluid for the joint
itself; 5) protect the surface of the cartilage from oxidative damage
and enzyme digestion; 6) act as a powerful anti-inflammatory and pain
modulator.
