UC-II®, as well as containing standardised cartilage, has been formulated by experts at HSN with a range of specifically selected vitamins and minerals.

The collagen fibrils of the structural basis of the cartilage matrix are mainly made up of type II collagen protein (Gencoglu et al., 2020).
El UC-II has the tertiary and quaternary structure of its glycoproteins intact.
Why buy UC-II® by HSN?
Certified quality
UC-II® is a registered trademark of Lonza. This ingredient provides undenatured type II collagen.
Effective quantities of UC-II®
At HSN we're not only concerned with the selection of the best raw materials on the market, but also with using them in effective quantities, according to the latest scientific evidence.
You'll find many undenatured type II collagen products with a standardised cartilage content of 10 and 20mg.
However, clinical trials, as well as Lonza, the supplier of the raw material, recommend the use of a single dose of 40mg of standardised cartilage daily in order to get the most out of the undenatured type II collagen.
Our food supplement has been developed with an effective dose of 40mg per capsule, in accordance with current efficacy and safety recommendations for the compound.
With high concentrations of vitamins and minerals
UC-II® 40mg has been developed with a studied combination of vitamins and minerals.
We use a combination of Vitamin D3, and natural vitamin K2, in the form of menaquinone-7 (K2-MK7) from Natto, with the MenaquinGold® patent, recognised for its quality in the production of vitamins.
We use mineral sources, with elemental content to offer you the highest quality on the market.
- 2mg of Manganese comes form Magnesium Citrate.
- 0.5mg of Copper comes from Copper Bisglycinate.
Unlike other companies on the market, the mineral concentration we indicate on our label is that of the elemental mineral, not that of the salt.
We provide all the necessary information for the consumer, with maximum transparency..
With MCT
UC-II® by EssentialSeries has been formulated with a small amount of medium chain triglycerides.
Easy-to-swallow capsules
The capsules of our UC-II® food supplement have a reduced size.
They have been adjusted as much as possible to make their use as comfortable as possible:
A single capsule per day, of high concentration and small diameter, to avoid using large quantities of tablets per day or excessively large tablet sizes.
At HSN we are characterised by efficiency in the development process, and improve thanks to the suggestions of our clients.

Useful for injuries
Greenfooding 12/12/2022
The product comes in perfect condition and packaging. I recommend it during injuries involving the cartilage as improvements have been seen in this when about 40 mg of the supplement is consumed 1 hour prior to mechanical stress, ie, mainly strength exercise.
