Kolla2 is a dietary supplement derived from avian sternal cartilage, primarily containing Type II collagen, a structural protein found in cartilage. It is marketed for its potential benefits in supporting joint health and overall well-being.
Production and Composition
[edit]Kolla2 is produced through a patented process.[1]
The final product is a powder that contains up to 65-70% Type II collagen, 20-30% glycosaminoglycans, and 1-3% natural lipids, along with calcium, magnesium, and other essential minerals for bone health.
The primary components of Kolla2 are
[edit]- Type II Collagen: A type of protein that forms the connective tissues in the body, including skin, bones, and cartilage. Among the different types of collagen, Type II was chosen for its prevalence in joint cartilage (60% of the dry weight of cartilage is Type II collagen[2]) strong biological activity, compatibility with human skeletal structures, and its richness in amino acids essential for skeletal connective tissue.
- Hyaluronic acid: A naturally occurring substance found in the body that helps to lubricate joints and maintain skin hydration.
Potential Benefits While more research is needed to fully understand the benefits of Kolla2 (Type II Collagen), some studies have suggested that it may:
- Improve joint health: By providing essential nutrients for cartilage and joint lubrication.
- Mitigation of osteoarthritis-related joint pain: By supplementing cartilage tissues with their primary constituents.[3]
- Promote overall well-being: By supporting the body's connective tissues.
Research and Development
[edit]Terri Lynn Stiles filed for the Kolla2 production patent in 2001 and it was granted in 2004.[4]
The patent application cites Stiles' intention for Kolla2's Type II Collagen content to be used to treat a number joint tissue concerns including rheumatoid arthritis, Osteoarthritis, cartilage injuries, joint defects, connective tissue disorder, and polychondritis.[1] When looking at recent clinical and scientific research,[5] supplementing with type II collagen might benefit individuals with joint disorders, particularly osteoarthritis. Studies have shown that oral supplementation with undenatured type II collagen can lead to a reduction in joint pain and stiffness by modulating the immune response.[6] The collagen appears to help the body build up tolerance to collagen breakdown products, which are often implicated in the inflammatory processes that exacerbate joint damage. This immune-modulating effect suggests that type II collagen may offer a promising therapeutic approach for managing joint health, particularly in aging populations and those with joint disorders.
Additionally, research has explored the bioavailability[7] and efficacy of type II collagen supplementation.[8] Evidence suggests that undenatured type II collagen is particularly effective because it maintains its natural structure, which is essential for its interaction with the immune system. Clinical trials have reported that individuals taking undenatured type II collagen experienced significant improvements in joint function and pain relief compared to those taking glucosamine and chondroitin supplements, which are commonly used for joint health.[9] These findings highlight the potential of type II collagen as a targeted therapy for joint health, offering a new avenue for managing joint pain and improving the quality of life for those affected by joint conditions.
Availability and Usage
[edit]Type II collagen (kolla2) can be used as a dietary supplement, for therapeutic or preventive purposes, available in forms such as powder, granules, tablets, softgels, or capsules. Various additives used in these oral forms may include one or several of the following: preservatives, sweeteners, flavor enhancers, colorants, and non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as magnesium stearate, calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, etc. Tablets may be uncoated or coated to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, providing prolonged action, and may also be enteric-coated. Sustained-release components include mono- and di-glycerides of stearic acid.[4]
