Colacap is made from chicken sternum cartilage through a special low-temperature process that keeps its natural triple helix structure and activity. This collagen has a unique way of working. Colacap contains special binding sites called epitopes that help start a process called oral tolerization. When taken orally, these epitopes interact with the small intestine and help release T-cells that protect joints. These T-cells stop the breakdown of cartilage in the joints, reduce inflammation, and promote the rebuilding of cartilage. This helps with joint movement, flexibility, and also improves knee extension by up to 10% for better motion. Colacap also reduces joint pain from intense exercise.
