Collagen is an insoluble protein that is important in maintaining the structure of the body. It is the most abundant protein in the body, constituting about 6% of body weight. Fibers of collagen are found in connective tissue in cartilage, tendons, ligaments, skin, cornea, blood vessels, bone (where collagen makes up one-third of bone's dry weight) and in the intercellular binding material in such organs as liver and muscles. There are nineteen types of collagens; Type I, found in skin, bone and tendons; Type II, found in cartilage; Type III, found in fetal skin and blood vessels and Type IV, found in basement membranes (thin layers separating connective tissue from surrounding tissues). The remaining fifteen types of collagen are included in many tissues of the body, many of them found in tissues that contain Type I and Type II.
Type II collagen has been used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a disorder characterized by overgrowth in the synovial membrane (the lining of joints that secretes synovial fluid) and destruction of adjoining cartilage and bone. Numerous well controlled clinical trials has shown oral chicken collagen may be a safe and effective therapy for arthritis, especially rheumatoid arthritis, and there has no side effects nor adverse reaction been observed.
