What is UC-II® undenatured type II collagen?
UC-II® is a patented form of undenatured type II collagen derived from chicken sternum cartilage. It is one of the most researched collagen ingredients for joint health support in the dietary supplement industry.
Here’s what makes it unique:
- Undenatured — unlike hydrolyzed collagen (which is broken down into peptides), UC-II® preserves the native 3D structure of type II collagen. This intact structure is key to how it works in the body.
- Type II collagen — the specific type of collagen found in cartilage, making it the most relevant form for joint support.
- Low dose, high efficacy — UC-II® is effective at just 40mg per day, making FERN-FLEX a convenient single small capsule.

|---|---|---|
| Structure | Native 3D structure preserved | Broken down into peptides |
| Type | Type II (cartilage-specific) | Type I & III (skin, hair, nails) |
| Daily dose | 40mg | 5,000–10,000mg+ |

How do I take FERN-FLEX?

Who should consider FERN-FLEX?
- Adults looking to support joint comfort and mobility
- Active individuals and athletes who put stress on their joints

Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you have a joint condition or take medications.
How is FERN-FLEX different from Fern-C Beauty Collagen?
Great question — these are two very different collagen products designed for different purposes:
- FERN-FLEX (UC-II®) — undenatured Type II collagen at 40mg/day, specifically for joint support
- Fern-C Beauty Collagen — hydrolyzed bovine collagen (Type I & III) at higher doses, designed for skin, hair, and nail support
They can be taken together as they target completely different tissues and work through different mechanisms — consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
