Where Does Type II Chicken Collagen Come From?

Type II collagen is sourced primarily from chicken sternum cartilage, a naturally rich and clean source. This specific type of collagen is carefully processed to extract and hydrolyze it, breaking it into smaller, more absorbable peptides. This process ensures your dog’s body can easily utilize it for joint repair and maintenance.

Not All Collagens Are the Same

There are several types of collagen, each serving different roles in the body:

• Type I Collagen: Found in skin, tendons, and bones. It primarily supports skin elasticity, hair, and nail strength.
• Type III Collagen: Works alongside Type I, supporting muscles, organs, and blood vessels.
• Type II Collagen: The hero for joint health. It specifically supports cartilage—the cushion between joints—by promoting repair, reducing breakdown, and enhancing flexibility.

Unlike other types of collagen, Type II collagen directly targets cartilage, making it the ideal choice for dogs experiencing hip dysplasia, arthritis, or joint stiffness.

How Does Collagen Synthesis Work?

Collagen synthesis is your dog’s natural process for repairing and rebuilding cartilage. Here’s how it works:

1. Collagen Breakdown: Over time, age, activity, or injuries cause cartilage to break down, leading to discomfort and stiffness.
2. Nutrient Supply: For your dog to rebuild cartilage, their body needs the right materials, including collagen peptides and ascorbic acid (Vitamin C).
3. Repair and Regeneration: Type II chicken collagen supplies the building blocks for cartilage, while ascorbic acid enhances the body’s ability to synthesize and stabilize new collagen fibers.

With Barktiv Motion+, we’ve paired Type II collagen with ascorbic acid to ensure your pup’s body has everything it needs to repair and strengthen joints efficiently.

What Does It Do for Hip and Joint Pain?

Unlike ingredients that only address pain and inflammation, Type II collagen works at the root of the problem—repairing and protecting cartilage.

Here’s how it helps:

• Supports Cartilage Regeneration: By providing the raw materials for collagen synthesis, Type II collagen helps rebuild and maintain healthy cartilage.
• Slows Cartilage Breakdown: It modulates the immune response that can accelerate cartilage wear and tear, helping to slow the progression of joint conditions.
• Improves Joint Flexibility and Mobility: Healthier cartilage means smoother movement, less stiffness, and more playtime for your dog.
• Reduces Discomfort Naturally: By addressing the cause of pain (cartilage loss), Type II collagen reduces joint discomfort over time.

How Long Does It Take to See Results?

As with any natural supplement, results take time, but they’re worth the wait.

• Most dog owners report noticeable improvements in 4 to 6 weeks of consistent use.
• Over time, with continued supplementation, your dog will experience better mobility, increased energy, and reduced stiffness.

The best part? Type II collagen doesn’t just mask symptoms; it helps your dog’s body repair and strengthen cartilage for long-term joint health.
