Knee pain relief
Most Useful Review
Amazing effect and results. For a long time, I struggled to find the right balance of collagen to support my joint tissues. This product has been a lifesaver. Within a month, my knees stopped hurting, and after two months, I forgot about the clicks in my knees and the internal "dryness." A friend with a knee injury also stopped experiencing pain after a month. Initially, I felt unusual in my stomach, but that went away after a few weeks.

After enduring a debilitating neck injury for five years, I found only temporary relief through doctors prescribing NSAIDs. Learning about Type II collagen, I decided to try it. Just one week later, my pain ceased, and I experienced better sleep than I have in years. This has been a complete turnaround for me! If you are suffering from arthritis, I highly recommend trying this product.

This product has saved me from knee surgery! After suffering severe bone pain and arthritis due to past injuries, I was sceptical about UC11 made by NOW. However, after taking two pills a day, the pain in my knee diminished significantly within a week, and two months later, I've experienced no pain at all. This has been a remarkable change, and I highly recommend it for anyone facing similar issues.

I take two capsules daily. At 40, rheumatoid arthritis runs in my family, affecting my joints, especially my hands and knees. After starting these 8 months ago, I noticed that all inflammation and pain disappeared within 3 days. In just one week, my joint problems were forgotten with no stiffness returning. When I run out, the swelling and stiffness return. This supplement aids in managing my pain and enhances my mobility.

Therapeutic effect
Most Useful Review
While marketed for cartilage strengthening, I utilise it for "relapsed polychondritis," an autoimmune disorder I've suffered from for six years. This disorder is caused by collagen type 2 producing autoantibodies. I've proven that UC-II acts therapeutically with my body, and I am nearly fully recovered but take it daily for prevention.

Optimal for diabetes
Most Useful Review
An excellent form of collagen for joints. I have multiple spinal fractures and associated issues - protrusions, coxarthrosis, etc. I've tried numerous chondroprotectors in various forms for extended periods. Currently, these capsules are the best in my experience. Considering my type 2 diabetes mellitus, collagen is optimal, as glucosamine and chondroitin-based chondroprotectors worsen diabetes. A large package lasts for a lengthy course of four months. Overall, it turns out to be cost-effective. My order was well packaged and arrived safely in four weeks to Yekaterinburg. I would appreciate a like if this review was helpful to you. Thank you for your attention.

Type II collagen is crucial for joint health, involved in the structure of cartilage and intervertebral discs. With age, collagen decreases. This supplement aids in breaking down and regenerating collagen effectively, thus helping counter joint diseases.

I took this supplement for two months based on my rheumatologist's advice, alongside medicinal treatments and vitamin D (I have unspecified reactive arthropathy). The results have been remarkable; I've managed to completely stop using painkillers. However, it’s important to note that collagen might be detrimental if you have rheumatic conditions such as systemic scleroderma or systemic sclerosis. Therefore, consulting a doctor before use is essential.

It was effective. Due to overuse in marathons and triathlons, my meniscus was damaged, leading to joint discomfort. However, after continuing to take this, my joints have moved more smoothly for a year, and the excess fluid on my knees has decreased. Although not entirely cured, movement has gradually become easier. I particularly appreciate the improvement as it feels like a twofold benefit since my skin condition has also improved.

Microneedling depth impacts scars
Evaluation of microneedling depth of penetration in management of atrophic acne scars: a split-face comparative study.
Most Relevant Research
In our exploration of treating atrophic acne scars, we focused on the effects of different microneedling depths using Dermapen. We designed a split-face study involving 14 individuals, where each side of their face received a different treatment depth over six sessions, spaced two weeks apart.
On one side, the needles penetrated 2.5 mm into the skin, while the other side used 1.5 mm. We observed a noticeable difference in the improvement of scars, with the deeper 2.5 mm treatment showing significantly better results both clinically and at a cellular level.
The findings suggest that deeper microneedling might foster better collagen induction, which is crucial for skin repair. Both treatments improved collagen and elastin fibers, but the more profound impact from the deeper needles highlights how penetration depth might be a key factor in achieving effective results in scar management.
