Studies show that exposure to small amounts of type II chicken collagen can inhibit immune overreaction to exposed collagen proteins, substantially reducing the pain and disability of osteoarthritis 4,6-8 and rheumatoid arthritis.s it became increasingly apparent that osteoarthritis âlike rheumatoid arthritisâis an immune disorder, scientists began testing type II chicken collagen on this most prevalent form of joint disease. Letâs examine the results of these breakthrough studies.
