This came to my attention. Apparently un-denatured collagen is effective in repairing the joints:


Undenatured chicken collagen, the primary ingredient in OsteoTec™ UC·II®, has been shown in studies and trials to help the body repair and rebuild joint cartilage - reducing joint pain, increasing joint mobility and flexibility, and promoting long-term joint health.

Grandmothers around the world have been treating colds with chicken soup for generations; then a few years ago scientists confirmed that several ingredients in chicken soup do, indeed, affect the immune system. What grandma didn't realize, though, is that one part of the chicken in particular may also help ameliorate the joint pain of arthritis.

Taken from the chicken's sternum cartilage, UC·II is an innovative, patented form of undenatured type II collagen that works with the immune system to reduce inflammation and restore cartilage (unlike glucosamine & chondroitin, which are materials involved in the structure of healthy cartilage). Extensive research and clinical studies have shown UC·II to be both safe and effective in supporting joint health – and clarify how it helps the body derail a destructive process involved in both types of arthritis.

Like Grandma's Cold Remedy, UC·II was Discovered in the Kitchen.

Dr. Eugene Moore, a chemical engineer, had an 8-year-old daughter, Anne Marie, who was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Her swollen and painful joints continued to worsen until, by the time she was in her late 20's, much of her life was spent in an electric wheelchair.

One day Dr. Moore read about some studies on chicken collagen which showed that a small amount taken orally could have a preventive effect on rheumatoid arthritis. Putting his chemical engineering background to work, he went to the grocery, bought some chickens, and turned his kitchen into a laboratory. What Dr. Moore discovered was that, unlike grandma's chicken soup, if he cooked the chicken collagen, it became ineffective. So he formulated a recipe for an ‘undenatured’ (also called natural or native; not processed by high heat or chemicals) chicken collagen using the chicken's sternum cartilage.

so I wondered how did Dr. Moore do it?

This is the patent. If you read through it, it does have the details.

Jut thought this might of value to investigate? Pass this on if you want. It looks like it could help animals and our own bodies?

By the way, here is a DIY kitchen carbonation system. In the patent, carbonation is used to preserve the cartilage

Lots of love to all and happy hips and other joints. Maggie
