The present invention relates to a nutritional supplement composition containing undenatured or denatured Type II collagen in combination with vitamin A and / or one or more carotenoids. The different dietary or nutraceutical agents are able to work together synergistically to improve the health and well-being of a human being or an animal. This synergy can be in the form of a faster onset of action, an increase in the number of responses, or a higher level of efficiency, or any combination of these, compared to the administration of the source of Type II collagen, vitamin A, or other carotenoids alone. The nutritional supplement can be used to treat joint pain or other joint diseases due to arthritis, improve immune health, improve eye health and / or improve brain health in human and animal populations at risk of presenting and actively presenting such affections. |
