Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by swelling and inflammation
of the joints. In RA, the immune system attacks a person's own cells inside joints,
eventually leading to joint damage and disability. This study will determine if oral bovine
type II collagen (bovine CII) will lead to decreased joint inflammation in RA patients.
