Marine Collagen
Marine Collagen, hydrolyzed collagen (Collagen Peptides) obtained from raw materials of fish origin (fish skin and scales) such as collagen of other origin (bovine, porcine), is a structural protein that is essential for our body.
It represents the main component of the extracellular matrix in connective tissues and plays a crucial role in maintaining the structure, strength and integrity of skin, hair, nails, bone and cartilage. With advancing age, starting as early as 25-30 years of age, endogenous collagen production progressively decreases. This physiological process contributes to the appearance of wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and signs of aging.
Marine Collagen is distinguished by its high bioavailability and digestibility compared to other collagen sources due to its lighter molecular structure. It occurs as a fine, white or creamy white powder, soluble in water and with a neutral or slightly characteristic flavor.
Key Features
- It is rich in type I collagen, the most abundant form in human skin, tendons, and bones.
- It is generally hydrolyzed (hydrolyzed collagen or collagen peptides) to facilitate intestinal absorption.
- It is also valued for its nonterrestrial origin, making it a viable alternative for those who avoid beef or pork products for religious, ethical or food safety reasons.
Key Benefits of Marine Collagen
- Support cell turnover and skin regeneration.
- Promote the synthesis of new collagen and other dermal matrix components (e.g., elastin, hyaluronic acid).
- Improve skin firmness, elasticity and hydration.
- Counteract visible signs of skin aging.
- Helping the well-being of joints, tendons and ligaments.
- Play a role in maintaining bone health.
The benefits of Marine Collagen are supported by several clinical studies conducted on Marine Collagen Peptides, which showed significant improvements in dermal density, skin smoothness, and wrinkle depth reduction after 8-12 weeks of regular intake. Always remember that it is important to consult a health care professional before starting any new supplement or treatment.
