Benefits of Collagen

Collagen is the most abundant natural source of protein found in the body. It forms the basis of connective tissue in areas such as the skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Approximately 75-80% of our skin structure is made up of collagen, and collagen is also crucial for the proper functioning of blood vessels and the digestive system.

As we age, our body's ability to naturally produce collagen declines. Starting from our mid-twenties, collagen production decreases each year, and women experience a total loss of approximately 30-50% by post-menopause. The decrease in collagen contributes to wrinkles, dry and sagging skin, thin hair, brittle nails, and joint issues due to weakened cartilage.

There are at least twenty-eight different varieties of collagen, with three types being particularly useful in the body. Type 1 collagen is found in skin, bone, and blood vessel walls, accounting for 90% of the body's collagen. Type 2 collagen is present in the cushioning tissues of joints. Type 3 collagen is found in muscles, blood vessels, and organs.

Taking a collagen supplement effectively boosts the amount of collagen accessible to your body. Marine sources of collagen, specifically Type 1 collagen, enhance your body's natural collagen production, benefiting your skin (Type 1), cartilage (Type 2), and organs (Type 3).

Type 1 Marine Collagen peptides are believed to be well-utilized by the body and are thought to be more efficiently digested compared to bovine or porcine collagen. This is because they have been hydrolyzed into small particles, enabling easy passage into the bloodstream and distribution throughout the body.

Regular supplementation with Type 1 collagen increases Collagen levels in the body, providing nutritional support for:

• Healthy skin and skin hydration to promote smoothness, suppleness, and firmness.
• Strong and healthy nail growth while preventing nail breakage.
• Healthy hair growth and strength, as collagen supports the formation of keratin, reducing hair breakage and damage.
• Natural wound healing and scar fading by supporting skin renewal and repair cycles.
• Digestive health and a healthy gut lining.
• Joint health and movement.
