The benefits of marine collagen

Collagen is a key protein often associated with youth, well-being and vitality. With its many benefits for the body, including its significant impact on the health of the skin, muscles, hair and joints, it is the most beneficial model for these aspects, according to a clinical study. But what about marine collagen? Discover its many benefits, particularly for the skin against the phenomenon of skin aging . Go further by choosing our anti-aging duo to prevent the first signs of aging.

What is marine collagen?

Marine collagen is a protein of marine origin unlike that of bovine or caprine origin coming from land animals. It is extracted from the skin, bones and scales of fish, generally salmon, cod and mackerel. This type 1 collagen, like naticol collagen, is easily absorbed by the human body, due to its amino acid composition, its low molecular weight and its bioavailability.

The benefits of marine collagen for the human body

For the skin

Marine collagen is recommended for skin health . It improves elasticity, hydration and more generally the quality of the skin. An antioxidant, it is often compared to an anti-aging treatment or a natural anti-wrinkle treatment . It also acts on the firmness of the skin and in particular on the formation of the dermis. In addition, it is beneficial for healing. It joins the body to form new connective tissues necessary for healing.

To combat the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on your face , you can also opt for our anti-aging duo . This routine, composed of only two products, will be ideal for slowing down the effects of aging on your skin. For the eye area, apply our EYE RE-7® multi-corrector morning and evening by lightly tapping from the inner corner of the eye outwards on wrinkles, bags and dark circles. The hyaluronic acid contained in this treatment also helps reduce your complex around the eyes. On the entire face, use the NubiAGE D-fense™ plumping detox cream to plump and deeply hydrate your skin. These two treatments contain bakuchiol , an essential ingredient for restoring tone to your skin .

For hair

In the amino acid called "proline", necessary for the production of keratin, you find collagen. With daily supplementation in the form of marine origin, you will notice that your hair is stronger, shinier and healthier. The powerful antioxidant action of proline allows marine-type collagen to improve the health of hair follicles, while increasing their pigmentation.

For the joints

From the age of 25, the production of collagen in the body decreases, which can eventually lead to chronic pain in the tendons and cartilage. Taking collagen daily for flexibility and good joint health is therefore highly recommended. It can also provide relief for people suffering from rheumatism and/or osteoarthritis in the cartilage.

The different forms of organic marine collagen

Marine collagen can be consumed in different forms to provide this synthetic protein as a supplement to your body:

• Marine collagen powder is a popular form, prized for its high protein concentration and ease of integration into the daily diet. Extracted from natural sources, it offers optimized absorption by the body. Be sure to check the doses indicated to add it to your diet.

• Marine collagen in capsules or tablets is also a popular form of supplementation of this protein, offering a convenient alternative to powder. These food supplements generally contain hydrolyzed marine collagen to be taken as a cure.

• Liquid marine collagen contains high levels of collagen peptides, which help restore skin elasticity and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It often contains other ingredients such as vitamin C, hyaluronic acid , and silica. These ingredients work together to promote collagen supplementation, skin hydration, and prevent premature aging . With this texture, it is best to drink it on an empty stomach in the morning.

How to choose the right marine collagen?

The source

The first criterion to consider when purchasing a marine collagen food supplement is its source. Wild fish are of better quality, as they evolve in their natural environment and consume a varied and healthy diet. They come from sustainable fishing, which is better for sustainable development. On the other hand, farmed fish are generally exposed to chemicals and antibiotics, which can affect the quality of the collagen obtained. Another element to check is the certifications obtained by the product. Some certifications, such as the MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) certification, guarantee that the marine collagen comes from sustainable and environmentally friendly sources.

The extraction method

The extraction process is a determining factor in the quality of marine collagen peptides . There are two main extraction methods:

• Enzymatic hydrolysis is a method that uses enzymes to break the protein bonds of collagen into smaller peptides that are more easily absorbed by the body. Enzymatic hydrolysis produces high-quality collagen with better bioavailability. This form of hydrolyzed marine collagen allows for better assimilation of the active ingredients by the body.

• Acid hydrolysis is a less expensive method, but it causes more degradation of the peptides, which can affect their effectiveness. In addition, this manufacturing method often uses chemical solvents that are potentially harmful to health.

Collagen concentration

Collagen concentration is also an important criterion to check when purchasing a dietary supplement. It must be high enough to provide the expected benefits. Most experts recommend a minimum concentration of 10 g of collagen per day to obtain significant results on the skin , joints and connective tissues.

For proven hydration and restored elasticity, you now know how to take care of your skin and limit the effects of skin aging thanks to marine collagen. Consider taking a collagen and vitamin C treatment for better protection of your skin against your age.
