If you are one of our loyal customers and readers, huge hearts to you! This means that you have most certainly read our article on collagen and that you already know a little about the subject. But we had not yet told you about marine collagen, this active ingredient with multiple benefits for the skin and the body that everyone is talking about lately. So, here we go, here is some information on this famous and fabulous marine collagen.
What is marine collagen?
Marine collagen is extracted directly from the scales, bones and skin of fish (admittedly, it doesn't sound very glamorous, but wait until you see all the benefits you can get from it!). Particularly rich in type I collagen - the most abundant type in the human body - marine collagen is considered the best alternative to the collagen naturally present in the body because their chemical structures are very similar.
Marine collagen vs. bovine collagen, what are the differences?
Unlike bovine collagen—which, you guessed it, comes from cattle—marine collagen is more easily absorbed and utilized by the body thanks to its smaller peptides. Which gives it superpowers for regenerating skin, joints, and even hair.
The benefits of marine collagen for the skin
Marine collagen has become one of the most popular ingredients in the beauty world because it has proven itself in improving the appearance of the skin and fighting the signs of aging. A skin boost for all generations!
More elastic and firmer skin
Over time, the natural production of collagen decreases. Each year, the skin loses 1% of its collagen capital so that by the age of 80, 75% has disappeared! In addition, the collagen and elastin framework stiffens, weakens and degrades due to free radicals generated by external aggressions (UV, pollution) following a process called oxidative stress, and a Western diet increasingly poor in antioxidants. Result? From the age of 30, the skin begins to lose its firmness and tone, a bit like an elastic band that has been used too much. Fortunately, marine collagen is there! Its triple helix structure, similar to that of human collagen, makes it a powerful ally to stimulate the synthesis of endogenous collagen. It thus helps to firm up skin tissues and restore maximum suppleness to the skin.
Fewer wrinkles and more glow
Marine collagen acts as a kind of “natural botox” by helping to smooth out fine lines and delay the appearance of new ones. By boosting collagen production, it helps skin stay youthful and radiant for longer. Its secret? It sneaks into the deeper layers of the epidermis and nourishes from the inside out to prevent aging, where creams only tickle the surface.
Support for joint and bone health
Marine collagen not only gives you a healthy glow, it also takes care of your joints and bones.
Cartilage regeneration
Runners and athletes in general know this well: cartilage can wear out over time. Marine collagen is involved in cartilage regeneration, helping to prevent injuries and promote faster recovery. A small miracle for those who want to continue to stay active without creaking knees!
Less pain from osteoarthritis
If you’ve ever experienced joint pain (thanks, osteoarthritis), marine collagen may be good for you. In fact, it’s been proven to help reduce inflammation and ease the pain associated with osteoarthritis, allowing you to move more freely and without pain.
Benefits for hair and nails
Marine collagen doesn't stop there. It also works on your hair and nails. So if you dream of mermaid hair or nails as strong as a seashell, you can count on it!
A keratin booster
Collagen is a key player in the production of keratin, the protein that makes up our hair. By consuming marine collagen, you naturally stimulate the production of this protein, thus promoting stronger, denser and shinier hair. The same goes for nails: marine collagen strengthens their structure and accelerates their growth, ensuring they are strong in all circumstances.
