Everything we hear most often — about collagen, our formula, and the daily ritual.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body — the primary building block of skin, muscles, bones, tendons and ligaments. It also appears in blood vessels, organs and the intestinal lining.
It is built around three amino acids — proline, glycine and hydroxyproline — folded into a triple helix, with vitamin C, zinc and copper as the cofactors the body needs to assemble it. In short: collagen gives skin its strength and elasticity, and keeps connective tissue resilient throughout the body.
More than twenty distinct types have been identified. Together they form the networks and membranes that hold tissues together throughout the body.
Type I is by far the most abundant — roughly 90% of the body's collagen — giving structure to skin, bones, tendons and ligaments.
Collagen peptides are a hydrolyzed form of collagen, broken into small, easily digestible fragments for better absorption. Derived from marine or animal sources, they support the body's natural collagen production and may help improve skin health, ease joint discomfort and promote overall connective-tissue function.
Primarily Type I premium marine collagen peptides, with a low molecular weight of 2,000 Daltons, sourced from Europe and clinically studied for their effects on skin, hair and nails.*
Marine collagen — sourced from fish — is metabolically compatible with the human body, free of religious constraints, and free of the animal pathogens and hormones associated with land-sourced collagen.
Land animals can carry transmissible diseases, which makes them less favorable as a source. A growing body of research also points to marine collagen's benefits in wound healing and visible anti-aging.
Collagen synthesis begins to decline in our mid-twenties, at roughly 1.5% per year, and the first signs of aging — fine lines, reduced elasticity — generally appear in the thirties.
Environmental factors like UV light, smoking and a diet high in sugar accelerate the loss. Adults from their mid-twenties onward, particularly those exposed to stress, toxins and UV, may benefit from balanced supplementation to counteract the natural decline.
Research shows promising benefits of marine collagen and fruit extracts for skin, joints and overall health. Some industry studies are funded by supplement manufacturers — choosing products that are third-party tested is the simplest way to ensure quality and safety.
