Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, found in the bones, muscles, skin, and tendons comprising about 80 % of its dry weight.
It is the substance that holds the body together. Collagen forms a matrix to provide strength and structure. In most collagens, the molecules are packed together to form long, thin fibrils. These act as supporting structures and anchor cells to each other. They give the skin strength and elasticity.
The body makes its own collagen molecules, but as you age, this production slows down, resulting in the breakdown of tissues in skin and joints.
There are at least 16 different types of collagens, but 80 to 90 percent of them belong to types 1, 2, and 3. These different types have different structures and functions. Marine collagen provides mainly type 1. Type 1 collagen form the structural and mechanical matrix of bone, skin, tendons, cornea, blood vessel walls, and other connective tissues.
Hydrolysed collagen is collagen that has been broken down into smaller units of protein (or collagen peptides) through a process called hydrolysis. The peptides can easily dissolve in hot or cold liquids, even smoothies or baked goods.
The Marine collagen is sourced from organic aquaculture and sustainable sourcing (tilapia scales). It does not contain any allergen ingredients like crustacean shellfish.
