Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body. You can find it in your bones , skin , muscles , ligaments , intestines and blood vessels . But why is Marine Collagen good for you?
However, as you age, your body produces less collagen . Combined with a poor diet, your collagen levels could drop even further. When your body produces less collagen, it can lead to things like wrinkles , weak muscles , tight ligaments and tendons , joint pain , and digestive problems .
Marine collagen is a type of collagen that comes from the scales of fish. It is a natural way to help increase your collagen levels. Collagen is a popular ingredient that you can find in many cosmetics or powder products today. However, in most of these products, the collagen comes from pig and cow hides .
Marine collagen is up to 1.5 times more efficiently absorbed by the body. Its bioavailability is better than that of both bovine and porcine collagen. This is due to its smaller particles compared to other types of collagen. These smaller particles allow for more efficient absorption and transport of collagen peptides to the skin, bones and joints , which in turn contributes to the production of new collagen.
In addition, marine collagen is also an excellent alternative for people who do not eat meat. People who do not eat beef or pork products for religious or other reasons can use collagen. Furthermore, the fishing industry often has a lot of unused raw materials from the fish they catch, including the fish skins from which marine collagen comes. This makes it a slightly more sustainable alternative to collagen from pig and cow hides.
Due to its good absorption and high bioavailability, we consciously choose Type 1 & 3 Marine collagen in our Metis Anti-Age 02 formula.
