How Collagen Works

Explore how marine collagen peptides may support your body’s structure, skin resilience, and joint comfort. Individual results may vary.

What Is Collagen?

Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the human body. It helps form connective tissue found in skin, bones, cartilage, tendons, and more. As we age, natural collagen production tends to slow, influenced by factors such as UV exposure, stress, and environmental damage.

Collagen & The Body: How It Functions

Marine collagen peptides are hydrolysed (broken down) into small amino acids for absorption. These amino acids contribute to the body’s pool of building blocks for collagen production. Collagen supports skin structure by helping with elasticity and moisture retention, helps maintain joint and connective tissue health, and plays a role in supporting digestive tract lining and overall tissue strength.

Aging, Lifestyle & Collagen Loss

Collagen production naturally decreases over time — a normal part of aging. Some common effects include skin appearing less firm and hydrated, subtle loss of elasticity and visible signs of aging, and reduced joint comfort and flexibility. Lifestyle factors such as excessive sun exposure, smoking, and lack of sleep can accelerate this natural collagen breakdown.

Supporting Collagen Naturally

You can support healthy collagen levels by eating a balanced diet rich in protein, vitamin C, and minerals, considering a high-quality marine collagen peptide supplement, protecting skin from sunlight, staying hydrated, getting enough rest, avoiding smoking, and staying active to support healthy connective tissues.
