Collagen peptides are known to
• Support the structure and firmness of the skin, reduce wrinkles and signs of aging
• Strengthen the quality of nails and hair
• Promote muscle development in athletes
Studies have also examined their role in the health of joints, bones, muscles, and tendons.
Although current legislation has not validated the beneficial effects of marine collagen on health, we recommend consulting scientific sources, such as Pubmed, to learn more.
From the age of 30, collagen supplementation may be relevant to meet the body's needs.
However, collagen is a large molecule (300,000 daltons), insoluble, and unable to easily cross the intestinal wall. For better absorption, the use of collagen peptides is ideal.
Our collagen undergoes a hydrolysis process, creating small soluble peptides of 2 to 20 amino acids (approximately 2000 daltons).
These peptides more easily cross the intestinal barrier and quickly reach target tissues, where they deliver their benefits. Nearly 70 clinical studies have explored the effects of high-quality marine collagen Peptan® on skin, bones, joints, sports nutrition, and even weight management.
However, these effects are not yet recognized by the EFSA.
In addition to being easily absorbed, collagen peptides are bioactive. They participate in the formation of collagen fibers and activate the production of certain proteins in cells, such as hyaluronic acid and elastin, which are essential for skin hydration and elasticity.
They can also partially inhibit the enzymes responsible for collagen degradation. Marine collagen peptides, composed of 90% natural amino acids, are highly bioavailable and assimilable, providing 18 amino acids, including proline and glycine concentrations 10 to 20 times higher than those of other dietary sources.
Take one scoop daily, diluted in a glass of water or fruit juice with meals. The scoop is included with the product. Each level scoop provides approximately 10 grams, which is the daily dose used in clinical studies of Peptan® marine collagen.
