Question 1

What is collagen?

Accepted Answer

Collagen is a structural protein with the triple helix molecular structure made of three amino acid chains, which forms strong fibers and provides the body with its structure. Collagen is the human body’s most abundant protein, making up around 1 of 3 total protein content. It ensures the integrity, elasticity, and strength of our body's connective tissues, thus maintaining the form and function of our skin, cartilage, and bones.

Question 2

What is marine collagen?

Accepted Answer

Marine collagen is a collagen derived from fish, hence it is also called fish collagen, which contains Type I and Type III collagen molecules. Marine Collagen has shown to have superior bioavailability, as compared with collagen from another animal origin. Bioavailability is the rate at which food is absorbed into the bloodstream through our intestinal wall. In other words, Marine collagen enters the bloodstream more quickly than any other collagen types.

Question 3

What is the difference in types of collagen?

Accepted Answer

There are many different types of collagen – 16, to be precise. However, the most common and well-researched types of collagen include Types I, II, and III (90%). Type I Collagen and Type III Collagen are the most prevalent within our bodies. Type I collagen is accountable for strong hair, skin, nails, and bones. Type III serves for bone integrity and for the blood circulation system vessel's strength. Type II Collagen is less prevalent within the human body. It is widely present in joints and cartilage. Intake of Type II collagen is mostly for promoting joints health found in animal origin collagen, does not apply to fish marine collagen.

Question 5

Why Col Du Marine collagen better than other marine collagens?

Accepted Answer

It is very important to understand, that only collagen, processed via very gentle hydrolysis and passing over all phases, necessary to deliver exact sequenced peptides may bring its fantastic results. The fish skins have to be cleaned many times, to be free of any foreign body, such as fat, meat, bones and scales. The extraction of the collagen via straight enzymatic hydrolysis of the skin, without passing gelatin phase is also not correct, as the treatment temperatures have to be low, and enzymes which are responsible for particular amino acids sequence creation may easily get out of control. Unfortunately, a lot of collagen products are based on ingredients, which are not proven to have controlled patented production methods and specifications. If the amino acid sequence in collagen does not correspond to what it should correspond to, it may be considered just as a protein, which may contribute to overall health, but will not complete its mission – to boost the body’s own collagen production. Hence, choosing your marine collagen supplement cannot be a gamble, so neither beautiful designs nor the marketing dosed low concentrated products, promising to change your skin within a short time, should be your directive for the choice. Only proven trademarks may be both beneficial and cost-effective for you.
