Why and how to take marine collagen?

Collagen is a fundamental structural protein found in the human body. It plays a crucial role in forming and maintaining the structure of tissues such as skin, bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage.

A partir de 25 ans, notre corps produit moins de collagène, ce qui entraîne des signes visibles de vieillissement et une diminution de la vitalité des tissus. Le collagène marin, extrait de sources marines durables, offre une solution naturelle pour combler ce déficit. Nous aborderons ses avantages significatifs pour la peau, les os, et les articulations, tout en fournissant des conseils pratiques pour intégrer ce complément alimentaire beauté dans votre routine quotidienne.

Collagen is an essential protein in the human body, playing a fundamental role in maintaining tissue structure, strength and elasticity. It plays a crucial role in forming and maintaining the structure of connective tissues such as skin, bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage. 

This fibrous protein is the most abundant of all proteins in the human body, accounting for around 30% of total protein mass. Collagen acts as a kind of "glue" that holds cells together, giving these tissues their three-dimensional structure, mechanical strength and ability to resist tensile forces.

In addition, collagen contributes to wound healing by promoting the regeneration of damaged tissue. Over time, collagen production naturally declines, which can lead to signs of aging such as loss of skin firmness and joint fragility. Therefore, maintaining a proper balance of collagen in the body is essential for long-term health, mobility and beauty.

Marine collagen is distinguished by its unique origin and distinctive properties. Unlike collagens from terrestrial sources, such as bovine or porcine, marine collagen is extracted primarily from fish, in particular from their scales, skins or bones. This marine source offers a major advantage: greater compatibility with the human body and better absorption. In fact, marine collagen is renowned for its low molecular size, which facilitates its assimilation by the body.

Un autre aspect notable du marine collagen est sa composition riche en types de collagène, principalement le type I, qui est it type de collagène le plus abondant dans notre peau, nos cheveux et nos ongles. C'est le collagène qui donne à la peau sa structure, sa fermeté et sa résilience. Cette spécificité le rend alors particulièrement efficace pour soutenir la santé de la peau, favorisant son hydrate, sa fermeté and réduisant les signes de vieillissement.

In addition, marine collagen is often considered a more ethical and sustainable option. The marine sources used for its production are generally by-products of the fishing industry, contributing to a more responsible use of ocean resources. What's more, for those following specific diets, marine collagen is a non-bovine and non-porcine alternative, making it suitable for people following dietary or religious restrictions.

Marine collagen production generally involves processing fish residues, such as bones, skin and scales, to extract collagen. 

This process involves several steps, including cleansing, demineralization, enzymatic hydrolysis and purification. Essential components of marine collagen include amino acids such as glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, which are crucial for the formation of new collagen fibers in the human body. 

At D-LAB, we've chosen to use French fish from FSC-certified fisheries, processed in France.

Reducing the signs of aging: One of the most notable benefits of marine collagen is its ability to reduce the visible signs of aging. By providing the building blocks the skin needs to regenerate itself, marine collagen helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps repair and regenerate damaged collagen fibers, resulting in firmer, smoother skin.

Collagen, often cited for its vital role in the youthfulness and elasticity of our skin, has much more to offer than mere aesthetic benefits. This essential protein, which makes up much of our connective tissue, lies at the heart of the structure and function of our joints and muscles. Faced with challenges such as advancing age, intense physical activity or even injury, our body's ability to maintain and produce collagen is put to the test, directly influencing the health of our joints and muscles. Find out more in this article, which explores in depth how collagen acts as a supporting pillar for these essential systems, and how ensuring adequate supplementation can lead to better mobility, strength and overall well-being.
