Why marine collagen is making a splash in the beauty world

With its ability to target the effects of skin ageing and help strengthen hair and nails, it’s no wonder marine collagen is creating such a buzz.

Marine collagen has seen a huge boost in popularity over the past few years.

And it is little wonder, given it is lauded for its role in helping to keep skin hydrated, firm and smooth – and not to mention its part in keeping hair and nails strong.

As ingestible beauty supplements increasingly make their way into beauty routines, here’s what to know about marine collagen.

Firstly, let’s get acquainted with collagen

Collagen is basically the main structural protein in your body – think of it like the glue that holds everything together.

It’s what gives skin its strength and resiliency and its plump, youthful appearance.

Research suggests our bodies produce less and less collagen as we age.

This depletion can start as early as our 20s and then it continues. Year. By. Year. By age 40 you’ve lost 25 per cent and by 60 years, a whopping 50 per cent.

This can contribute to dry skin and the forming of wrinkles.

And marine collagen?

Happily though, science is showing that supplementing with collagen can help.

Marine collagen, as the name suggests, is sourced from fish and comes from the parts that would usually be discarded during processing – the scales and the skin.

That’s opposed to the vast majority of collagen products, which come from animal sources such as cows.

Marine collagen is also a type one collagen (there are at least 16 types of collagen but type one is the main component in skin).

How do you get more marine collagen in your day?

Don’t like taking tablets or pills? How about a shot of liquid goodness that delivers a concentrated dose of sustainably sourced, hydrolysed marine collagen into your day?

Better still, it comes in a great tasting peach flavour and is 97 per cent sugar free. It also contains no artificial colours or flavours and is both dairy- and gluten-free.

You can consume it on its own, or add it to still or sparkling water or smoothies.
