Collagen peptides, which can be taken orally or applied topically, play an important role in the elasticity and resilience of skin, tendons and ligaments as well as other tissues such as cartilage and bone. Marine collagen in particular, which is obtained from fish such as salmon or cod, offers numerous benefits and is used in various areas.

Hydrolysed collagen from fish skin - a versatile raw material

Collagen obtained from fish is becoming increasingly popular due to its beneficial properties. It is type 1 collagen, the main type in humans. Compared to collagen from beef or pork, marine collagen is better absorbed by the body. This makes it a popular choice for numerous applications in nutritional supplements and cosmetics.

 

Why marine collagen is special

Fish-based collagen is becoming increasingly popular, partly due to consumers' fewer reservations compared to other animal-based ingredients. Collagen from marine sources, particularly from fish such as salmon or cod, is hydrolysed in a special process so that it is broken down into small, easily absorbable peptides. These peptides are particularly bioactive and can be absorbed more quickly and effectively by the body.

 

Applications of collagen

Hydrolysed collagen from salmon or other fish species is used in numerous products, both orally and dermally. It is often used in dietary supplements to promote collagen absorption. It is also used in nutricosmetics that support beauty from the inside out. Collagen is also used in foods for special nutritional needs and in products for the sports sector. Collagen is also found in pharmaceutical products aimed at musculoskeletal health.
