Marine and Bovine Collagen: Skin, Hair, and Joints
Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body, found in skin, cartilage, tendons, and bones. Its natural production gradually decreases with age, explaining the growing interest in powdered or capsule collagen supplements, sought after for both skin appearance and joint comfort.
Two sources dominate the market: marine collagen, with smaller molecules and easier absorption, often associated with aesthetic concerns (skin firmness, hydration, complexion radiance), and bovine collagen, rich in type I and III collagen, traditionally associated with joint and muscle comfort. Many formulas combine these with vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of bones, cartilage, skin, gums, teeth, and blood vessels. The most sought-after collagen-based food supplement remains marine collagen powder, to be diluted in a hot or cold drink.
