What is Marine Collagen & Collagen Supplements - Kollo Health

What is marine collagen and what are collagen supplements?

Marine collagen is a term you might have heard before. Maybe from a peachy skinned model in an advert or perhaps from your dermatologist, among some other medical jargon. Perhaps your super health-conscious friend has dropped it into conversation over lunch. Either way, no matter how many times you've heard it, there is a chance that like many others, you still have no clue what it actually means. What is marine collagen? What does it do? Why is it worth spending my hard-earned cash on?

Collagen is actually already produced naturally in our bodies. It's the main protein that makes up the structure of our connective tissue. It's most abundant in our skin, bones, tissues and tendons. Although it occurs organically, sometimes people have reduced levels of collagen, especially as they age. When people have these reduced levels of collagen, it can make their skin sag and wrinkle. There are several environmental factors that play into the appearance of the skin, including pollution, smoking and diet. Many have started using marine collagen-based products to ensure their skin remains firm and soft despite these factors and naturally occurring ageing.

Marine collagen is a specific type of collagen that is sourced from fish scales. It first found widespread use in Asia, specifically, Japan. As its effects have been found to be so successful, it's recently begun to spread into the western skincare and health market. Those who take marine collagen supplements have reported that their skin condition is much improved and research suggests it also helps to increase bone strength.

It has no negative side effects but it's always best to ensure you're taking premium-grade marine collagen to ensure the quality of the product. It's an odourless and tasteless material, making it easy to take as part of your daily routine. If you have sensitive skin, it's always best to use the product cautiously at first just to make sure it doesn't cause any irritation, although this is uncommon.

If you're interested in having younger-looking skin for longer, stronger bones and a healthier lifestyle then marine collagen could be the answer your looking for.
