What is collagen used for?

Collagen supplements are used worldwide for their potential to delay signs of aging - such as wrinkles and fine lines - as well as strengthen hair and nails and improve joint health. Plent Marine Collagen is a sustainable source of hydrolyzed fish Collagen. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body that helps support the stability and strength of skin, hair, tendons, ligaments, muscles, and more.

What is the role of added Vitamin C in Plent Marine Collagen?

Our NEW Plent Marine Collagen contains acerola for added Vitamin C. Vitamin C helps the body produce collagen (Source: EFSA). Taking vitamin C with collagen may also maintain good skin health and speed up healing (Source: EFSA).

People who have continuous insufficient intake of Vitamin C may have a slower healing process and collagen production (Source: EFSA).

Our Pink Raspberry-flavored collagen powder contains Organic Acerola providing 80 mg of Natural Vitamin C. Vitamin C has been studied to help with collagen absorption in the body!

Why choose fish collagen instead of bovine collagen?

Traditionally, collagen supplements use bovine (cows) and porcine (pigs) as collagen sources. But as further studies were done, collagen from marine life is more sustainable and of better quality. Marine Collagen is a high-quality type I collagen with a higher absorption capability up to 1.5 times more than bovine and porcine collagen (Source: NCBI & MDPI). 

Type 1 Collagen is similar to the collagen structure naturally available in the body and making it readily available to the body once consumed (Source: MDPI). 

What are Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides?

When a protein is extracted from the food, it is usually in a long, complex structure. Larger proteins need to be digested before being absorbed and available in the body. When a large protein is hydrolyzed, it is ''snipped' using enzymatic processes to simply chop it into smaller fragments to become more bioavailable and biologically active. This means that it is better absorbed into the body.

What reduces collagen in your body?

As we age, our collagen production decreases 1 to 1.5% every year after early adulthood. However, aging is just one factor that can cause collagen production to decline. We also have other factors such as:

• Lack of Vitamin C in the diet
• Lifestyles such as a non-balanced diet and smoking
• Excessive sun exposure (photoaging of skin

What are signs of collagen deficiency in the skin?

The gradual decline in our collagen production can cause the first signs of aging: wrinkle formation, brown spots, fine lines, and sagging skin. This is where collagen supplementation comes in (Source: Parjournal).

Plent Marine Collagen has no fishy after-taste

You do not have to worry about any after-taste, unlike bovine and porcine collagen and other marine collagens in the market. The majority of fish collagen has some degree of fishy after-taste, sometimes in combination with an unpleasant fishy order, or an unwarranted sour-tasting profile. Some even have rather strange yellowish colors coming after mixing the powder in water.

Natural flavors and sweetened with stevia

Our in-house experts have formulated it to deliver a cutting-edge collagen powder that is neutral in taste. Plent Marine Collagen contains a natural raspberry flavor sweetened naturally by the extracts of the stems and leaves of the Stevia plant. A perfect add-on to add to your drinks and smoothies.

Plent Marine Collagen is free from heavy metal

Though many fish collagens are marketed as clean, once you start testing raw materials or consumer products, you’ll find arsenic (also inorganic arsenic) and other heavy metals such as lead. This has been found especially in so called “wild caught” fish collagen. These heavy metals bio-accumulate throughout the food chain and is hence found in various raw materials and consumer products.

However, this does not apply to Plent Marine Collagen! Our fish collagen has been third party tested and found to be 100% free of heavy metals.

What are the key health aspects of hydrolyzed marine collagen?

Research in the area of collagen supplementation is in its preliminary stages. There are currently no approved health claims yet. There are, however, some promising research findings concerning the supplement. However, it has been studied that after our early adulthood, our collagen production declines which contributes to the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, & brown spots. Let alone, a few joint and bone health problems!

What does vitamin C in collagen do for skin health

Vitamin C not only helps contribute in normal collagen production but it also helps in regenerating Vitamin E which helps protect the cells from oxidative stress and at the same time supports the immune system and the growth and repair of body tissues (Source: EFSA).

Studies on the effect of collagen on skin aging, elasticity, hydration and thickness

Collagen is a significant component of the skin. In an extensive study review, the dermatological benefits of collagen were shown. The review included 11 studies and reported that:

"Preliminary results are promising for the short and long-term use of oral collagen supplements for wound healing and skin aging."

"Oral collagen supplements also increase skin elasticity, hydration, and dermal collagen density. Collagen supplementation is generally safe with no reported adverse events."

Studies on the effect of collagen on hair health

According to studies, long-term Collagen supplementation helps regenerate damaged hair and increase hair follicle cell growth. This can help improve hair thickness and resistance to hair damage. The study was evident for healthy women aged 39 to 75 years old (Source: Nutrafoods)

Studies on the effect of collagen on wound Healing

Collagen may help promote skin and wound healing. When our blood vessels are injured, Collagen is exposed and attracts cells called platelets from the blood, which causes blood clotting. This helps to prevent excessive bleeding when the damage occurs. In addition, Collagen also plays a crucial role in supporting the functions of blood vessels.

Studies on the effect of collagen on joint pain

Collagen is the main component of all tendons, ligaments, and our articular (joint) cartilage. This has sparked the idea that collagen supplementation may help to reduce joint pain. 

In one high-quality study, 140 participants that consumed 10g of Collagen each day for 6 months reported reduced joint pain compared to placebo.

Studies on the effect of collagen on bone health

As mentioned, the most widely studied effect of collagen supplements is their role in protecting bone. This is especially important for female athletes and the elderly who are at risk for arthritis and osteoporosis.

A recent systematic review concluded that "Collagen hydrolysate has a positive therapeutic role in osteoporosis and osteoarthritis: potentially increasing bone mineral density, having a protective effect on articular cartilage and, primarily, providing symptomatic relief of pain." 

Similarly, another study showed that 10g each day of collagen relieving symptoms of osteoarthritis while the placebo yielded no effects.
