Benefits of Marine Collagen

This is one of the main proteins in skin, hair, nails, joints, bones, tendons and connective tissue. It contains mainly Type I collagen for skin, hair and nails, but also has small amounts of Type III that also feed softer connective tissues like skin, blood vessels and gums.

It helps skin look fresher, smoother and firmer, especially when taken every day.
It improves dry or creepy looking skin, helping it look fresher, less flat and more plump.
It reduces the look of fine lines, especially when lines are linked with dryness and lower collagen levels.
It gives hair key amino acids, making hair feel stronger, healthier, shinier and less prone to snapping.
It helps nails grow stronger, break less and hold length better.
It can also be useful when joints feel creaky, stiff or worn from age, exercise or everyday use, because collagen is needed for cartilage, tendons and ligaments.

Collagen levels naturally fall with age, sun damage, smoking, alcohol, stress, high sugar, poor sleep and low protein intake can speed this up.

For best results, collagen needs to be taken daily and given time. It is a long-term supplement, not a quick fix.

How Marine Collagen Works

1. Getting Collagen Absorbed

The problem with collagen supplements is that they need to have a small enough molecular size to get to your cells.

Eating fish or meat gives the body large intact proteins that digestion dismantles into a number of amino acids. They may not end up in the body as collagen.

Hydrolysed means that the collagen peptides are broken into very small absorbable fragments. These survive digestion and appear in the bloodstream.

2. Triggers Collagen Production

Once absorbed, these fragments act as signalling molecules that stimulate

fibroblasts in the skin and
chondrocytes in cartilage

to make fresh structural collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. They act on the TGF-β/Smad pathways.

They signal cells to increase their own output rather than being used as building blocks.

Types of Collagen

Marine collagen is mainly Type I collagen, the main collagen type found in skin, hair, nails, bones, tendons and ligaments.

Type III is more associated with bovine collagen and is also found in skin, joints and connective tissue

Collagen Declines With Age

From the mid-twenties, the body produces roughly 1 to 1.5 per cent less of this structural protein annually.

By 40, production has dropped 20 to 30 per cent.

After menopause, the decline accelerates sharply, with women losing up to 30 per cent of skin-based protein in just five years.

UV exposure, smoking, sugar, and stress compound this natural slowdown.

Fine lines, joint stiffness, and brittle nails from the thirties onwards are visible signs of this process.

Research on Marine Collagen

The Proksch et al. 2014 study found significant improvements in skin elasticity after 4 to 8 weeks of daily supplementation with 2.5 to 5 grams of hydrolysed marine fragments.

The Asserin et al. 2015 study reported increased skin hydration and density.

When to Take Vital Proteins Marine Collagen

There is no strict rule on timing. Morning coffee is the most popular choice, but it works in any drink throughout the day.

The most important thing is consistency: pick a time that works for your routine and stick with it.

What to Expect from Marine Collagen

Skin hydration improvements have been observed at four to six weeks in clinical studies.
Skin elasticity and firmness typically become noticeable after eight to twelve weeks of consistent daily use.
Nail strength tends to improve after twelve to twenty-four weeks.
Hair improvements follow a similar timeline.

These are gradual, cumulative changes that build with daily use over weeks and months. Patience and consistency are the two most important factors in seeing results.
