What is collagen?

Collagen is a protein, naturally present throughout the body, which ensures the elasticity and regeneration of skin tissue. From the age of 25, its concentration decreases, leading to the appearance of the first signs of skin aging: a dull complexion, more pronounced features, localized wrinkles and fine lines, and slower skin recovery. 

Long reserved for aesthetic medicine, collagen has for several years been the star active ingredient recognized for its anti-aging properties, capable of slowing skin aging. Collagen is regularly found in creams and marine collagen cures, which stimulate internal collagen production. And the benefits of this protein are as manifold for the skin as they are for the body and hair.

What are the benefits of collagen?

Marine collagen-based supplements act by reinforcing the skin's structure from within, promoting hydration, elasticity and a radiant complexion. But the benefits of collagen are numerous, not only for the skin but also for the body, joints, bones, hair and nails.

On the skin :

  • Improves skin elasticity for a plumping effect

  • Reduces signs of aging such as wrinkles

  • It reduces skin imperfections

 

On the body 

  • Reduces joint pain

  • It strengthens nails, preventing splitting

  • Boosts hair health and shine 

 

At what age should I start taking collagen? 

Natural collagen production gradually declines from the age of 25-30, and then increases from the age of 45 onwards, since at this age, we lose up to 30% of collagen per year. Collagen supplementation is therefore recommended from the age of 30 to prevent the signs of aging, maintain skin hydration and radiance, and protect against the effects of stress, pollution and external aggressions. From the age of 40, a complete marine collagen-based treatment will target the repair and revitalization of skin and joint structures, restoring the skin's firmness and elasticity, rather than simply preventing them. From the age of 50 onwards, collagen becomes indispensable to alleviate the muscular and skeletal symptoms that add to the signs of skin aging, maintain joint health, improve flexibility and reduce pain associated with joint disorders.
