Collagen: The key to youthful skin
Why is it essential to take collagen? Which collagen is best? These are questions we often hear. We dive into the world of collagen and take a look at everything.
What is collagen?
Collagen is a natural protein produced by our body. It plays an essential role in maintaining youthful and radiant skin. This glue-forming protein is an important building material of our connective tissue, and is beneficial for various aspects in our body and health such as:
-
Improvement of skin elasticity
After taking collagen peptides for 90 days, skin elasticity visibly increased by 7.5%
-
Improvement of wrinkles and fine lines
After 12 weeks, the crow's feet were significantly reduced.
-
Inhibits UV-B-induced skin damage
This means that collagen peptides as a supplement are beneficial in inhibiting skin damage and photoaging caused by UV-B.
-
Enhancement of hair
After 90 days, we noticed significant improvements in overall hair volume, scalp coverage and hair thickness.
-
Promotes wound healing
Sea bass collagen peptides can accelerate the healing of skin wounds by reducing inflammation, promoting granulation tissue such as capillary proliferation and fibroblast proliferation, and accelerating collagen formation.
-
Improvement of bone density (Osteoporosis)
Viscollagen peptides can promote bone cell proliferation and type 1 collagen secretion, and the smaller the collagen peptide molecule, the more obvious the effect of promoting collagen secretion into cells.
-
Improvement arthritis
It shows that collagen peptide can effectively improve the clinical symptoms and function of middle-aged and elderly female patients with knee osteoarthritis, and enhance quality of life.

Collagen loss
As we age, the production of collagen decreases. The collagen present in the body will decrease by 15% every year after the age of 25. This leads to visible signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin.
Which type of collagen supplement is best?
When choosing a collagen supplement, it is important to pay attention to the source and quality of the collagen. We can divide these sources into three different groups namely:
-
Bovine collagen:
this most widely used source of collagen is obtained from bones and skin of cattle.
-
Porcine collagen:
In this process, collagen is extracted from the skin and bones of pigs. This often occurs in the form of gelatin.
-
Viscollagen:
this collagen is obtained from the scales of fish, it is a form of collagen similar to that found in our own bodies.
We prefer fish collagen because of its similarity to the collagen in our own bodies and the source of fish scales. Therefore, we have formulated our own fish collagen! With careful processing techniques and attention to quality, we have developed a fish collagen supplement that contributes to the health of our skin, joints and connective tissues.
Our revolutionary fish collagen
- Viscollagen peptides refer to a specific form of fish collagen patented for its unique properties.
- Our peptides are characterized by a very high absorption efficiency (95%) with a very low molecular weight of >500 Dalton (DA). In other words, the tripeptides have a short line structure and consist of 2-8 amino acids. This structure allows the peptides to be directly absorbed by the human body and used for the synthesis of the required collagen.
Collagen tripeptide
- Collagen tripeptide (CPT) is obtained from collagen by a process in which the larger collagen molecules are broken down into smaller peptides.
- The composition of these patented fish collagen peptides consists of three specific amino acids: glycine (Gly), proline (Pro) and hydroxyproline (Hyp).
- These tripeptides are believed to be more easily absorbed by the body compared to intact collagen molecules, meaning they can be absorbed directly through the small intestine without being broken down.
- They are then transported through the blood to the skin, where they effectively contribute to the synthesis of dermal collagen. This results in a higher absorption rate compared to ordinary collagen peptides.
- An important characteristic of fish collagen peptides is that they have a high content (in our collagen this is 12.87%) of hydroxyproline and proline. This contributes to the stability and processing performance of small peptides, making them suitable for various production processing situations.
- They retain the basic properties and functional characteristics of fabrics, allowing them to be used effectively in different environments.
