Marine Collagen & Vitamin C. Why choose it?
Marine Collagen & Vitamin C from EssentialSeries is a food supplement in tablet form made from fish collagen peptides and vitamin C.
A formula designed for those looking for an alternative to bovine collagen, with hydrolysed fish collagen peptides and added vitamin C. The latter contributes to normal collagen formation, which is key for the normal function of bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth. In addition, vitamin C helps protect cells from oxidative damage.
In tablet format, with no strong taste or smell, it's a convenient option to support your daily routine.
Marine origin of collagen
A high-quality alternative to bovine collagen
Marine collagen is a popular choice for those who prefer a more traditional alternative to bovine-sourced collagen, which you’ll find at HSN, aiming to avoid exposure to the fish allergen present in marine collagen.
This formula uses hydrolysed fish collagen peptides, a source recognised for its efficient absorption profile thanks to its low molecular weight. Its tablet format lacks the characteristic taste and smell of other marine collagen presentations (such as powders), making it a practical, high-quality alternative for those seeking a different format without compromising on quality.
Hydrolysed for superior absorption
The collagen in this formula is provided in the form of peptides obtained through hydrolysis, a process that breaks down long protein chains into smaller, more easily absorbed structures. This low molecular weight enhances its bioavailability, allowing the body to make better use of it. This characteristic makes hydrolysed peptides the preferred form for those looking for an optimal supplement in their daily care routine thanks to the use of high-quality collagen.
Vitamin C: the essential cofactor
No functional collagen without vitamin C
Vitamin C plays a vital role in collagen formation as it acts as an enzymatic cofactor during key stages of its synthesis. Its presence is necessary for the body to produce collagen properly. That’s why this formula combines collagen peptides with vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth.
Additional antioxidant support
As well as supporting normal collagen formation, vitamin C helps protect cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. This antioxidant effect is particularly relevant in the context of ageing, environmental exposure or intense physical activity. Including vitamin C in the formula not only enhances its structural value, but also provides added support for everyday wellbeing.
A practical, taste-free format
One of the main drawbacks of powdered marine collagen is its strong taste and smell, characteristic of its origin, which can make it difficult to consume regularly for those sensitive to its sulphurous aftertaste.
This tablet formula avoids that issue, offering a convenient, ready-to-use and completely neutral-tasting alternative. Thanks to its pre-dosed format, it provides a precise amount each time, making it easy to integrate into any routine without altering flavours or requiring mixing.
An ideal option for those looking for the benefits of marine collagen without the hassle.
Comprehensive support
Collagen is one of the most abundant structural proteins in the human body, found in tissues as diverse as bones, cartilage, skin, gums and tendons. It has a widely recognised structural function in the body. In our formula, we have focused on providing top-quality collagen peptides alongside a compound that is often overlooked but is key: vitamin C.
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of bones and cartilage, two tissues that are key for joint and bone health. Its inclusion is especially beneficial for active individuals, athletes, or during life stages where additional nutritional support for bone tissue is needed.
In the dermal sphere, vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin, making it particularly useful in beauty care routines and the ideal complement to a nutricosmetic regimen. Furthermore, its role in protecting cells from oxidative damage can be an added benefit in ageing or environmental exposure contexts.
This combination of marine collagen peptides and vitamin C in a single formula is, therefore, a practical, high-quality all-in-one strategy.
