"While some studies suggest benefits for skin and joints, more research is needed to confirm these effects and determine optimal dosages. Results can vary."
Marine collagen is a type of collagen derived from fish. It is broken down into smaller peptides, which are believed to be easily absorbed by the body and used to support skin, joint, and bone health. Supplementation may lead to improved skin elasticity, reduced joint pain, and stronger bones, but individual results can vary.
