Doctor’s Best Fish Collagen contains Type I collagen peptide from Naticol Fish Collagen. These microgranulated peptides are easily dispersible, providing efficient digestibility and absorption for healthy skin and joints.*
Studies have shown that marine collagen as a dietary supplement, helps to contribute increased skin moisture, elasticity and firmness, resulting in smoother and healthier skin.* This product contains no artificial color, is virtually tasteless and odorless.
Helps improve nail and skin health*
Collagen type I is well known for its role in maintaining the integral of the dermis. Aging skin is related to the reduction of collagen type I.3,4 Recently, in Japan and other countries, gelatin, partially hydrolyzed collagen and peptides, manufactured from fish skin and scales, have been used for their skin health benefits.*5,6,7,8
Helps improve joint and bone health*
Collagen-based peptides represent functional peptides that possess multiple physiological activities. For many years, folk medicines have mentioned the positive influence of collagenous preparation as being beneficial not only for skin health but also for joint and bone health.*8 Daily dose of collagen peptide of 10 g may promote joint health *6,9,10
Many in vivo studies were conducted to demonstrate the potential of marine collagen in improving skin health. In particular, one of them showed that fish-scale collagen peptides can stimulate fibroblast cell proliferation and procollagen synthesis.11 The long-term effects of marine collagen hydrolysate on skin aging was studied in Sprague-Dawley male rats. The results showed that fish collagen hydrolysate promotes the synthesis of type I collagen. This finding may highlight the role of fish collagen supplement in promoting beneficial effects on skin aging.*12 A double-blind placebo-controlled clinical study conducted in 25 female volunteers evaluated the effect of daily oral intake of a collagen hydrolysate mixture (including 5 g of fish type I collagen hydrolysate) on skin health. The results showed that moisture content and visco elastic properties of the skin improved. This highlights the positive effect of marine collagen supplements on skin health.*5 A double-blind placebo-controlled 4-week study analyzed the oral in take of fish scale collagen hydrolysate (2.5 g, 5 g and 10 g), pig skin collagen hydrolysate (10 g) or placebo among 214 female volunteers. The results showed a dose-dependent improvement in groups taking fish scale collagen hydrolysate (2.5 g -10 g). There was a major change following oral intake of collagen hydrolysate in the moisture content of the outer layer of the skin.13
A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial was performed to study the effect of oral supplementation with fish-derived collagen peptide (5 g daily) on human skin health in Japanese adult males. The results showed that fish collagen had very beneficial effect on human skin.*14
