Premium Collagen Shots is a dietary supplement of hydrolysed marine collagen in the form of drinkable sticks, enriched with hydrolysed cartilage, hyaluronic acid, and vitamins.
It is designed to significantly increase your intake of collagen, the most important protein for maintaining the skin, joints, and connective tissue. The product’s other synergistic nutrients help ensure its optimal efficacy in its various areas of activity (beauty and anti-wrinkle, joint comfort, muscle recovery...).
Composition and benefits of our liquid hydrolysed marine collagen
Premium Collagen Shots contains five carefully-selected ingredients:
- collagen peptides: the most abundant protein in the body, collagen is responsible for maintaining the structure, firmness, and elasticity of the skin, strengthening cartilage and reducing inflammation to support joints preserving bones, hair, nails, connective tissue of the muscles and organs, etc. (1-3) There are 28 different types of collagen, but the most important are type 1 (found mainly in skin and joints), type 2 (primarily in joint cartilage) and type 3 (muscles and blood vessels). Collagen is, therefore, a well-known ingredient in cosmetic products and anti-ageing or joint comfort supplements. Our hydrolysed type 1 and 3 marine collagen accounts for more than 98% of the collagen in the product. It is complemented by Colartix®, an extract of hydrolysed bovine cartilage, which provides type 1, 2 and 3 collagen;
- hyaluronic acid: a substance naturally present in the human body and capable of retaining water, hyaluronic acid hydrates the skin and maintains its suppleness. It also acts as a lubricant and natural shock absorber within synovial fluid, making it essential for joint health and function. Hyaluronic acid is also widely used in cosmetology, dermatology and orthopaedics (4-5);
- vitamin C: a natural antioxidant, the most famous of all the vitamins contributes, among other things, to normal collagen formation, amongst others. As we’ve seen, collagen plays an important role in normal skin function (firmness, and elasticity) and cartilage function (cushioning and soothing the joints) (6);
- biotin: known as vitamin B8 or the ‘beauty vitamin’, biotin helps maintain healthy skin by supporting the metabolism of fatty acids, which are essential for maintaining the skin barrier. Biotin also helps maintain healthy hair by stimulating protein metabolism and therefore improving the quality of keratin, the main protein in hair (7);
- and vitamin E: this vitamin helps protect cells against oxidative stress (a key factor in ageing, especially in the appearance of wrinkles), by neutralising unstable molecules known as free radicals (8-9).
The six benefits of the best drinkable marine collagen
Our Premium Collagen Shots stands out in six points, making it the best liquid-form hydrolysed marine collagen supplement to drink:
- more than 98% marine collagen: our collagen is almost exclusively marine-origin, obtained from carefully selected wild fish skin. Marine collagen is recognised for its superior bioavailability (because it is closer to the human protein), its high content of bioactive peptides, its more environmentally-friendly origin, its outstanding safety, and its more pleasant smell and taste (10);
- purified, hydrolysed, and highly-bioavailable collagen: our marine collagen is purified and extracted by enzymatic hydrolysis, a process that shrinks the collagen molecules into smaller, lighter peptides, making them more absorbable by the body across the intestinal barrier. The marine collagen peptides in our product have an average molecular weight of 2,000 Da (for ‘Daltons’, a molecular weight unit of measurement), a guarantee of their reduced size and therefore exceptional assimilation;
- complemented by the well-known extract Colartix®: the addition of Colartix®, the patented and renowned extract of hydrolysed bovine cartilage extract, expands the range of collagen types offered. It provides you with type 1, 2, and 3 bovine collagen, weighing between 1,200 and 3,000 Da maximum:
- a powerful dose: this supplement delivers a total of 10,000 mg of collagen peptides a day from one daily stick. This safe, higher dose ensures optimal results (11-12);
- a unique, enriched composition: the addition of hyaluronic acid and 3 vitamins makes our liquid collagen supplement unique, offering multiple benefits and outstanding efficacy in different areas (skin, joints, exercise...);
- in the form of drinkable sticks: its liquid state and packaging in the form of sticks is particularly practical. You can easily take your Premium Collagen Shots with you wherever you go and you don’t even need a glass of water to take them.
