Overview
Hydrolyzed fish collagen — supplies glycine, proline, and bioactive di/tripeptides for skin and hair.
- Endogenously produced or biosynthesized molecule
- Standardized pharmaceutical- or food-grade supplement
- Combined with cofactors that improve absorption or activity
- Capsule or softgel
- Powder
- Sublingual or buccal
- Liposomal liquid
Mechanism of action
Di/tripeptides (Pro-Hyp, Hyp-Gly) reach dermis and stimulate fibroblast ECM synthesis.
- · Fibroblast signaling
- · Amino acid pool for keratin
Effects on the body
Organ system effects
