Hydrolysed Marine Collagen Powder 300g Plus Essential Vitamins is a convenient high strength collagen powder, easily taken as as a liquid drink shot. Research has shown that healthy collagen levels help skin hydration; support skin tone, radiance and structure; and help promote healthy and young looking skin. Hydrolysed marine collagen is the type that has been used most successfully in research to show the health support effects of collagen on skin, bone and tissue. Reducing levels of collagen in the skin is the main reason for the formation of lines and wrinkles. It is thought that from the age of 25, your body's collagen levels deplete at a rate of 1.5% per annum. This means that by the age of 35 your body will have lost 15% and by 45, 30%. It is at this stage that you really start to notice a change in your skin's elasticity and texture. Healthy collagen balance in the body is therefore highly desirable, and crucial, if your looks and facial structure are to be maintained. The issue with collagen molecules is that they are enormous, so unless they’ve been hydrolysed, they are simply too big to be absorbed when ingested, and thus never reach the dermis, which is the underlying layer of the skin where collagen lives. Troo Health Hydrolysed collagen absorbs quickly into the body and is allowed to make it's away to the areas it is needed most.
