FSS Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen 30% PET

Background:

Between public figures, doctors, friends and family, collagen has become the topic of daily conversation. The idea of improving the skin and lips natural collagen structure or even introducing new collagen through invasive injections is fast become the normal in the anti-aging community. No more, FSS Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen 30% PET consists of fish derived hydrolyzed collagen that offers both excellent nourishing and conditioning benefits in a safe, reliable manner. Collagen used in this raw material is sourced entirely through sustainable green methods and is a byproduct of the fishing industry that would otherwise be considered a waste product.

While collagen is largely used aesthetically in cosmetic surgery, it has many other functional applications. This essential protein comprises one of the strongest components of the cells structural system. As the most abundant protein in the body, constituting an astounding ~25% of total protein content, it would be foolish to ignore when talking about tissue health. Collagen is integral to the composition of cartilage, ligaments, tendons, bone and teeth, while it additionally provides tensile strength to various body tissues such as the skin, where it determines strength and elasticity.

Science:

Collagen is created by fibroblasts, specialized cells found in the dermal layer of the skin. Fibroblasts are responsible for the production of collagen, elastin, and fibronectin that act as the structural support beams within the skin. Fibroblasts synthesize collagen within the cell and release it through exocytosis, a process by which molecules diffuse through the cell membrane. Once outside the cell, the collagen molecules will self-assemble, creating the same structures found in skin. This extracellular matrix is run on a negative feedback loop, or multiple processes controlling one another. As collagen degradation occurs, byproducts/building blocks of collagen begin to accumulate. These byproducts bind to fibroblasts and essentially indicate that collagen is decreasing, and we need new collagen, thus stimulating production. This new collagen production, decrease in byproducts leads to lower collagen production and the process comes full circle.

Benefits:

Collagen synthesis is a process that slows down as we age. When collagen production fades and its support abilities decline, the skin becomes loose and saggy, causing wrinkles. By restoring some of the collagen content in the skin, the appearance of wrinkles is decreased and skin has a smoother, tighter look and feel. FSS Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen 30% PET may be used in variety of skin, hair and personal care applications to capitalize on the benefits associated with collagen. Additionally, marine collagen is capitalizing on what is arguably the most profound trend in cosmetics in the last decade. Collagen, particularly sourced from fish has been a heavily researched and documented material for increasing collagen synthesis in addition to having the other benefits of traditional topical collagen treatments.
