Regular collagen is a large protein molecule that the body first has to break down during digestion. In the hydrolysed version, this step has already been done in advance: the protein has been broken down into shorter chains — peptides. This is the form contained in VITATEKA Marine Collagen 10000 mg.
It is important to understand that collagen from a supplement is not ‘delivered directly to the skin’. Once absorbed, it serves as a source of amino acids — above all glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. The body uses these amino acids as building material for its own protein structures: exactly where and in what quantity depends on individual needs and the overall diet.
The product contains type I and type III fish collagen. These types are most characteristic of skin and connective tissue, which is why they are most often included in supplements aimed at the appearance of skin, hair and nails.
The liquid form is convenient because there is no powder to mix — you just measure out the daily serving of 25 ml. The sugar-free version (with sweeteners instead of sugar) suits those who consciously limit sugar in their diet.
