NeoCell Marine Collagen 120 Capsules

The dietary supplement Neocell Marine Collagen Type 1&3 contains high-quality marine collagen, which has a structure similar to human collagen and is characterized by high bioavailability and easy assimilation in the tissue.

Collagen is the basic building block of connective tissue. This tissue includes bone tissue, cartilage, adipose tissue, but also blood and lymph. Collagen is responsible for maintaining the suppleness, elasticity, and hydration of the skin. It also ensures the proper functioning of blood vessels and prevents them from bursting and bleeding. Furthermore, it supports the smooth functioning of the joints. It also influences the proper healing of wounds and the fusion of broken bones.

Fibrillar collagen type I is the most common structural protein and is found in most tissues and organs. It predominates in mature tendons and ligaments. It gives them load-bearing mechanical properties.

Type I collagen promotes angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from an already existing vascular system. This process is a key element of embryogenesis and tissue regeneration.

Type III collagen is found in stretchable connective tissue such as skin, muscles, and the vascular system. It is also found in healing wounds, where it forms the fibers of reticular connective tissue.

The addition of vitamins and minerals increases the value of the product. Vitamin C and copper are antioxidants that protect against the harmful effects of oxidative stress on cells and tissues. They thus help to slow down the aging processes of the body. Ascorbic acid reduces the feeling of tiredness and fatigue [ID 139]. B vitamins support the function of the nervous system and contribute to the maintenance of normal cognitive functions. In addition, they are involved in the synthesis of erythrocytes. Magnesium and zinc are responsible for the normal course of protein synthesis and cell division. The former also contributes to the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. (ID 239)

In summary, Neocell Marine Collagen Type 1&3 is a dietary supplement that offers a high-quality hydrolyzed peptide of collagen types I and III, derived from marine fish. This collagen has the greatest structural similarity to human collagen and is also easily absorbed. The product has the advantage of containing a range of vitamins and minerals. The dietary supplement from the Neocell brand is gluten-free; it is also free from soy, lactose, and gluten.
