NeoCell Marine Collagen 120 capsules

The dietary supplement Neocell Marine Collagen Type 1&3 contains high-quality marine collagen, whose structure is similar to that of human collagen and is characterized by high bioavailability and easy assimilation into tissues.

Collagen is the basic element of connective tissue. This tissue includes bone tissue, cartilage, adipose tissue as well as blood and lymph. Collagen is responsible for maintaining the softness, elasticity, and hydration of the skin. It also ensures the proper functioning of blood vessels, preventing their rupture and the leakage of blood. Furthermore, it contributes to the proper functioning of the joints. It also influences wound healing and the reconstruction of broken bones.

Type I fibrillar collagen is the most abundant 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, that is, the formation of new blood vessels from a preexisting vascular system. This process is a key element of embryogenesis and tissue regeneration.

Type III collagen is found in extensible connective tissues 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 therefore help to slow down the aging processes of the body. Ascorbic acid reduces the sensation of fatigue [ID 139]. B vitamins support the functioning of the nervous system, influencing the maintenance of normal cognitive functions. In addition, they participate in the synthesis of erythrocytes. Magnesium and zinc are responsible for the normal process of protein synthesis and cell division. Furthermore, the former 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 type I and III collagen, 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 number of vitamins and minerals. The supplement from the Neocell brand contains no gluten, soy, lactose, or gluten.
