Type I Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen: Elasticity, Hydration and Joint Resistance – Bioactive Peptides For Skin, Bones, Tendons and Hair/Nails

Type I Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen Peptides, 400 mg, Swanson provides type I hydrolyzed fish collagen peptides (tilapia and pangasius) 400 mg per capsule – a concentrated collagen source with superior bioavailability due to the hydrolysis process, which fragments the molecule into peptides with reduced molecular weight. Type I collagen represents the predominant "scaffold" of skin, bones, tendons and ligaments, supporting elasticity, hydration, firmness and mechanical resistance of tissues. In an active lifestyle, exposure to oxidative stress, hormonal variations and aging reduce endogenous collagen synthesis; targeted peptide intake offers the raw material necessary for structural repair and maintenance.

Marine collagen stands out with a naturally rich profile in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, key amino acids for fibroblasts and extracellular architecture. Through reduced peptide size, the product supports efficient absorption and utilization, easily integrating into a routine oriented toward skin appearance, joint mobility and musculoskeletal system resilience.

Detailed Benefits of Type I Marine Collagen Peptides

• Elasticity and firmness for skin

Type I collagen is the dominant structural component of the dermis. Bioactive peptide intake supports collagen network density and fiber organization.
✅ Contributes to visible elasticity and tone
✅ Promotes texture velveting and uniformity
✅ Supports hydrated skin appearance with firmer contour

• Skin hydration and "plumping" effect

Peptides promote hyaluronic acid synthesis at dermal level, supporting water retention.
✅ Increased radiance and "full" skin sensation
✅ Comfort in periods with dry air or variable exposures
✅ Support for more efficient skin barrier

• Joint resistance, tendons and ligaments

Type I collagen confers traction and stability to connective structures. Peptides function as substrate for repair and maintenance.
✅ More comfortable mobility in daily activities
✅ Support for repetitive demands (walking, training)
✅ Contributes to tendon and ligament resilience
 

• Support for bones – collagen matrix

Bone is not just mineral; the type I collagen network is essential for its elasticity and toughness.
✅ Support for bone microarchitecture
✅ Promotes collagen-mineral interface (calcium, phosphate)
✅ Contributes to long-term mechanical durability

• Hair and nails – healthy appearance, coherent structure

Collagen offers key amino acids used in keratinization and maintaining hair cuticle and nail plate.
✅ Shine and suppleness for hair
✅ Increased resistance to breakage for nails
✅ Support for growth and groomed appearance

• Recovery after exertion and muscle comfort

Glycine and proline contribute to repair of connective tissues involved in movement.
✅ Faster reset after workouts
✅ Comfort in periods with increased volume or intensity
✅ Support for physical progress continuity

• Increased bioavailability through hydrolysis

The hydrolysis process produces peptides with reduced molecular weight, easy to absorb and distribute.
✅ Efficient nutrient utilization
✅ Predictability in daily integration
✅ Suitable for long-term routines

• Optimal amino acid profile for extracellular matrix

Type I marine collagen concentrates glycine, proline, hydroxyproline – the essential triad of fibrogenesis.
✅ Raw material for robust fibers
✅ Support for physiological cross-linking
✅ Contributes to connective network stability

• Compatibility with modern lifestyle

Exposures to UV, pollutants, screens and stress affect skin and connective homeostasis. Peptides offer background support.
✅ Better resistance to environmental factors
✅ Maintenance of youthful skin appearance
✅ Support for aesthetic well-being

• Comfort for back, neck and stressed areas

Passive structures (discs, ligaments) benefit from collagen-specific amino acid intake.
✅ Support in static or dynamic activities
✅ Felt ease at day's end
✅ Contributes to more comfortable posture

• Synergy with vitamin C and hyaluronate (from diet or other supplements)

Vitamin C is a cofactor for proline/lysine hydroxylation, critical in collagen maturation; hyaluronic acid maximizes dermal hydration.
✅ Promotes efficient collagenesis
✅ Supports elasticity and tone
✅ Potentiates skin-level results

• Small molecular weight – excellent digestibility

Small peptides cross the intestinal barrier more easily, reaching target tissues.
✅ Predictable absorption
✅ Rapid systemic distribution
✅ Simple integration into daily routine

• Skin-joints-bones axis: an integrated approach

When the dermis, tendons and bone matrix receive the correct substrate, entire biomechanics function coherently, and external appearance reflects internal state.
✅ Dermal elasticity and visible hydration
✅ Joint mobility and stability
✅ Bone tenacity and structural resilience

Type I Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen Peptides, 400 mg, Swanson offers bioactive peptides with high bioavailability for skin elasticity, hydration, joint resistance and bone support. With type I hydrolyzed marine collagen (tilapia and pangasius) 400 mg per capsule, the product naturally integrates into a routine oriented toward structural care and daily vitality, from skin and hair/nails to tendons, ligaments and bones.
