FINE COLLAGEN with VANILLA FLAVOR is 100% derived from fish skin, which is better absorbed by the human body. Traditional animal varieties like pork, beef and chicken have to be taken with caution, because of known diseases such as avian flu, mad cow disease (BSE) and foot and mouth disease. According to the above shown study it has been proven, that fish collagen is better absorbed by the human body.

FINE COLLAGEN with VANILLA FLAVOR corresponds exactly to that protein (collagen type 1), which is important for the building structure and elasticity of skin. Fish collagen type 1 contains out of 20 amino acids whereas on one hand ⅓ of amino acids are found as Glycine, Proline, and Hydroxyproline (these three amino acids present the largest proportion of skin collagen). On the other hand around ¼ out of L-Glutamine since over 50% of all free amino acids in the muscle cells consist out of L-Glutamine. They support muscles and prevent them from breakdown, during workout. This amino acid profile of collagen type 1 has a unique structure building effect on the skin.

A study in this regard has been worked out by the Elsevier Science Ireland in association with Spanish authors of the Nuclear Medicine Department, the School of Medicine and the University of Barcelona.
 

In summary it can be noted, that there is a correlation between the significant decrease of collagen peptides in skin and changes in bone mass for people over forty years old and especially for women after the menopause.

Among the most common and specific aging changes are called the mechanical properties of tissues. These properties are for the skin, bones and organs essentially determined by the connective tissue. Collagen is the most complete protein in connective tissue and is widespread in the human body.
