Collagen peptides, whether ingested orally or administered topically, have positive effects on health and beauty. Collagen type I is vital for the elasticity, flexibility and strength of skin, tendons and ligaments, but also for the cornea, cartilage, bones, blood vessels and intestine. Seagarden is a Norwegian brand specializing in high-quality marine collagen sourced sustainably from wild-caught fish, offering pure and bioavailable peptides designed to support overall well-being.
Fish-derived collagen peptides are receiving increasing attention due to their favourable characteristics and lower consumer reservations compared to other mammalian-derived ingredients.
Marine collagen, primarily composed of type I collagen, closely resembles the predominant collagen type found in human skin, bones, and tendons. This makes it especially relevant for both nutricosmetic and musculoskeletal health. Marine collagen is typically derived from fish skin, scales, or bones, and has gained popularity due to its high bioavailability — a result of its lower molecular weight peptides compared to bovine or porcine collagen. This allows for more efficient digestion, absorption, and systemic distribution.
Scientific studies have shown that marine collagen peptides can improve skin elasticity, hydration, and dermal collagen density, which are key markers of youthful appearance.
Beyond skin health, marine collagen also supports musculoskeletal health. It may aid in reducing joint pain and improving joint function, particularly in aging populations or individuals with osteoarthritis. This is partly due to the peptides' ability to stimulate chondrocyte and osteoblast activity, supporting cartilage and bone regeneration.
Seagarden collagen type I is derived and contains bioactive oligopeptides obtained from the skin of cod, white fish and salmon. The collagen is hydrolyzed into short bioactive oligopeptides that can be immediately absorbed by the body.
Seagarden is the leading manufacturer of high-quality raw materials of marine origin. One of the world's largest manufacturers offering 100% natural products for nutrition as dietary supplements and functional food applications.

Recently, the market of dietary supplements in the beauty category has been developing extremely dynamically. But do they actually work?
To understand how energy is produced in the body, and how we can help it to do so, it is good to start by looking at the biological processes.
The needs of humans and animals overlap and have potential for development in a growth market.
