"Plant collagen is the best source of collagen", "Collagen is only useful for the skin", "Collagen cream and collagen supplement have the same effects"... Wrong, wrong and wrong!
There's a lot of misinformation out there about collagen. We'll help you sort out what's true from what's false.
There's no such thing as plant collagen. In fact, collagen is only produced by animal organisms, both terrestrial and marine. Marine collagen, which comes from the skin, cartilage or scales of fish, is the most bioavailable, i.e. the best assimilated by the body. This allows the body to benefit more deeply from its advantages.

Collagen is not only present in your skin.
It's true that collagen is renowned for its benefits on the skin. In fact, it accounts for 70% of the skin's dry weight, and is present in large quantities in your epidermis and dermis.
On the other hand, it's important to remember that collagen is the most important protein in the body's protein mass. It is found in all connective tissues : in other words, it is present in muscle fibers (myocytes), bones, ligaments, in the cartilage of every joint, and so on. In short, collagen is an essential component for your mobility.
Collagen cream does not target the same needs as collagen supplementation.
While the former acts mainly on the surface to help reduce dryness and fine lines and wrinkles, the latter has a much more in-depth effect.
Working from the inside out, collagen in dietary supplement form benefits your whole body, while collagen in cream form offers local action.
Native collagen is a macro-protein, i.e. a large protein. Its large volume makes it difficult for the body to assimilate.
Hydrolysis reduces the molecular weight of collagen, creating peptides (small, low-molecular-weight proteins) which are better assimilated by the body.
Dielen marine collagen peptides benefit from an enzymatic hydrolysis process developed and patented by the Laboratory. This process breaks down marine proteins into small, low-molecular-weight peptides. These peptides are said to be bioavailable, i.e. assimilable by the body, and bioactive, i.e.they have more than just a nutritional role. Their benefits for the body have been demonstrated in 7 in vitro studies and 9 clinical trials, 4 of which have been published in international scientific journals.
