How is Landish marine collagen absorbed and used by the body?Updated a month ago

Landish wild Canadian marine collagen is designed to be easily absorbed and put to work where your body needs it most. Here's how it happens, step by step:

1. It starts with hydrolysis

Our collagen is enzymatically hydrolyzed, this means it's broken down into small collagen peptides (short amino acid chains), making it much easier for your body to absorb.

2. Peptides pass through your gut wall

These tiny peptides are small enough to cross the intestinal barrier and enter the bloodstream. Full-size collagen molecules cannot do this.

3. Circulation through the bloodstream

Once in the blood, Landish marine collagen peptides travel to tissues like skin, joints, bones, and cartilage — where your body needs collagen the most.

4. They act as building blocks

Your body uses these peptides (especially glycine-proline-hydroxyproline, known as gly-pro-hyp) to rebuild and strengthen collagen structures.

5. They also act as messengers

Beyond being raw material, certain peptides signal cells like fibroblasts to boost natural collagen production, helping to improve skin elasticity, joint health, and more.

In short: Landish marine collagen is hydrolyzed for high bioavailability, efficiently absorbed, and supports your body's own collagen-building process — both as a material and as a trigger.
