Step-by-Step: How Marine Collagen Is Absorbed
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. That’s something full-size collagen molecules can’t do.
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.
