Hydrolysed marine collagen for skin elasticity, joint integrity, and bone density
600mg Naticol® hydrolysed marine collagen peptides per capsule with Vitamin C 12mg—enzymatically hydrolysed into bioavailable dipeptides and tripeptides that bypass molecular size barriers. Collagen molecules in their native form are too large for intestinal absorption; hydrolysis enables systemic bioavailability to skin dermis, joints, and bones where needed most.
Why This Formula
✔ Naticol® marine collagen (Type 1 dominant) hydrolysed to peptides 2-5 kDa for gut absorption
✔ Specific 600mg dose shown in clinical trials to reduce age-related skin and bone changes
✔ Natural amino acid profile includes glycine, proline, hydroxyproline for collagen synthesis
✔ Vitamin C 12mg supports cross-linking in newly synthesized collagen
✔ Fish-sourced, not bovine—superior sustainability and lower contamination riskWho It's For
Women over 40 concerned with skin elasticity and anti-aging support will see measurable improvements in skin firmness and hydration. Athletes and active individuals benefit from cartilage and ligament support. Anyone seeking to maintain bone density and joint cushioning will appreciate collagen's structural role.

It is thought that from the age of 25, your body loses collagen at a rate of 1.5% per annum, so by the age of 35, your body will have lost 15% and by 45, 30%. This is when you really start to notice a change in your skin's elasticity and texture. Proper collagen balance in the body is therefore highly desirable, and crucial, if your looks and facial structure are to be maintained.
A 2012 study by Guillerminet F et al indicates that supplementation with hydrolysed collagen can reduce bone loss whilst supporting healthy bone mineral density.
Collagen Type 1 is found throughout the body except in cartilaginous tissues, making it the most abundant form collagen of the human body. As Type 1 collagen is responsible for healthy skin and bones it is by far the most abundant type of collagen in the body - making up over 90%. Typically type 1 collagen is used to support healthy, youthful skin.
Why Hydrolysed Marine Collagen?
The bioavailability of a collagen supplement, or the percentage of the substance that is actually absorbed into your body when ingested, is critical to the effectiveness of the supplement. Bioavailability largely determines the efficacy of any nutrient you ingest.
The problem with collagen molecules is that they are huge, so unless they’ve been hydrolysed, they are simply too big to be absorbed when ingested, and thus never reach the dermis, which is the underlying layer of the skin where collagen resides. xSpan Labs Hydrolysed collagen absorbs quickly into the body and is allowed to make it's away to the areas it is need most.
