Hydrolysed marine collagen Peptan is recognised as the world reference for the extraction and quality of collagen peptides. Made from the skin of selected wild white fish, chosen for their freshness, this type I collagen is the most abundant form found in the human body, present in the skin, tendons, ligaments and bones. The enzymatic hydrolysis process produces low molecular weight peptides (under 2,000 Daltons), guaranteeing rapid absorption and high bioavailability. The resulting powder is very fine, easily soluble and virtually odourless, making it easy to add to everyday drinks.

Marine collagen peptides are bioactive: they do more than supply amino acids, they directly stimulate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin in the skin. This action helps improve skin hydration, elasticity and firmness. At joint level, collagen peptides support cartilage nutrition and help maintain joint flexibility. Athletes benefit from support for tendons and ligaments stressed by exercise. Over 70 clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Peptan peptides on skin, joints and sports nutrition.

Peptan is the world’s leading brand for collagen peptides. The extraction process relies on controlled enzymatic hydrolysis of the skin of wild white fish, selected for their exceptional freshness. After extraction, the collagen is purified, hydrolysed and deodorised, producing a very fine powder that is easily soluble with virtually no taste or smell. Traceability is 100% assured, from catch to finished product, in line with European food safety regulations. MSC certification attests to sustainable fishing practices that respect the marine ecosystem.

Take 1 scoop per day (about 10.4 g), dissolved in a glass of water, fruit juice or any other drink; the scoop is included in the tub. Stir well until fully dissolved. It can be taken at any time of day, ideally in the morning on an empty stomach or before bed. For maintenance, one daily dose is enough; for greater needs (heavily used joints, sports recovery), 2 scoops per day can be taken. A course of 2 to 3 months is recommended, renewable.

This product contains fish-derived collagen and is not recommended for people allergic to fish or seafood. Keep away from moisture and reseal the tub well after use.

What is the difference between marine collagen and beef collagen?

Peptan marine collagen is type I, the most abundant in skin, tendons and bones. Beef collagen can be type I or type II depending on the source (skin or cartilage). Marine collagen generally has a lower molecular weight, favouring absorption.

Where can I buy Peptan marine collagen in Paris?

At Herba Barona, 10 rue Théophile Roussel, Paris 12. Open Tuesday to Saturday, 9:30 am to 6:30 pm. The shop offers several collagen references (marine, organic beef, type II) with personalised advice.

From what age should I start taking collagen?

Collagen production starts to decline from age 25 and accelerates after 40, by about 1% per year. Marine collagen supplementation can therefore be relevant from age 30-35 as prevention, and becomes particularly recommended after 40 for skin, joints and connective tissue.
