Marine Collagen - How It Works
How Glutagem® Marine Collagen Works
What is Collagen?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body.
Think of collagen as the body’s natural scaffolding. It provides strength, structure and support to many tissues throughout the body.
-
Where do you find Collagen in the body?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body.
Collagen is found in:
● Skin
● Hair follicles
● Nails
● Bones
● Cartilage
● Tendons
● Ligaments
● Blood vessels
● Muscles
● Gums
● The lining of organs
In fact, collagen accounts for approximately 30% of all protein in the human body.
It is responsible for helping skin appear firm, smooth and youthful while providing strength and flexibility to connective tissues. -
Where Does Marine Collagen Come From?
Marine collagen is collagen sourced from fish.
It is rich in Type I collagen, the primary collagen found in:
● Skin
● Hair
● Nails
● Bones
● Tendons
Type I collagen makes up approximately 90% of the body’s collagen and is the most important collagen type for maintaining healthy-looking skin.
Marine collagen is highly bioavailable and provides important amino acids including:
● Glycine
● Proline
● Hydroxyproline
These amino acids are essential building blocks used by the body to produce and maintain collagen-containing tissues. -
Why Do We Lose Collagen As We Age?
From our mid-20s onwards, collagen production gradually begins to decline.
By the age of 40, collagen production may have fallen significantly compared with younger years.
Several factors accelerate collagen loss:
● Natural ageing
● UV exposure and sun damage
● Smoking
● High sugar diets
● Stress
● Poor sleep
● Pollution
● Hormonal changes
● Menopause
As collagen levels decline, common signs may include:
● Fine lines and wrinkles
● Reduced skin elasticity
● Dry or thinning skin
● Sagging skin
● Brittle nails
● Thinning hair
● Joint stiffness
● Reduced connective tissue strength -
How Does Marine Collagen Work In The Body?
When consumed, collagen is digested into smaller amino acids.
These amino acids are absorbed through the digestive system and transported throughout the body.
Your body then uses them wherever collagen is required, including:
● Skin
● Hair follicles
● Nails
● Bones
● Cartilage
● Tendons
● Ligaments
Fibroblast cells within the skin use these amino acids as raw materials to help support the body’s natural collagen production processes. -

Why Is Collagen Important?
Collagen plays an essential role in:
● Skin Structure
Collagen helps support skin firmness, elasticity and resilience.
● Hair & Nails
Collagen provides amino acids used in the production of keratin, the structural protein that makes up hair and nails.
● Joints & Cartilage
Collagen forms an important component of connective tissues that support movement and flexibility.
● Bones
Collagen provides the structural framework upon which minerals such as calcium are deposited.
● Healthy Ageing
Collagen helps maintain the body’s connective tissue network that supports skin, joints and bones throughout life.
Why Choose Glutagem®️ Marine Collagen?
Many other collagen products contain just collagen alone.
Glutagem®️ Marine Collagen is formulated with carefully selected supporting nutrients because collagen production requires more than collagen itself.
Each ingredient below has a specific & important role;
-
Marine Collagen (10,028 mg)
Provides the amino acids glycine, proline and hydroxyproline used throughout the body to build and maintain collagen-containing tissues.
This forms the foundation of the formula. -
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) (301 mg)
MSM provides sulphur.
Sulphur is an important structural component of:
● Collagen
● Keratin
● Connective tissue proteins
Keratin is the main protein found in hair and nails.
MSM helps support the structural integrity of connective tissues throughout the body. -
Vitamin C (201 mg)
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, cartilage, bones, gums, teeth and blood vessels.
Without Vitamin C, the body cannot efficiently produce stable collagen fibres.
Vitamin C is one of the most important nutrients involved in collagen synthesis. -
Zinc (5 mg)
Zinc contributes to the maintenance of:
● Normal skin
● Normal hair
● Normal nails
Zinc is involved in numerous biological processes associated with tissue maintenance and repair. -
Hyaluronic Acid (100 mg)
Hyaluronic Acid is naturally found within the skin.
Its primary function is water retention.
It acts like a moisture reservoir by attracting and holding water within tissues.
This helps support:
● Skin hydration
● Skin smoothness
● Skin suppleness
Hyaluronic acid levels naturally decline with age. -
Manganese (1 mg)
Manganese contributes to the normal formation of connective tissue.
Connective tissue provides structural support throughout the body and is essential for healthy skin, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. -
-
Vitamin D3 (25 µg)
Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of:
● Normal bones
● Normal muscle function
● Normal immune function
Strong bones and muscles provide the foundation that supports healthy connective tissue structures. -
How To Choose Your Marine Collagen
What to look for when choosing a collagen supplement, how much do you need to take and what makes Glutagem® Marine Collagen different to other supplements.
-
What Should You Look For In A Marine Collagen Supplement?
When choosing a collagen supplement, consider:
✓ The amount of collagen per serving
✓ The presence of Vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation
✓ Supporting nutrients for skin, hair and connective tissue health
✓ Transparent labelling with clearly stated ingredient amounts
✓ High-quality marine collagen sourced from fish
✓ No unnecessary fillers or proprietary blends -
How Much Collagen Do You Need?
Research has commonly used collagen intakes ranging from 2.5g to 10g daily.
However, many of the most recognised studies investigating skin appearance, elasticity and hydration have used approximately 10g per day.
Glutagem®️ Marine Collagen provides:
10,028 mg marine collagen per serving - alongside supporting nutrients that help contribute to collagen formation and connective tissue health. -
The Glutagem® Difference

• 10,028 mg Hydrolysed Marine Collagen
• 301 mg MSM
• 201 mg Vitamin C
• 100 mg Hyaluronic Acid
• 5 mg Zinc
• 25 µg Vitamin D3
• 1 mg Manganese
Together, these ingredients support the body’s natural collagen formation processes, connective tissue structure, skin hydration and healthy ageing as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
Beauty from within starts with strong foundations.
