How to take marine collagen to maximize results

Marine collagen is often presented as a miracle ingredient for improving skin elasticity, firmness, hydration and "anti-wrinkle" effect. But to reap its full benefits, it's not enough to consume it alone. Its effectiveness depends heavily on its combination with complementary active ingredients, such as vitamin C, which plays a key role in the synthesis collagen synthesis.

In this article, find out why marine collagen alone has its limits, and what good active ingredients, when supplemented, can boost its effects tenfold.

Marine collagen, a promising but incomplete asset

• Marine collagen is a protein that can be hydrolyzedwhich means it is transformed into peptides for optimum optimal. When consumed, these peptides provide the amino acids needed to synthesize new collagen in the body, particularly in the skin.

• However, without a favorable biochemical environment, these amino acids are insufficient to effectively stimulate this natural production. For example: the absence of vitamin C limits activation of the enzymes involved in collagen synthesis.

• High levels of oxidative stress can accelerate the degradation of existing collagen, diminishing the beneficial effects of its supplementation.

The importance of complementary active ingredients in maximizing the benefits of marine collagen

For marine collagen to reach its full potential, it must be combined with specific active ingredients that act synergistically. Here are the main essential active ingredients: 

• Vitamin C: an indispensable cofactor

Vitamin C enables amino acids to bind together, forming a network of functional collagen fibers. It activates the enzymes prolyl-hydroxylase and lysyl-hydroxylase, which are involved in collagenbiosynthesis. Without vitamin C, marine collagen is less well utilized by the body, reducing its impact on skin firmness and elasticity.

• Antioxidants: protecting collagen

Active ingredients such as zinc, selenium and polyphenols act as shields against free radicals, which break down existing collagen. By protecting the skin from oxidative stress, they prolong the effects of marine collagen and promote more protected skin.

• Ceramosides®: for optimum hydration

Phytoceramides, present in all Evoleum Drinkable Food Supplements skincare formulas, strengthen the cutaneous barrier and increase water retention. Combined with collagen, they improve skin texture, making it softer and smoother.

Evoleum Longévité : a synergistic formula for visible results

At Evoleumour nutricosmetics approach is based on the synergy of active ingredients. All our treatments are rich, complex formulas, bringing together active ingredients that support each other and whose precise, rigorous combination optimizes their benefits. 

We know the importance of combining marine collagen with complementary active ingredients to maximize its effectiveness. That's why our treatment Longévité combines 5 g of Peptan® hydrolyzed marine collagen with key ingredients such as : 

• 80 mg vitamin C: to support collagen synthesis and reinforce its anti-ageing action (100% of RDA).
• Ceramosides®: for deep moisturizing and improved skin barrier.
• Zinc, selenium and vitamin B2: to protect skin against oxidative stress.
• Vitamins B2, B3 and B5: to support the structure and function of the skin and contribute to its good health.

This innovative liquid formula ensures rapid absorption and optimal bioavailability. The first results are visible in just three weeks, with firmer, smoother, visibly hydrated skin.

Supporting scientific evidence

The benefits of marine collagen combined with complementary active ingredients are supported by numerous studies: marine collagen supplementation alone improves skin density less convincingly, but results are significantly amplified when combined with vitamin C.

After 42 days of supplementation (6 weeks) with enriched formulas such as Longévité, skin density increases by 33%, and deep wrinkles are reduced by 26%. 

Why isn't marine collagen enough on its own? 

Without the right cofactors, marine collagen cannot reach its full potential. Here are the main limitations of its isolated consumption:

1. Incomplete synthesis: without vitamin C, new collagen production remains low.
2. Rapid degradation: without antioxidant protection, newly produced collagen is rapidly damaged by free radicals.
3. Insufficient hydration: collagen alone does not provide the lipids needed to reinforce the skin barrier and prevent trans-epidermal water loss.

Conclusion: the power of synergy

Marine collagen is a precious base for firmer, younger-looking skin, but it's its combination with active ingredients like vitamin C, antioxidants and ceramides that allows it to reveal its full effectiveness. Evoleum skincare products are systematically designed to work synergistically, which is how we understand the power of nutricosmetics. Evoleum's Longévité is a perfect example of this synergistic approach, offering a complete solution to nourish the skin from within and enhance its appearance.
