Collagen – Integral to Skin Health
Healthy skin is the body’s primary barrier to prevent dehydration and potential infection while maintaining moisture and body temperature. There is constant pressure from internal and external factors that drive the skin-ageing process. These include an unbalanced diet, stress-induced nutrient deficiencies, and cumulative exposure to environmental pollution and damaging UV rays.
Approximately 1/3 of the body’s protein is comprised of collagen, which works with other components of the skin to retain water and support smooth, firm, and strong skin. As we age, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkled skin as well as stiff or painful joints, is related to the inevitable loss of collagen. Once the elasticity of skin (and connective tissue) diminishes, the skin becomes increasingly thinner and drier.
QNL’s Quantum Collagen™ is tasteless, fully dissolvable, and bioavailable. Supplementing with hydrolyzed marine collagen, coupled with dietary sources of antioxidants and micronutrients (vitamin C, zinc, copper) delivers Type I collagen, which is the most prevalent among all 28 collagen types that have been identified. QNL’s marine collagen promotes beauty from within and can help restore collagen synthesis in the most dense, middle layer of the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and hydrating dry skin.*
Beauty is More Than Skin Deep
More than 90% of all collagen present in the skin, connective tissues and bone is type I collagen, which is pivotal in maintaining healthy tendons and ligaments. Research indicates that hydrolyzed collagen peptides can support healthy joint function which may reduce discomfort, enhance mobility, and help to maintain lean muscle mass.* QNL’s Quantum Collagen™ is hydrolyzed enhancing its ability to deliver bioactive, short-chain nutritional collagen peptides which support collagen synthesis in the tissues that need it the most.
Additionally, Quantum Collagen™ has an excellent amino acid profile, delivering 19 out of 20 amino acids making it a highly absorbable supplement for protein enrichment with minimal calorie content. This can be especially useful for those individuals who have inadequate daily protein intake (due to life stages, exercise intensity or health conditions) or have difficulty digesting animal or legume-derived dietary proteins.
Quantum Collagen™ is sustainably sourced from Canada utilizing the skin of deep water, ocean fish including cod, haddock, and pollock. Thoroughly tested for contaminants including the presence of heavy metals, industrial solvents, and microbial pathogens, our hydrolyzed marine collagen is meets high quality standards of The United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia (EP) and Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP). Our marine collagen offers a non-GMO, antibiotic and hormone free alternative to bovine, porcine, and poultry-based collagen products.
