Marine or type II collagen: two collagens, two uses
Collagen peptides for skin and type II collagen for cartilage: differences, studied doses and how to choose.
"Collagen" is a family of proteins. Your skin, bones, tendons and cartilage all have collagen, but not of the same type. That's why SNP has two different formulas.
VERISOL® marine collagen (COL-M)
These are bioactive collagen peptides: collagen broken into small fragments that the body absorbs easily. VERISOL® is a peptide brand with several placebo-controlled clinical trials:
- In women aged 35 to 55, 2.5 g per day for 8 weeks improved skin elasticity compared with placebo.
- In women aged 45 to 65, the same dose reduced the volume of wrinkles around the eyes and increased dermal matrix markers.
Our COL-M adds hyaluronic acid, coenzyme Q10, biotin and vitamins C and E.
Type II collagen (COL-II)
It's the collagen found in joint cartilage. Our formula combines it with shark cartilage, calcium, magnesium, vitamin C and zinc. It's usually chosen by people who train, spend long hours on their feet or want to look after their joints over the years.
Which one do I choose?
- Skin, nails and hair: Marine Collagen (COL-M).
- Joints: Type II Collagen (COL-II).
Studies measure results from 8 weeks on: consistency matters more than the dose.
