Collection: Marine Collagen

Collagen is a family of proteins found widely in all mammals, with type I being the most abundant form of collagen in the body and is found in tendons, ligaments, skin, bones, teeth, hair and nails. Marine collagen is classified as being a type I collagen and helps the skin repair itself.

As far as its role in the body, it helps make up the structure of our skin, bone, cartilage, muscle, and more, with the purpose of helping tissues be elastic and withstand stretching (so, for example, it keeps skin looking young and supple). 

We actually make our own internal supply of collagen, via our cells' fibroblasts (assuming they have the amino acids and other required nutritional building blocks they need).

In fact, it's made by our body throughout our lifetime; however, it also decreases with age, and your natural endogenous levels can also be reduced by environmental factors and stressors, such as sun damage and high-sugar diets.

This is where vitaroots comes in: Our Marine sourced Collagen containing supplements are broken-down into small digestible form, and when ingested, your cells' fibroblasts can use the amino acids to stimulate and enhance your own natural collagen production from the inside. Creating the glow naturally.
