Le marine collagenextracted mainly from the skin and scales of fish, is renowned for its multiple health benefits, particularly for the skin, joints and bones. In this article, we explore a case study to highlight the real effects of marine collagen supplements through concrete results before and after their use.

Context of the case study

The study was conducted over a six-month period with a group of 50 participants, aged between 35 and 65, who showed signs of skin ageing and complained of joint pain. Each participant received a daily dose of hydrolysed marine collagen. No other dietary or lifestyle changes were introduced during the study period.

Methodology

Participants were assessed at the start of the study, then at three months, and finally at six months. The assessments included dermatological analyses to measure skin elasticity and hydration, X-rays to observe changes in the joints, and questionnaires to assess levels of pain experienced.

Results Before Using Marine Collagen

At the start of the study, 70% of the participants reported dry skin and visible wrinkles. Skin elasticity tests showed that skin elasticity was below the norm for their age group. In terms of joints, 60% of participants reported regular pain and stiffness, particularly on waking or after periods of inactivity.

Results after three months of use

At the halfway point, significant improvements were noted. Skin assessments revealed a 20% increase in hydration and a 15% improvement in elasticity compared with initial measurements. Participants also reported a 30% reduction in joint pain. Radiographic images showed few notable changes in joint structure.

Results after six months of use

At the end of the study, the participants showed even greater improvements. Skin hydration increased by 35%, and elasticity improved by 25% compared to the start of the study. Reports of joint pain decreased by 50%, and participants noted an overall improvement in mobility. Radiographic images indicated a slight improvement in cartilage density in some participants.

Conclusion

This case study highlights the effectiveness of the marine collagen in improving skin health and reducing joint pain. The results suggest that regular supplementation with marine collagen can be beneficial in combating certain symptoms of ageing.
Although these results are promising, further studies are recommended to explore the long-term effects and confirm these preliminary observations.
