INGREDIENT SPOTLIGHT
Marine-Inspired, Not Marine-Derived
Collagen is the body’s most abundant protein, playing a central role in skin’s structure and the visible signs of aging. Natural production declines about 1% a year after age 20, contributing to the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Marine collagen is often perceived as more premium than other animal-derived collagens, but it’s still extracted from fish and carries the same limitations. Collume® takes a different approach: it mimics a marine amino acid sequence through fermentation, with no marine extraction involved, delivering a consistent polypeptide sequence, molecular weight, and purity.
