Health Benefits of Collagen Tri-Peptides from Fish
Collagen Tri-Peptides (CTPs) are small, bioactive peptides consisting of three amino acids derived from the hydrolysis of collagen protein. Fish collagen, in particular, is known for its high absorption rate due to its low molecular weight.
WrinkleCare™ Collagen Tri-Peptide (High Elastin) is a special type of Collagen Tri-Peptide that tested and found to have the following skin benefits:
1. High anti-elastase effect which will stop the skin's elastase degradation. More than 65% of elastase degradation can be stopped at 50mg/ml concentration
2. High anti-hyaluronidase effect which will stop the skin's hyaluron degradation. More than 50% of hyaluron degradation can be stopped at 50mg/ml concentration
3. High anti-oxidant property based on DPPH assay. More than 40% of oxidation can be stopped at 50mg/ml concentration
The company offers lab service that can test these activities in your finished product
1. Skin Health
Improved Skin Elasticity and Reduction of Wrinkles
CTPs can promote skin health by stimulating the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers, leading to improved skin elasticity, hydration, and a reduction in wrinkles.

2. Joint Health
Alleviation of Joint Pain and Cartilage Regeneration
Fish-derived CTPs may help reduce joint pain and support cartilage regeneration by supplying essential amino acids that stimulate chondrocyte activity.

3. Bone Health
Enhancement of Bone Mineral Density
CTPs can promote bone health by increasing bone mineral density and supporting the activity of osteoblasts, the cells responsible for bone formation.
