Collagen in skin beauty benefits
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, playing a crucial role in maintaining skin elasticity, hydration, and strength. As we age, collagen production naturally declines, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, dehydration and sagging skin. Environmental factors like UV exposure and pollution further accelerate collagen degradation. To counteract these effects, supplementing with collagen is an efficient strategy.
Indeed fish collagen peptides have emerged as a revolutionary ingredient in the beauty industry, gaining popularity for their remarkable benefits in skin health and appearance. This article delves into the science behind specific fish collagen peptides developed by Weishardt: Naticol® x3Peptide and transformative effects on skin.
Naticol® x3Peptide, a boosted activity
Naticol® x3Peptide is fish collagen peptides with a smaller molecular weight compared to regular collagen peptides that can be found on the market. Their small molecular weight, obtained from a specific process, allows for a better bioavailability making it efficient at a low dose. Indeed, their small size allows them to pass through the intestinal barrier more easily and directly enter the bloodstream to reach the skin.
Besides its superior bioavailability, Naticol® x3Peptide has a better bioactivity thanks to its specific short peptides sequences making it even more efficient. This improved bioactivity leads to more effectiveness in collagen synthesis, and cellular signaling changes promoting healthier skin from within.
Indeed, several clinical studies confirm that collagen peptides can improve biomechanical parameters evolving with skin aging.
A clinical trial conducted on women with mature skin taking a dose as low as 2.5g / day of Naticol® x3Peptide during only 8 weeks has proven great results. In fact, Naticol® x3Peptide has shown effectiveness in ameliorating several skin aging markers such as skin hydration (+ 12%, Fig A) and wrinkles (-42% wrinkles count, Fig B). Moreover, Naticol® x3Peptide very significantly enhances skin luminosity (+ 31%, Fig C) and brightness (+ 34%, Fig D) improving skin tone and making it more glowy.

Skin hydration improvement, wrinkles reduction and skin glow are amongst the most sought-after benefits beauty consumers focus on. This makes Naticol® x3Peptide an effective addition to your beauty routine in the quest for youthful and radiant skin.
Suitable for multiple applications
Just as Weishardt’s Naticol® range, Naticol® x3Peptide is well adapted for food supplements as well as functional foods and beverages.
Available in 2 powder forms, it can fit with a wide variety of finished products. Naticol® x3Peptide microgranulated powder with an excellent solubility, is the perfect ingredient to prepare drinks, smoothies and many food products, thanks to its rapid and high dissolution properties.
It is also available in a hight density fine powder form, highly compressible, that creates the opportunity to have a tablet or capsule-based routine as Naticol® x3Peptide is efficient at a low dose.

Sustainability
As consumers become more aware of sustainability issues, there is growing demand for ethically sourced products. This is part of the commitments Weishardt is strongly concerned about, and guided Weishardt to choose fish origin for its collagen. Indeed, compared to other sources of collagen, fish farming has lower environmental impact.
As part of the circular economy, Weishardt upcycles fish skins, which would otherwise be discarded by the fish fillet industry, to produce a premium value added products, like Naticol® x3Peptide.
All fish skins originate from sustainable species and are sourced from a diverse range of geographical areas and species to protect marine ecosystem, fish populations and environment.
Thanks to these efforts and commitments Weishardt’s Naticol® range has been awarded the Friend of the Sea® sustainable development label. Some products of the Naticol® range have also granted the MSC certification for collagen extracted from wild caught fishes.
