Transdermal Collagen

Upon transdermal application and absorption through the skin, COLWAY Marine Collagen Coils break down and the EMC is immediately enriched with an abundant supply of key amino acids, glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, and other active ingredients that activate the function in the skin of fibroblasts. and keratinocytes. Consequently, the procollagen formed in the fibroblasts is synthesized in helices.

The triple helix structure of COLWAY Marine Collagen has a triple stimulating effect on the synthesis of collagen in the skin:

• Awakens fibroblasts and stimulates protein production
• Protects collagen from degradation and destruction
• Helps maintain the quantity and quality of collagen

When COLWAY Marine Collagen is applied to the skin immediately after cleansing the face while the pores are open for maximum assimilation of collagen in the lower layers of the skin, it enriches the ECM of all layers of the skin with amino acids , which facilitates the activity of fibroblasts. At the same time, it increases the body's production of its own collagen.

Once applied to the skin, the enzyme collagenase breaks down the molecular structure of collagen. As a result, the denaturation temperature (temperature above or below the range in which cells tend to live that will cause proteins to unfold or "denature") for the triple helix structure is lowered, allowing it to fall apart. at body temperature, and then enzymes such as elastase and gelatinase break down the unraveled helix into lower molecular weight compounds (extracellular pathway). At the same time, another route is used, in which collagen is introduced into cells such as macrophages (defense cells) and is broken down in those cells.

Because collagen from other sources and other processes melts at a much higher temperature, it often sits on the skin without melting or being absorbed. COLWAY marine collagen processing allows for a lower molecular weight and lower denaturation rate, allowing its molecular structure to melt easily into the skin and be gradually absorbed.

For the extracellular space (everything outside the cells, excluding the ECM), the ECM is a collagen "factory" of fibroblasts, chondrocytes, and keratinocytes that release the polypeptide amino acid chains. It is here, with the help of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) as an activator, that the amino acid sequence is twisted into helices. The ECM is reinforced when infused with peptides that absorb and dissolve their way through the high-capacity layers of marine collagen coils, ultimately increasing the amount of collagen in the ECM.
