With autumn settled in and the festive season approaching, healthy, glowing skin is on everyone’s wish list, and the supplement market is flooded with promises. But are these claims rooted in science or just clever marketing?
UK-based supplement brand Supp has the definitive answer, placing science front and centre to create high-quality, lab-engineered supplements that really work. Co-founded by biomedical scientist Olivia Buckley, Supp’s marine collagen supplement is designed to support the body’s natural collagen production.
“Collagen molecules are too large to pass through the skin’s outer barrier, so creams with collagen will hydrate the surface, but they do not deliver collagen into the dermis, where it matters. If you want to support your skin’s collagen network, it’s better to focus on what the body can use internally,” Buckley explained.
Collagen production naturally declines with age, particularly after 30, which can contribute to visible changes in skin firmness and elasticity. To address this, Supp’s formulation combines 1,200 mg of sustainably sourced, hydrolysed marine collagen peptides along with vitamin C.
“Your body builds collagen from amino acids plus vitamin C. A protein-rich diet with plenty of vitamin C is the foundation. Oral hydrolysed collagen provides specific peptides that show up in the bloodstream and, in multiple clinical trials, modestly improve skin hydration and elasticity, particularly in adults over 30,” Buckley added.
“Vitamin C is the essential cofactor for collagen assembly. If vitamin C is low, collagen formation stalls. That is why I pair marine collagen with vitamin C in our formula.”
Supp’s Marine Collagen comes in a convenient capsule for those who prefer an alternative to powders. The supplement is manufactured in the UK to GMP standards, and like all Supp products, is gluten-free, dairy-free, caffeine-free, and non-GMO.
In keeping with Supp’s ethos of putting evidence first, Buckley also underlined the importance of food-first nutrition. A balanced intake of protein-rich foods such as fish, eggs, dairy, legumes, and lean meats, paired with vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables like berries, peppers, and citrus, provides the raw materials the body needs to produce collagen naturally.
