Different types of Collagen? What is type II collagen peptides?

Recova Labs’ Sacred Shine Marine Collagen with hydrolyzed Cartidyss® collagen peptides sets itself apart in several distinct ways, particularly due to its unique sourcing, advanced formulation, and its clinically proven benefits:

1. Unique Cartidyss® Marine Collagen Sourcing (Patented)

  • Premium Marine Source: Cartidyss® collagen is sourced from the pristine waters off the coast of Brittany, France, renowned for their clean marine ecosystem. This ensures a high-quality, sustainable marine collagen rich in essential amino acids, setting it apart from common bovine or porcine collagens. Due to its small molecule structure, just low dosage is required for it to be absorbed into cartilage, skin and hair. 
  • Smaller Molecules, less for more!
  • Rich in Type II Collagen: Cartidyss® is a specialized hydrolyzed type II collagen derived from marine cartilage. Unlike type I collagen, which primarily benefits the skin’s surface, type II collagen targets joint health, deeper layers of the skin, and connective tissue structures that support the scalp and hair follicles.

2. Enhanced Absorption with Hydrolyzed Formulation

  • Hydrolyzed for Bioavailability: The hydrolyzed process breaks collagen molecules into smaller peptides, making them more easily absorbed by the body. This means that Sacred Shine provides maximum effectiveness in delivering nutrients to hair, skin, and joints.
  • Targeted Amino Acid Profile: Cartidyss® collagen is rich in specific amino acids like glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, essential for skin elasticity, joint lubrication, and keratin production for strong, resilient hair.

3. Clinically Proven Benefits for Hair, Skin, and Joints

  • Multi-Benefit Efficacy: Cartidyss® has been clinically studied for its benefits, showing improvements in skin hydration, elasticity, and joint mobility. Its antioxidant-rich formulation protects cells from oxidative damage, which is crucial for preventing signs of aging in both skin and hair.
  • Comprehensive Support for Hair Health: Sacred Shine’s type II collagen goes beyond surface-level support by nourishing hair follicles at the root, helping to maintain volume and strength while reducing breakage—a benefit less commonly seen with other collagen supplements.

4. Sustainability and Purity Standards

  • Environmentally Conscious Production: Sacred Shine’s sourcing aligns with eco-friendly practices, reflecting a commitment to sustainable marine life preservation, unlike many other collagen products on the market.
  • Low-Allergen and Free from Contaminants: Marine collagen is naturally low in allergens compared to animal-sourced collagens, and Sacred Shine is crafted without artificial additives or preservatives, ensuring a cleaner, more natural supplement for daily use.

Sacred Shine’s use of Cartidyss® marine collagen positions it as a premium option on the market, with a unique blend that supports skin, hair, and joint health in ways that typical collagen supplements cannot.
