Tanaka, M., Koyama, Y., & Nomura, Y. (2009) “Effects of Collagen Peptide Ingestion on UV-B-induced Skin Damage.” Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 73:4, 930-932, DOI: 10.1271/bbb.80649.
Claim: Daily collagen peptide ingestion suppressed UV-B-induced decreases in skin hydration, hyperplasia of the epidermis, and decreases in soluble type 1 collagen. Collagen is a beneficial supplement to suppress UV-B-induced skin damage and photoaging.

Fish Scale Collagen Peptides Protect against CoCl2/TNF-α-Induced Cytotoxicity and Inflammation via Inhibition of ROS, MAPK, and NF-κB Pathways in HaCaT Cells. Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2017, 9703609. http://doi.org/10.1155/2017/9703609
Claim: Marine collagen peptides demonstrate beneficial effects on inflammatory or immune-mediated skin diseases.

BONE & JOINT HEALTH

Guillerminet F, et al. (2010). Hydrolyzed collagen improved bone metabolism and biomechanical parameters in ovariectomized mice: an in vitro and in vivo study. Bone. 46(3):827-834.
Claim: Collagen supplementation showed higher growth and differentiation on osteoblasts and osteoclasts in rats during 12 week study. Osteoprotective action.

Santelli GM. Collagen hydrolysate intake increases skin collagen expression and suppresses matrix metalloproteinase 2 activity. J Med Food (2011);14(6):618-24.
Claim: Collagen supplements are involved in cartilage matrix synthesis, anti-hypertensive and cardioprotective activity, and anti-oxidant activity.

Bello AE, Oesser S. Collagen hydrolysate for the treatment of osteoarthritis and other joint disorders: a review of the literature. Curr Med Res Opin 2006;22(11):2221-32.
Claim: Hydrolyzed collagen oral supplementation may accumulate in the cartilage and stimulate significant increases in the synthesis of ECM (extracellular matrix) macromolecules by chondrocytes.

GELATIN

Haug, I. J., Draget, K. I., & Smidsrød, O. (2004). Physical and rheological properties of fish gelatin compared to mammalian gelatin. Food Hydrocolloids, 18(2), 203-213. doi:10.1016/s0268-005x(03)00065-1
Claim: Optical rotation experiments revealed that the amount of helices in fish gelatin and mammalian gelatin are approximately identical at their respective gelling temperatures, and that a critical amount of regenerated helices is needed to form a gel network

Badii, F., & Howell, N. K. (2006). Fish gelatin: Structure, gelling properties and interaction with egg albumen proteins. Food Hydrocolloids, 20, 630–640.
Claim: One major advantage of marine gelatin sources is that they are not associated with the risk of outbreaks of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy. Fish gelatin is acceptable for Islam and can be used with minimal restrictions in Judaism and Hinduism. Furthermore, fish skin, which is a major byproduct of the fish-processing industry, causing waste and pollution, could provide a valuable source of gelatin

Choi, S.-S., & Regenstein, J. M. (2000). Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of fish gelatin. Journal of Food Science, 65, 194e199.
Claim: When reviewing alternatives to porcine/bovine gelatins, fish gelatin has similar physical and chemical properties compared to porcine gelatin and to be rated superior in a blind sensory test. They also established that the lower melting point of coldwater fish gelatin enhances flavor release, fruit aroma, and melt rate in water gel desserts.
