Introduction
In the face of the proliferation of collagen-based dietary supplements, it becomes essential to distinguish the different types available to make a choice truly suited to one's needs. At Guide Collagène - Likama, pedagogy and transparency are at the heart of our commitment: we offer you today a detailed analysis of Cartidyss marine collagen, a reference in premium supplementation, and its alternatives. Whether you are concerned about the quality, effectiveness, or origin of your supplements, this article guides you through the scientific issues, differences in bioavailability, and the concrete impact on the health of skin, joints, hair, and nails.
Understanding the different types of collagen: origins and uses
Collagen is a major structural protein in our body, representing nearly 30% of the total proteins in the human body. There are several types of collagen, but the most present in dietary supplements are those of marine, bovine, or porcine origin. Each is distinguished by its amino acid spectrum, bioavailability, and specific applications, such as improving skin firmness, joint support, or hair vitality (source: Anses).
Marine collagen, extracted from fish, is particularly appreciated for its high assimilation and its profile in short peptides, promoting rapid and visible effects. Bovine collagen, derived from the skins and cartilages of cattle, is distinguished by its composition of types I and III collagen, essential for the strength of connective tissues. As for porcine collagen, it is less common in premium ranges due to ethical concerns and traceability.
Cartidyss Marine Collagen: specificities and scientifically validated advantages
Cartidyss marine collagen stands out for its exclusive formulation based on hydrolyzed marine collagen peptides, derived from fish cartilages caught in compliance with the Friend of the Sea® certification. This controlled origin guarantees not only superior quality but also a sustainable and responsible approach, in line with the expectations of demanding consumers (see our Friend of the Sea® certification).
This marine collagen is distinguished by its high bioavailability: the peptides are quickly absorbed by the body, allowing for targeted action on the skin, joints, hair, and nails. Clinical studies show that regular intake of Cartidyss marine collagen contributes to improving skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles, and providing better joint comfort within 8 to 12 weeks (clinical study PubMed).
Comparison: Cartidyss marine collagen vs bovine collagen and other alternatives
To understand what distinguishes Cartidyss marine collagen, it is necessary to compare it to the other main types of collagen available on the market:
- Effectiveness: Marine collagen, especially in Cartidyss form, has superior bioavailability due to the small size of its peptides, facilitating rapid intestinal passage and optimal use by target tissues. Bovine collagen is interesting for joint recovery, but its assimilation is generally slower.
- Origin and traceability: Cartidyss marine collagen benefits from impeccable traceability and a certification of sustainable fishing, unlike some bovine collagens whose origin may remain unclear (read the Guide Collagène analysis on traceability).
- Targets and applications: Marine collagen tends to be favored for beauty care (skin, hair, nails), while bovine collagen is appreciated in sports supplementation and joint maintenance. Nevertheless, enriched formulas like Cartidyss Marine Collagen in capsules, combined with vitamins and antioxidants, offer unmatched versatility.
- Dietary compatibility: Marine collagen is generally compatible with diets free from porcine or bovine meat, making it accessible to a wider audience.

Bioavailability and results: why the hydrolyzed form makes the difference
The notion of bioavailability is central to the effectiveness of collagen-based supplements. The hydrolyzed form of Cartidyss marine collagen ensures that the protein is pre "cut" into small peptides easily assimilable by the body. This maximizes intestinal absorption and distribution to target tissues. Comparative studies have shown that hydrolyzed marine collagen peptides appear in the blood in significantly higher quantities than those from bovine or porcine sources (source EFSA).
Many testimonials from our clients report visible changes, particularly in hydration, skin elasticity, and joint comfort, within 4 to 12 weeks of regular use. This timeframe is consistent with the natural cycles of collagen renewal in the body. Additionally, it is interesting to note that in 2026, according to the Barometer of City Health Professionals, 62.7% of general practitioners plan to reduce their working hours due to professional stress.
Transparency, quality, and safety: Likama's commitments
At Likama, we have chosen total transparency: all our products are formulated and manufactured in France, subjected to rigorous quality analyses, and display complete traceability of ingredients. Our supplements are guaranteed free from additives, preservatives, or controversial colorants, for optimal safety and maximum effectiveness (see the Naticol® marine collagen range).
We also offer a comprehensive scientific guide to support our clients in their supplementation journey, allowing them to choose with full knowledge of the type of collagen best suited to their goals: skin firmness, joint comfort, hair vitality, or nail strength.
How to choose your collagen: essential criteria and practical advice
The choice of a collagen supplement should be based on several criteria: the quality of the source, the hydrolyzed form, traceability, the presence of certifications such as Friend of the Sea®, the absence of additives, and the product's suitability for your personal goal (beauty, joints, hair, etc.). It is recommended to prioritize a course of at least 8 to 12 weeks to observe effects and to rely on expert advice and feedback from certified users (see the detailed FAQ from Guide Collagène).
