With collagen becoming a global trend, more and more women are becoming aware of its importance in beauty regimens. But among the myriad of collagen products available, how can one choose a good collagen product? When it comes to supplementing collagen, fish-derived collagen products are considered the best. The structural composition of fish collagen is closest to that of humans, making it the most easily recognizable and absorbable by body tissues, with the highest absorption rate. Fish collagen primarily comes from the cartilage and skin of deep-sea fish, which are rich in collagen.
Typically, the molecular weight of conventional collagen is controlled within 3000 Daltons. In simpler terms, this means there are 3000 amino acids in one molecular structure, which is too large for the skin to absorb effectively. As a result, the skincare benefits of such collagen products are not very noticeable. Collagen with a smaller molecular weight is better absorbed by the human body.
High-quality collagen is soluble. Pure, well-absorbed collagen can easily dissolve in water, appearing clear and transparent with almost nothing visible. If there are oily floating substances in the water, it indicates that the collagen contains fat. If it precipitates in water, it suggests that the purity of the collagen is insufficiently high. If the water becomes very turbid, it implies that the collagen production process was inadequate and failed to extract pure collagen.
Top-grade collagen is extracted from unpolluted deep-sea fish. Therefore, when top-grade collagen is dissolved in water, it has a distinctive mild fishy smell. If there is no slight fishy smell or if the smell is too strong, it could indicate issues with the collagen raw material or additives added to mask impurities.
So, what constitutes an excellent collagen product? Which collagen products have the best sales and reputation? Based on the best reputation and the highest customer return rate, we list the following:

Yishengmei Collagen Raw Materials: Derived from the skin of deep-sea Alaskan codfish.
Yishengmei Collagen Advantage: The only "long-acting oligopeptide" collagen product domestically.
Yishengmei Collagen - Oligopeptide: Utilizes Japan's top solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) technology, controlling the molecular weight around 500 Daltons, allowing collagen to directly act on the dermis layer of human skin, minimizing absorption losses.
Yishengmei Collagen Longevity: Uses special methods to achieve expected fine particle size (particle diameter between 11 micrometers to 16 micrometers), wrapped in complex substances formed by the body itself. This product slows down the hydrolysis speed of collagen in the body, slowly releasing its efficacy, not only restoring the activity of collagen factors but also maintaining effective blood concentration for a longer time; extending the half-life of collagen factors to achieve special long-lasting beautifying effects! Yishengmei Collagen is the only domestic long-acting oligopeptide collagen product and the only one that can be directly absorbed by the dermis layer!
Yishengmei Collagen Net Content: 5.5g * 21 packs. Recommended to take before sleeping, 5.5g per day, can be mixed with juice, milk, etc.
