Fish oils are an energy source and building blocks for cell membranes while fish proteins are building blocks for various proteins including collagen, fibrillin, and elastin, which are important to the structure and density of the skin.*
- Fish proteins are water soluble and can contain amino acids and peptides that can play a role in the formation (synthesis) of collagen and other supportive proteins, important for the structure and density of the skin*
- Fish oils are soluble fatty acids. The long-chain fatty acids EPA and DHA are essential for all cells in the body including the skin. Their main function in the body is to build and support cell structure and membrane fluidity (flexibility)
