Description

Field of the invention

[0001] The present invention relates to a collagen particle structure and, more particularly, to a collagen particle structure revealing an innovative design that can be used to improve skin moisturizing, skin tightening, and skin elasticity. State of the art

[0002] In the human body, tissues and organs such as bones, ligaments, cartilage, skin, and cornea contain large amounts of collagen. Collagen functions primarily as a binding substance within the connective tissue. In combination with muscles, which are jointly responsible for metabolism, collagen plays an essential role in repair and adhesion processes. With technological advances, various methods for extracting collagen from animal sources have become increasingly established. Users can not only obtain collagen from natural foods but also take it in extracted form as a supplement. Although collagen has the effects mentioned above, it has the same disadvantages as many natural substances, for example: it is sensitive to acid, difficult to store, and easily destroyed. The human digestive system contains, among other substances, gastric juice and pancreatic juice.In particular, gastric acid in gastric juice causes orally ingested collagen to be highly inactivated during the digestive process in the gastrointestinal tract. This results in a significant loss of bioactivity, which in turn leads to inadequate absorption by the human body and thus reduced efficacy. This problem significantly reduces the functional benefits of collagen. Therefore, there is an urgent need to fundamentally improve the stability and usability of collagen through appropriate technological measures.

[0003] Furthermore, humans are a link in the natural food chain. Natural foods represent an essential source of nutrients, and their growth is influenced by the quality of air, water, and soil. Over the last hundred years, the world's population has increased dramatically from 1 billion to over 7 billion people. The economic boom has led to a significant increase in meat consumption, requiring a significant increase in agricultural production to meet human food needs and the feed requirements of livestock.

[0004] Nutrition is the foundation of health. Food is the source of nutrients. A balanced diet is the most important principle for maintaining health. Such a diet must provide sufficient calories and essential nutrients daily to maintain bodily functions and prevent deficiencies and associated diseases.

[0005] However, nutrients generally suffer from the same deficiencies as many natural substances, such as low acid stability, limited storage life, and high susceptibility to degradation. Gastric and pancreatic juices, among others, are involved in the human digestive system. Due to the presence of gastric acid, many nutrients are destroyed during passage through the digestive tract, thereby losing their effectiveness, which severely limits their absorption rate in the body. Therefore, improvements and addressing the aforementioned deficiencies are necessary. Object of the invention

[0006] The main objective of the present invention is to provide a collagen particle structure that can be used to improve skin hydration, skin firming, and skin elasticity. The technical problem to be solved is how to develop the structure of a novel, more optimal, and more practical collagen particle structure.

[0007] The technical features of the collagen particle structure according to the invention, which can be used to improve skin hydration, skin firmness, and skin elasticity, are described below. The collagen particle structure comprises a collagen core primarily containing fish scale collagen; and a protective outer layer encasing the collagen core prevents the external environment from affecting the activity of the collagen core, thus improving the storage stability and absorption rate of the collagen particle structure by the human body.

[0008] Compared with the conventional technology, the present invention, through the innovative design and technical features, can provide a collagen particle structure that can be used to improve skin moisturizing, skin tightening, and skin elasticity, with which the beneficial effects of reducing skin wrinkles and dullness, shrinking pores, increasing moisture content, tightening and elasticity of the skin, improving breast firmness and firmness, increasing bone density, improving joint flexibility and elasticity, promoting the regeneration of articular cartilage, relieving joint pain and stiffness, and improving symptoms related to arthritis can be achieved, so as to achieve the industrial applicability of maintaining the activity and functionality of the collagen core and increasing the absorption rate and product efficacy. Brief description of the drawings Fig. 1 shows a three-dimensional sectional view according to the present invention; Fig. Figure 2 shows a plan sectional view according to the present invention; Fig. 3 shows a plan sectional view of another embodiment according to the present invention. Detailed description of the implementation examples

[0009] It is based on the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, which show a preferred embodiment of the collagen particle structure according to the invention, which can be used to improve skin hydration, skin firming, and skin elasticity. The following description only illustrates embodiments of the invention and is not to be understood as limiting the claims.

[0010] The collagen particle structure A comprises: a collagen core 10 primarily containing fish scale collagen; and a protective outer layer 20 encasing the collagen core 10 to prevent the external environment from affecting the activity of the collagen core, thus improving the storage stability and absorption rate of the collagen particle structure A by the human body.

[0011] Based on the above, the beneficial effects and functions of the individual components of Collagen Core 10 are described below: 1. Fish scale collagen powder can increase skin moisture and promote endogenous collagen synthesis, achieving beneficial effects such as skin beautification, improved makeup adhesion, high moisture retention, and increased skin elasticity. 2. Fish scale collagen powder counteracts skin aging by slowing collagen degradation. It inhibits collagenolysis, improves the skin's antioxidant levels, and suppresses skin inflammation, thus reducing signs of aging. 3. Fish scale collagen powder promotes wound healing by increasing the healing rate, tensile strength in the wound area, and collagen deposition in the tissue. 4. Fish scale collagen powder supports the regeneration of damaged skin and inhibits scarring. It can also significantly increase the healing rate and shorten the time until scars disappear. 5. Fish scale collagen powder helps increase muscle strength, counteracts sarcopenia, and improves the loss of function caused by muscle wasting. 6. Fish scale collagen powder improves the lubrication of articular cartilage, promotes chondrocyte repair, and slows the degradation of joint structures. Furthermore, it stimulates the production of hyaluronic acid in the synovial membrane and counteracts degenerative osteoarthritis.

[0012] As mentioned above, the collagen core 10 can be protected from influences and damage by the external environment by the protective outer layer 20 serving as a sheath, thereby maintaining its functionality and improving its absorption rate.

[0013] It will be Fig.3, which shows another embodiment of the present invention. The main difference from the preferred embodiment is that an acid-resistant membrane layer 30 is further provided between the collagen core 10 and the protective outer layer 20 to prevent the collagen core 10 from being destroyed by the gastric acid present in the human digestive tract, thereby further improving the absorption rate of the collagen core 10 in the human body. In practice, the acid-resistant membrane layer 30 is made of one of the following materials or a combination thereof: pectin, trehalose, polyunsaturated fatty acid, or amino acid.

[0014] The protective outer layer 20 consists of one of the following proteins or a combination thereof: pea protein, corn protein, yeast protein or potato protein.

[0015] Furthermore, the present invention can be manufactured in various dosage forms, e.g., as capsules, powder sachets, tablets, or packaged in cans, to meet different usage needs and occasions. It can be administered either directly orally or after dissolving in a liquid, for consumption, but the present invention is not subject to any limitations in this regard.

[0016] The collagen particle structure can be taken directly orally or drunk after dissolving it in a liquid. Beneficial effects:

[0017] The present invention provides a collagen particle structure that can be used to improve skin hydration, skin tightening, and skin elasticity, achieving the beneficial effects of reducing skin wrinkles and dullness, shrinking pores, increasing moisture content, tightening and elasticity of the skin, improving breast firmness and firmness, increasing bone density, improving joint flexibility and elasticity, promoting the regeneration of articular cartilage, relieving joint pain and stiffness, and improving symptoms associated with arthritis.

[0018] In addition, the protective outer layer acting as a coating can significantly extend the shelf life and maintain the activity by avoiding damage caused by the external environment, so as to achieve the industrial applicability of maintaining the activity and functionality of the collagen core and increasing the absorption rate and product efficacy.

[0019] The present invention thus provides a collagen particle structure that can be used to improve skin hydration, skin firming, and skin elasticity, comprising: a collagen core primarily containing fish scale collagen; and a protective outer layer encasing the collagen core to prevent the external environment from affecting the activity of the collagen core, thus improving the storage stability and absorption rate of the collagen particle structure by the human body.The present invention achieves the beneficial effects of reducing skin wrinkles and dull complexion, shrinking pores, increasing moisture content, tightening and elasticity of the skin, improving breast firmness and firmness, increasing bone density, improving joint flexibility and elasticity, promoting the regeneration of articular cartilage, relieving joint pain and stiffness, and improving symptoms associated with arthritis.
