BENEFITS
Alchemix Hydrix pairs 8,000 mg of hydrolysed Korean marine collagen peptides (Type I & III) with hyaluronic acid, resveratrol, CoQ10, vitamin C, biotin and zinc. Collagen builds the structure that holds water; hyaluronic acid is what binds it. In trials of marine collagen, skin hydration rose 12% over 8 weeks and elasticity 23% over 12.
Hyaluronic acid binds water; collagen builds the scaffold that keeps it there. Trials of marine collagen peptides report hydration rising 12% over 8 weeks and 14% over 12 against placebo, and one 12-week study measured hydration improving 2.9 times more than placebo. Hydration is usually the first thing people notice, because plumper skin reads as smoother almost immediately.
Type I collagen gives skin tensile strength, Type III gives it suppleness, and Hydrix delivers both. In a 12-week randomised, triple-blind, placebo-controlled trial of marine collagen, firmness improved 25% and elasticity 23% against placebo. Vitamin C is in the formula because collagen synthesis physically stalls without it — it is a required cofactor, not a marketing addition.
The same 12-week trial recorded a 35% reduction in wrinkle score against placebo — the strongest single result in the marine collagen literature, and it came from one of the more rigorous designs in the category. Fine lines respond to a combination of better hydration and rebuilt dermal structure, which is why they shift late rather than early.
Biotin and zinc support keratin production, which is what hair and nails are made of, and collagen supplies the glycine and proline your body draws on for connective tissue. Nails often respond first — not because they matter most, but because they grow fast enough to show change before skin does.
Marine collagen is unusually rich in glycine, an amino acid your body uses in energy metabolism and in settling the nervous system before sleep. This is a quieter benefit than the skin data, and we would not sell the product on it — but it is a real part of why people report feeling better on collagen than the skin numbers alone would explain.
Whole collagen is too large a molecule for your gut to absorb. Hydrix uses hydrolysed peptides — enzymatically cut into fragments small enough to cross the intestinal wall and reach the skin through the bloodstream. Marine peptides are among the smallest available, and they are generally well tolerated, including by people who avoid other animal sources.

Marine Collagen Peptides
Benefits
Fish collagen peptides deliver Type I & III collagen — the two structural proteins that together make up the bulk of your skin’s dermis — hydrolysed into fragments small enough to be absorbed and carried to the skin. In a randomised, triple-blind, placebo-controlled trial of marine collagen, 12 weeks of daily use reduced wrinkle score by 35% and improved skin firmness by 25%, with elasticity up 23% and radiance up 22% against placebo. Other randomised trials of marine collagen peptides report a 12% rise in skin hydration after 8 weeks, and hydration improving 2.9 times more than placebo over 12 weeks. Collagen also supplies the glycine, proline and hydroxyproline your body draws on to maintain hair, nails and connective tissue.

Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is the molecule your skin uses to hold on to water, binding many times its own weight in moisture. In a 12-week randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 120 mg a day of oral hyaluronan significantly reduced crow’s-feet wrinkles and improved the skin’s water content and elasticity compared with placebo.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is not optional for collagen: it is the essential cofactor for prolyl and lysyl hydroxylase, the two enzymes that stabilise collagen’s triple-helix structure. Without enough of it, collagen synthesis stalls — which is why it is paired with the peptides in this formula. It also helps regenerate other antioxidants, including glutathione and vitamin E.
Biotin
Biotin (vitamin B7) is the coenzyme your body uses to build keratin, the structural protein in hair and nails. Its clinical benefits for hair and nail strength are well established in people who are biotin-deficient; this serving helps you meet your daily requirement.
