Description
What is Marine Collagen
ARMORICA Marine Collagen Powder is a made from wild-caught North Atlantic fish, primarily cod. Rich in Type I collagen—the most abundant type in the human body—it supports healthy skin, bones, joints, and connective tissue. Its small molecular size and high bioavailability make it one of the most effective forms of collagen supplementation.
What are Hydrolyzed Peptides?
Hydrolysis breaks collagen into smaller peptides, making it easier to absorb. Without this step, collagen would be too large to pass through the gut wall effectively. Once absorbed, hydrolyzed peptides stimulate the body’s own collagen production, supporting skin hydration, elasticity, and structural strength.
Benefits of Including Vitamin C
Vitamin C is essential for collagen production. It helps enzymes stabilise collagen molecules, improving skin and joint health. Adding vitamin C to our marine collagen supports natural collagen synthesis and offers antioxidant protection to skin cells.
Health Benefits of Marine Collagen
Marine collagen helps reduce wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and promote hydration. It supports connective tissue repair and joint comfort by maintaining cartilage and ligaments. It also contributes to bone strength and may help maintain muscle mass when combined with resistance training. Some research also links marine collagen to improved gut lining integrity.
Benefits of Wild vs Farmed Fish
Wild-caught fish offer cleaner, more nutrient-rich collagen than farmed fish. They live in open waters, eat a natural diet, and are less likely to be exposed to contaminants. ARMORICA uses only wild fish by-products, ensuring a higher-quality, more sustainable collagen source.
Marine Collagen vs Bovine Collagen
Marine collagen stands out for its superior absorption, thanks to its smaller peptides. It’s composed mostly of Type I collagen, ideal for skin elasticity and joint strength, whereas bovine collagen contains a mix of Type I and III. Marine collagen is also a more sustainable choice. Sourced from wild fish by-products, it supports responsible fishing practices, unlike bovine collagen, which often comes from industrial farming.
Ways to Incorporate Into Diet
Flavourless and odourless, ARMORICA Marine Collagen dissolves easily in hot or cold drinks. Add it to coffee, tea, smoothies, soups, or baking for convenient daily use.
