Description
Our Marine Collagen is sustainably sourced from wild-caught fish in the North Atlantic and manufactured in the UK. Collagen derived from marine sources is particularly rich in type 1 collagen peptides and some type 2 collagen. Our eco-friendly collagen is extracted from the skin, scales, and bones of fish harvested for the seafood industry, ensuring minimal waste, and requiring no additional fishing.
Marine collagen is easily absorbed due to its low molecular weight, making it easier for the body to absorb compared to other types, such as bovine collagen. Each serving of our Marine Collagen is fortified with 80mg of vitamin C, a vital nutrient needed for collagen synthesis in the skin and connective tissues. Vitamin C is also a powerful antioxidant, protecting collagen fibres from degradation.
What is Collagen?
Collagen is a structural protein abundant in the skin, connective tissues (such as tendons and ligaments), and muscles. It provides elasticity, allowing skin to stretch and bounce back while giving joints the flexibility needed to prevent injuries. As we age, our natural collagen production declines. This reduction becomes visible in the skin, which loses elasticity, and occurs in other parts of the body, including joints, increasing the risk of injury.
Benefits of Marine Collagen
Marine Collagen is rich in the amino acids glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, which are also abundant in the collagen in our body. Consuming Marine Collagen provides the body with resources to build collagen effectively and stimulates collagen production in collagen-rich tissues (connective tissues/ skin). The overall result is more collagen is produced in the body where it is needed the most, which protects joints and promotes skin health.
