Collagen Q&A

What is Collagen?
Collagen makes up about one-third of the protein in our body. It’s what keeps our skin supple, hair shiny, nails strong and joints moving freely. In fact, up to 75% of our skin is made up of collagen it’s a major component of the integrity of the outer extracellular matrix (aka what gives you smooth, healthy and glowing skin)

What is Marine Collagen?
Marine collagen is collagen specifically derived from fish skin or scales. Collagen in general is a structural protein and the most abundant protein found in the body. It is rich in essential amino acids. However, our body’s natural collagen production decreases as we age. Consuming marine collagen may therefore be beneficial to fighting the aging process and supporting the body inside and out.

What is sustainable marine collagen?
Collagen is sourced from the skins of fish typically discarded as a by-product.
The formulation contains Marine Collagen in the form of Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen Peptides extracted from Tilapia and Basa. A marine collagen benefit that you might not know is that marine collagen is the most environmentally sustainable source of collagen. An estimated 60% of by-products of fish processing become waste1, but researchers recently discovered that these by-products, especially the collagen-rich fish skin, have amazing health-boosting properties. Additionally, marine collagen made from fish skin helps to reduce environmental pollution and provides a superior and beneficial source of collagen protein.
