Marine collagen is derived from fish and other marine sources, while other types of collagen come from animals like cows and chickens. Marine collagen peptides are produced from collagen through both chemical and enzymatic hydrolysis. As a result, their smaller molecular weight increases their water solubility, making them 1.5 times more bioavailable and absorbable than other collagen.

In addition to accelerating wound healing, marine collagen has also been shown to have anti-aging properties by slowing the aging process by reducing fine lines, improving skin elasticity, and enhancing the overall structure and appearance of the skin, resulting in a more youthful and vibrant complexion.

If you are allergic to fish or shellfish, you should not use marine collagen. Collagen is a protein naturally found in the body and is known to have very little side effects. Overall it is safe, but following recommended daily dosages is essential. Some people may experience mild digestive discomfort or bloating, so consult with a healthcare professional if you have concerns.

Unlike seafoods or fish oils that may contain levels of mercury, marine collagen supplements are pure protein sourced from fish skin and scales, therefore very low risk of metal poisoning.
