What's The Difference Between Collagen And Marine Collagen?

It all comes down to sourcing. Our Collagen Peptides is sourced from the hides of grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine, while our Marine Collagen is sourced from non-GMO, wild-caught cod. The latter is a favorite among those following a pescatarian-friendly diet. Marine collagen's benefits are the same as the benefits of bovine collagen.

What Types Of Collagen Are In Our Marine Collagen Powder?

Our pescatarian-friendly marine collagen powder is Types I and III. Type I is the most prevalent type of collagen in the body. This is the type of collagen you're probably thinking about if you're interested in preserving the levels of collagen in your skin, hair or nails. But Type I collagen isn't just a beauty-related substance. It's also a major component of the tendons, organs and bones. Type III is generally found in reticular fibers, such as in the bone marrow. It's usually found alongside Type I collagen in the body.

Can You Use Collagen For Weight Loss?

Marine Collagen, like any protein, may promote satiety (a feeling of fullness) and can easily be added to any beverage, like fruit smoothies or post-workout shakes. We advise using this product as a food supplement only. Do not use collagen for weight loss. Since we can't offer individual medical advice, we recommend discussing your health goals with your licensed healthcare professional.

How Much Collagen Should You Take Every Day?

While we typically recommend taking 10-20g of collagen per day, we also recognize everyone's lifestyle and wellness goals are different.
