Something fishy about Hydrolyze Marine Collagen

What is marine collagen?

What’s on the horizon for new energy and vitality?

This month we at Enervite invite you to understand the benefits of hydrolyze marine collagen. 

Marine collagen is a type of collagen protein that is derived from the skin, bones, and scales of fish and other marine animals. It's primarily Type I collagen, the most abundant type in the human body, which is especially important for healthy skin, bones, tendons and ligaments.

Key Facts About Marine Collagen:

·         Source: Typically extracted from cold-water fish, like cod or snapper.

·         Dosge forms: Usually hydrolyzed (broken down into smaller peptides), making it easier to digest and absorb, this is often referred to as collagen peptides or hydrolyzed collagen.

·         Benefits:

o    Skin health: May improve elasticity, hydration, and reduce wrinkles.

o    Joint and bone support: Can promote joint comfort and bone strength.

o    Hair and nails: May help strengthen brittle nails and promote hair growth.

o    Gut health: Some evidence suggests collagen peptides may support the gut lining.

Differences from Other Collagen Types:

·         Bovine collagen (from cows) typically includes both Type I and Type III collagen.

·         Porcine collagen (from pigs) also has Types I and III.

·         Marine collagen is considered more bioavailable than bovine or porcine forms, meaning it's absorbed more efficiently by the body.

Sustainability Note:

Marine collagen is often marketed as a more sustainable option because it uses parts of the fish that would otherwise be discarded in the seafood industry.
