What is Collagen? Collagen is a naturally occurring structural protein in the body and is necessary for the creation of bone, cartilage, muscle, skin and ligaments. Collagen is responsible for the elasticity and strength of our skin, hair, nails, blood vessels and eyes.
Why do we need Collagen supplements? As we age, natural production of collagen in our body slows down by 1% each year. Our collagen consumption from natural sources has been declining over time due to our changing dietary habits. Due to the deterioration of the collagen’s elasticity our skin begins to sag in places and causes wrinkles as we age. Marine Collagen helps initiate new collagen molecules in our bodies and maintain it's youthful radiance and performance.
How is Collagen made? Collagen supplements are made from collagen-rich animal tissues. Such tissues are present in the skin and bones of cattle and fish scales and skin, which are mostly discarded during meat processing. The proteins are denatured to form gelatin. It is broken down into smaller fragments and then combined into products in the form of powders, gummies, capsules and protein bars.

Our collagen can provide the amino acids which make up for collagen in these tissues. Furthermore it may also increase the dietary absorption of calcium3.
WOUND HEALING: Amino acids found in collagen are a critical components in fibroblast formation, wound contraction and scar formation.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Fish scales is a product of the fish that often ends up unused as a landfill. We are proud to contribute to a better usage of the fish by producing collagen. About 11.7 million tons of unused fish parts are discarded annually during processing, which makes their use to make collagen environmentally - friendly. Also, fish protein in general releases less greenhouse gas emissions than most meat products like bovine collagen. Be mindful of the environment when you shop from us by recycling product packaging.
