Collection: Marine Collagen
Marine Collagen
Marine collagen is sourced from fish and is predominantly type I - the collagen type most associated with skin, hair and nails. Its peptides are hydrolysed into small chains that mix easily into water, coffee or a smoothie, which makes marine collagen a popular choice for a skin-led daily routine. At Elite Supps every member of our team is a certified nutritionist, so you can choose with confidence.
What Is Marine Collagen?
Marine collagen is a collagen supplement made from fish - typically the skin and scales of fish such as whitefish. It is hydrolysed into small peptides, so it dissolves easily and is simple to digest, and it is predominantly type I collagen, the most abundant collagen type in the body and the main structural protein in skin. Because it is fish-derived, marine collagen suits people who prefer not to use bovine (cattle) collagen. It is not suitable for anyone with a fish allergy.
Why Choose Marine Collagen
- Predominantly type I. Type I is the collagen type most associated with skin, hair and nails, which is why marine collagen is the usual choice for a skin-led routine.
- Hydrolysed and easy to mix. Marine collagen peptides dissolve into hot or cold liquids, so they stir into coffee, water or a smoothie without much change in taste.
- A lighter option. Marine collagen is fish-sourced rather than cattle-sourced, which some people prefer.
Marine vs Bovine Collagen
Marine collagen is predominantly type I and is often chosen for a skin-led routine; it is fish-sourced (not suitable with a fish allergy). Bovine collagen is rich in type I and type III and is the usual all-round daily choice, including for added protein.
What Marine Collagen Is Commonly Used to Support
Used as part of a daily routine, marine collagen is commonly used to support the appearance of skin, hair and nails, and may support skin hydration. Collagen is the main structural protein in skin, and marine collagen supplies the type I peptides and amino acids - glycine and proline - that collagen is rich in. Marine collagen works gradually, so it is taken consistently over several weeks rather than as a one-off. This is a supplementary product and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
How to Take Marine Collagen
A common serve is in the range of 5g to 12g of marine collagen peptides a day; follow the directions on your product. Marine collagen peptides dissolve into hot or cold liquids, so they go easily into coffee, water, smoothies or oats, and unflavoured powders change the taste very little. Marine collagen is taken consistently over time. It is derived from fish and is not suitable for anyone with a fish allergy. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or managing a health condition, talk to your healthcare professional before starting.
