Powerhouse food supplement protein Marine Collagen Powder Collagen Powder plus hyaluronic acid and essential B and C vitamins. Unflavoured so ideal for adding to smoothies, meals etc.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, making up approximately 30% of your total body protein. Collagen is the primary building block of your skin, bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments and other supporting connective tissues. Collagen is also present in your organs, blood vessel linings and intestines.
Generally, collagen production starts to slow after the age of 35 but, depending on diet and lifestyle, it can be a decade or so before these effects are noticed. Read more on Collagen and Looking Younger.
Why Hydrolysed Marine Collagen?
The percentage of collagen that is actually absorbed into your body when ingested (bioavailability) is critical to the effectiveness of the supplement. Bioavailability largely determines how well any nutrient you ingest works.
The issue with collagen molecules is that they are enormous, so unless they’ve been hydrolysed, they are simply too big to be absorbed when ingested, and thus never reach the dermis, which is the underlying layer of the skin where collagen lives. Our collagen absorbs quickly into the body and is allowed to make its way to the areas it is needed most
Hyaluronic Acid
Our Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is Sodium hyaluronate – the salt form of HA and is a water-soluble salt that holds 1000 times its weight in water. This way the HA is more stable and less likely to oxidise. Sodium hyaluronate has a much lower molecular size than standard HA, which allows it to penetrate better.
Naticol®
Naticol®is a fish collagen peptide, produced by enzymatic hydrolysis. It is a mixture of peptides with various molecular weights including some dipeptides and tripeptides. It is made from fish skin and scales. Using Naticol® in our product has the following advantages over other collagen sources;
• Bioavailability: Naticol® provides the appropriate amino acids which make up the collagen in the body. The low molecular weights grades allow absorption into the bloodstream after digestion.
• Sustainability: Naticol® is made from the skins and scales of fish that would otherwise be discarded in the fillet process.
• Quality and traceability: Naticol® is produced in Europe under ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 standards.
• Safety: The ionic demineralization and filtrations assure the maximum purity and a high collagen ratio (98% – 99% on a dry matter basis).
