Why marine fish and not cattle
Most of the collagen on the market comes from pigs and cattle, usually from intensive livestock farming. This powder comes from wild-caught marine fish from certified sustainable fisheries and supplies type I collagen, the same main form found in human skin and bones.
What hydrolysis does to the powder
Hydrolysis cuts the long collagen chains into short peptides. As a result, the powder dissolves cold and does not clump in water, coffee or tea. It is the same raw material as gelatin, only broken down further, so it does not gel.
Why nothing has been added
This jar contains one ingredient: collagen hydrolysate from wild-caught marine fish. No flavouring, no sweetener and no colouring. The powder is neutral in taste, so it can be stirred into coffee, yoghurt or porridge without being noticed. If you do want flavour, choose the strawberry variant.
Where collagen is found in the body
About thirty per cent of all proteins in the human body is collagen. This biopolymer is found in all connective tissue, from skin and joints to the organs, and gives tissue its firmness and structure. The body renews its collagen over a period of about six months. In the body, collagen is in form somewhere between a solid crystal and a liquid, which has earned it the name liquid crystalline. Water plays a role in this, so drinking enough is part of it in any case.
Collagen hydrolysate from wild caught sea fish by Ergomax
Collagen hydrolysate is the best supplement in our range for skin, hair and nails. Therefore, this superior and cost-effective product belongs to nutricosmetics. Collagen hydrolysate mixes easily with liquids and is absorbed very quickly. It is neutral in taste. Within minutes, the body thus has the specific amino acids and amino acid compounds it needs. Naturally, Ergomax ensures sustainable production and distribution.
NOTICE: This product comes with a measuring scoop of approximately 10 g of powder. However, one batch was supplied with a smaller scoop. This smaller scoop holds only 3.1 g of powder. This concerns batch E19ERG5 / EXP 02-2028. If you have this batch (see the bottom of the container), please use 3–6 scoops to reach the recommended daily amount. We apologize for any possible confusion. Questions? Feel free to call or email us!

A strong amino acid profile
Collagen hydrolysate in the form of collagen powder contains the important amino acids: glycine, lysine and proline in high concentrations. The unique ratios of these amino acids are specific to the collagen in our bodies. It is therefore essential that we get them through diet or supplementation. Supplementation with collagen hydrolysate can be an excellent choice for several reasons.
Collagen powder from sustainable wild-caught marine fish
There are several sources for collagen. Porcine and bovine collagen are the most common. These forms come mainly from the bioindustry and intensive animal husbandry. Ergomax chooses a different path! Because we want to offer only the best and healthiest collagen, we choose collagen from wild-caught sea fish: naturally sustainable in origin and processed in a pure way.
Neutral taste and rich in glycine
Collagen hydrolysate from wild-caught marine fish is fine white collagen powder with a neutral taste. The product has undergone an additional processing step, so the powder mixes easily with liquids and is quickly absorbed. With two tablespoons per day, you will adequately supplement your diet with this pure protein. One of the amino acids commonly found in collagen is glycine. Glycine is semi-essential. This means that the body does not naturally produce enough of it; therefore, intake of additional glycine through food is necessary. The body makes about 3 grams per day, but it needs about 10 grams per day for basic processes.
Collagen in the body
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the world. Of all the proteins in the body, 30% are collagen. This so-called biopolymer is found in all of our connective tissue, from the skin and joints to the organs. Therefore, maintaining collagen properly is very important. Collagen gives the body strength, integrity and structure. Almost everyone benefits from additional intake of collagen, but target groups such as athletes and the elderly, for example, all the more so.
Not only a passive tissue
People usually think that collagen is only a passive tissue with only mechanical properties, but this is incorrect. Collagen also has dielectric and electrical conduction properties. As a result, it acts as a kind of communication system that connects the entire body as a cohesive whole. In addition, it plays a role in energy production.
Collagen, a liquid crystal?
Our body renews all collagen every six months. For strong and well-functioning collagen, it is important to get the right nutrients, exercise appropriately, and most importantly, drink enough water. Collagen in the body is a substance that is intermediate in shape between a solid crystal and a liquid. It is therefore also known as a "Liquid Crystalline," or liquid crystal. It depends on water to function properly. Drinking enough water is therefore essential.
