From the skin of the fish
Fish collagen is made from the skin and scales of fish, parts that are left over after filleting. This collagen comes from wild-caught fish from FAO area 27, the north-eastern part of the Atlantic Ocean, and consists almost entirely of type I collagen.
Acerola and strawberry
Acerola, also known as West Indian cherry, is a small red fruit from Central America that is one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C. The extract in this powder is standardised to 25% vitamin C. The flavour comes from natural strawberry flavouring, and the sweetness from stevia.
Use
Mix two scoops, 20 grams, with 300 ml of water, juice, milk, a smoothie or a shake. A 500 gram jar lasts 25 days. Contains fish.
What is Collagen Hydrolysate?
Collagen hydrolysate is a specially processed protein that plays an essential role in the structure and support of various tissues in the body. It is naturally obtained from connective tissue, skin and tendons and undergoes an enzymatic process to make it more digestible and absorbable. This makes collagen hydrolysate an efficient source of amino acids that are important for various biological processes.
Natural Vitamin C and Strawberry Flavour
This collagen hydrolysate is enriched with natural vitamin C from Acerola. Vitamin C plays a role in various bodily processes and contributes to a balanced diet. In addition, it is sweetened with natural stevia and has a delicious wild strawberry flavour, which makes it ideal for mixing into drinks and smoothies.
Why Collagen from Wild Fish?
Collagen hydrolysate from wild fish is a premium option compared to other sources. Wild fish is raised in a natural environment and therefore does not contain antibiotics or artificial additives. This ensures a pure product with a balanced amino acid profile. The fast solubility and fruity taste make it a versatile choice for everyday use. Sourced from sustainably wild-caught fish from European waters. Contains type I collagen, an essential structural protein. Delicious wild strawberry flavour, sweetened with natural stevia. Contains natural vitamin C from Acerola. More than 95% protein per serving. Quickly soluble and easily digestible. Free from added sugars, preservatives and artificial substances. Available in a 500 gram jar for long term use.
How Do You Use Collagen Hydrolysate?
Collagen hydrolysate is easy to mix in both hot and cold drinks, such as water, tea or smoothies. The delicious strawberry flavour makes drinking it a pleasant experience. It dissolves quickly and can be effortlessly added to your daily routine.
Important Amino Acids in Collagen
Collagen hydrolysate contains a unique mix of amino acids, including glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. These amino acids play a role in the construction and support of various body proteins. Glycine supports various body functions, while proline and hydroxyproline are important for the structure of tissues.
Suitable for Various Diets
Collagen hydrolysate is a suitable addition to various diets. Due to the low amount of carbohydrates and fats, it fits within a keto or paleo lifestyle. It is free from unnecessary additives and can easily be combined with other healthy food choices.
European Production and Sustainability
Our collagen hydrolysate is produced according to the highest European quality standards. The wild fish is caught in the Atlantic Ocean (FAO 27) and processed in certified facilities. This not only guarantees a pure product, but also contributes to responsible and sustainable production methods.
The Production Process
Collagen hydrolysate is produced by enzymatic hydrolysis. During this process, long collagen molecules are broken down into smaller peptides with a molecular weight of approximately 3 kDa. This allows the body to absorb the amino acids faster and use them more efficiently.
Purity and Quality
Each batch of collagen hydrolysate is extensively tested by independent laboratories. This is analyzed for the presence of heavy metals and other possible contaminants. This guarantees a safe and reliable product of high quality.
Differences Between Collagen Sources
There are different sources of collagen, each with their own characteristics. Fish collagen with strawberry has a wild strawberry flavour, fast absorption, type I collagen and 95% protein. Bone broth has a mild flavour, normal absorption, type I to V collagen and 98% protein. Kefir whey has a creamy flavour, fast absorption, no collagen and 90% protein.
Historical Uses of Collagen
Collagen is an integral part of traditional diets. Historically, collagen was consumed in abundance through bone broth and cartilage-rich cuts of meat. This provided essential nutrients that are often lacking in modern diets. Supplementing with collagen hydrolysate offers a practical way to replenish these valuable substances.
Collagen and Hydration
Collagen naturally contains water molecules, which is essential for the functional properties of this protein. Good hydration contributes to the preservation of collagen in the body and helps with the efficient absorption of nutrients. Drinking enough water in combination with collagen can contribute to an optimal balance.
