About Marine Collagen

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body; it is responsible for maintaining the integrity of skin, bones, muscles and tendons.

As you age, the levels of collagen that your body produces will gradually decrease. Collagen supplements, such as marine collagen, can support your body as natural collagen levels lower, encouraging hydrated and supple skin, muscle integrity and bone strength.

Marine collagen specifically comes from the skin, bones and scales of marine organisms, typically from wild-caught white fish such as cod or farmed freshwater fish such as tilapia and pangasius. Marine Collagen is particularly abundant in type I collagen and essential for skin, bone, tendon and tissue structure.

What are the Benefits of Marine Collagen?

One of the biggest reasons some people prefer marine collagen is that its amino acid profile closely resembles the amino acid profile found in human collagen, making it a compatible source.

Marine collagen can improve and maintain skin elasticity, potentially reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Marine collagen may provide the amino acids necessary to reduce brittleness and support hair and nail growth.

Marine collagen can contribute to maintaining joint health, and it may help cushion joints and support overall joint health.

When considering environmental friendliness, both bovine collagen and marine collagen are considered environmentally sustainable.

Oftentimes, byproducts of fish that may normally go to waste can instead be used in collagen peptide products.

While marine collagen is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians, it is an ideal choice for pescatarians or those with a halal diet.

What We Say...

“Marine collagen is a beautiful addition to an inside-out beauty routine, particularly for those looking to support skin, hair and nail health. It works best when taken consistently, alongside daily SPF, targeted skincare, hydration and a balanced diet that supports your skin from within.”
– Julia, Director

How is Marine Collagen Different from Other Types of Collagen?

Marine collagen is a very popular form of collagen, but how does it compare to bovine collagen or vegan collagen? Each form of collagen supports your body differently, and the best choice is unique to you and what your health goals are.

Marine collagen: Marine collagen is sourced from fish skin and scales and generally has good absorption. It primarily consists of Type I Collagen, which is the same as 80% of our skin's collagen and targets skin, hair, nails and bones. The peptides in Marine Collagen are typically sized at 500 Daltons and are smaller and can be efficiently absorbed, making marine collagen a great choice for those looking to support collagen levels in skin, hair, nails, joints and tendons.

Bovine Collagen: Bovine collagen is sourced from cattle hide and bones and typically consists of both type I and type III Collagen; type I is great for skin, bones, and tendons, and type III is great for tissue repair and skin elasticity. Bovine collagen is often the best choice for those looking for joint, gut or muscle support.

Vegan Collagen: Vegan collagen uses plant-based amino acids like glycine, proline and lysine, as well as nutrients that help to support your body’s own natural collagen production. Plant-based formulas such as the DR. VEGAN skin saviour supplement offers a high-strength formula that can fuel your body’s natural collagen production for a clearer, glowing complexion and healthier ageing.

Who Should Avoid Taking Marine Collagen?

Whilst marine collagen has a very strong safety profile amongst published research at the standard doses discussed below, there are some people with certain conditions or allergies who will need to avoid marine collagen:

Those with fish allergies should avoid marine collagen entirely; bovine or even supplemental plant-based collagens may be a better option.

Pregnant women: the safety of pregnant or breastfeeding women taking high doses of collagen supplements has not been specifically researched or tested; you should therefore discuss with your GP before taking any form of marine collagen.

Kidney disease: if you have impaired kidney function, high protein intake, including that of marine collagen, warrants discussion with your GP or a healthcare professional.

Incorporating Marine Collagen Supplements into Your Wellness Routine

What's the best way to take it? Marine collagen can be taken in any form you prefer; however, there is some loose guidance on how it may be best to take the supplement based on the form you take it in:

Capsule format: with breakfast, helpful with establishing a consistent routine.
Powder format: mixed into morning coffee, smoothie, or water.
Liquid sachet: follow guidance on the supplement, a handy on-the-go option you can pop in your bag.

When should I take marine collagen? Marine collagen does not have any specific timing requirements; creating a consistent daily routine of taking the supplement is more important than the specific time of day that you take it.

How much marine collagen should I take? 1000-2500mg of marine collagen is the recommended daily dosage for noticeable results. Lower doses in the 500- 1000 mg range may produce subtle effects, but the strongest evidence of results comes from a dosage of 1000mg and above daily. It is important to always refer to the advice on the specific supplements you are taking.
