FAQs:
What's the difference between collagen and marine collagen?
- It all comes down to sourcing. Our collagen peptides are sourced from the hides of grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine, while our marine collagen is sourced from non-GMO, wild-caught cod.
- The latter is a favorite among those following a pescatarian-friendly diet.
- Marine collagen's benefits are the same as the benefits of bovine collagen.
What types of collagen are in our marine collagen powder?
- Our pescatarian-friendly marine collagen powder contains types I and III.
- Type I is the most prevalent type of collagen in the body.
- This is the type of collagen you're probably thinking about if you're interested in preserving the levels of collagen in your skin, hair, or nails.
- But type I collagen isn't just a beauty-related substance; it's also a major component of the tendons, organs, and bones.
- Type III is generally found in reticular fibers, such as in the bone marrow, and is usually found alongside type I collagen in the body.
Can you use collagen for weight loss?
- Marine collagen, like any protein, may promote satiety (a feeling of fullness) and can easily be added to any beverage, like fruit smoothies or post-workout shakes.
- We advise using this product as a food supplement only.
- Do not use collagen for weight loss.
- Since we can't offer individual medical advice, we recommend discussing your health goals with your licensed healthcare professional.
How much collagen should you take every day?
- While we typically recommend taking 10-20g of collagen per day, we also recognize that everyone's lifestyle and wellness goals are different.
