Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body – and fish collagen, also known as marine collagen, is one of the purest and most bioavailable forms. In this article, you will learn what marine collagen is, how it differs from other collagen sources, and which products we offer at Jennifer Frey.
What is Fish Collagen?
Fish collagen is derived from the skin, scales, or bones of fish and primarily consists of type I collagen – the type of collagen also found in human skin, tendons, and bones. Through the hydrolysis process, it is broken down into smaller peptide chains that the body can absorb more easily.
A special feature of marine collagen is its low molecular mass (measured in Daltons, or DA). The lower the DA value, the smaller the peptides – and the easier they can be utilized by the body. For comparison: Our bovine INTENS GLOW RITUAL Tripeptide Collagen pure has a molecular size of ~500 Daltons.
Marine Collagen vs. Bovine or Porcine Collagen
Compared to collagen from cattle or pigs, marine collagen is preferred by many people because:
- It is suitable for individuals who do not consume pork or beef
- It has a particularly fine texture and dissolves well
- It consists predominantly of Type I collagen
Note: Marine collagen is not vegan or vegetarian, as it is derived from fish. Our Collagen Premium Support Complex (vegan) offers a vegan alternative.
