Beauty Marine Collagen

FAQs

1. What is marine collagen?

   Marine collagen is a protein derived from fish and other sea life, such as shellfish. Our marine collagen is sustainably sourced (wild caught) from fish scales from the pristine coastal waters of Australia. It’s rich in Type I collagen, the most abundant form of collagen found in the human body, and known for its ability to support healthy skin, hair, nails, and bones.

   It’s often used in dietary supplements and beauty products due to its potential health benefits. It's highly bioavailable, meaning it's easily absorbed by the body.

2. How is marine collagen different from other types of collagen?

   Marine collagen powder is different from our bovine collagen in that it consists of type 1 collagen, whereas bovine collagen contains both type 1 and 3 collagen.

   If you're contemplating which option suits you best, the decision ultimately boils down to your dietary preferences. Our Premium Collagen Peptides harness the power of hydrolyzed bovine collagen, stimulating the production of type 1, 2, and 3 collagens in the body. On the other hand, our Beauty Marine Collagen utilises Pure Australian marine collagen, which contains type 1 collagen.

   Rest assured, both options deliver radiant skin, lustrous hair, strong nails, and provide support for joint and gut health.

3. What are the potential benefits of taking marine collagen?

   Taking collagen powder in Australia can be beneficial for your daily routine for several reasons:

   • Improved skin health, with increased skin elasticity and hydration, reducing wrinkles and dryness.
   • Combat inflammation and damaging free radicals.
   • Supports gut health, which can contribute to overall wellbeing.
   • Supports joint and bone health, potentially preventing bone loss and making bones denser.
   • Healthy hair, and possibly slowing down hair thinning.
   • Boosts your mood and reduces anxiety.
   • Supports healthy blood sugar levels, lowering cholesterol levels.
4. Can marine collagen improve joint pain and mobility?

   Research suggests that collagen supplements can indeed improve joint pain and mobility. Its anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce inflammation in the joints, thereby enhancing mobility.

5. How long does it take to see results from collagen supplements?

   The time it takes to see results can vary, but many sources suggest noticeable improvements within a few weeks to a few months.

   Daily consumption of hydrolysed collagen can improve skin health in 2 months, but many of our customers have noticed results in as little as 14 days. Continuous use for 3-4 months is often recommended for the best results.

6. Is marine collagen safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

   Our collagen is perfectly safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. In fact, there are many benefits of taking collagen whilst pregnant. Many customers have already experienced the benefits with skin elasticity, minimising the appearance of stretch marks and getting a radiant glow. Additionally, it promotes strong and healthy hair, already helping our customers to combat postpartum hair loss.

   However, for any specific concerns, we recommend consulting with your general practitioner, who can provide personalised advice tailored to your needs.

7. What are the primary sources of marine collagen, aside from fish?

   Our marine collagen in Australia is sourced from wild-caught fish in Australia’s pristine coastal waters, which is why it’s the best. This makes it a sustainable choice and suitable if you’re following a pescatarian diet. The collagen comes from fish scales, which have the least fishy taste or smell.

8. Are there any age restrictions or recommendations for using collagen supplements?

   There are no specific age restrictions, but it's generally recommended to start between the ages of 20 and 30, when the body's natural collagen production begins to decline.

   That said, it's never too late to start your collagen journey, as many of our customers in their 40s, 50s, and beyond are experiencing the extraordinary benefits of our products.

9. Can marine collagen help with acne or other skin conditions?

   Yes, our collagen peptides are known for their potential benefits in improving skin health, including acne and other skin conditions. Their enhanced bioavailability aids in promoting skin hydration and elasticity, which can help manage acne and improve overall skin appearance.

10. What is the difference between hydrolysed and non-hydrolysed marine collagen?

    Hydrolysed and non-hydrolysed collagen mainly differ in their molecular structure and digestibility. Hydrolysed collagen peptides undergo hydrolysis, breaking down the collagen molecules into smaller peptides, making it easier for the body to absorb.

    Both forms are available in Australia, but the hydrolysed version is often preferred for its superior bioavailability and natural integration into the body's production of collagen.

11. Can marine collagen be used as a cooking ingredient in recipes, and if so, how?

    Absolutely. Our natural marine collagen peptides in Australia are perfect for enhancing your meals with the added health benefits of collagen. You can easily incorporate our collagen powder into a variety of recipes, from smoothies and protein shakes to soups and baked goods, without altering the taste.

12. Can marine collagen supplements be combined with other dietary supplements or vitamins safely?

    Yes, collagen supplements can be safely combined with other dietary supplements or vitamins. 

    In fact, combining marine collagen with vitamin C can enhance the synthesis of collagen, leading to improved skin elasticity and health. That’s why our Beauty Marine Collagen has vitamin C, enhancing collagen production. 

    It also contains hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. Hyaluronic acid reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles, while niacinamide further boosts the skin’s production of collagen.

    Plus, consuming marine collagen for hair alongside your regular vitamins can potentially bolster hair health and growth.

13. Can athletes or individuals engaged in rigorous physical activity benefit from collagen supplementation?

    Hydrolysed marine collagen supplements in Australia can support joint health, improve recovery time, and promote lean muscle growth.

    In fact, many consider it the best marine collagen powder for those leading an active lifestyle due to its high bioavailability and potential in improving overall athletic performance. Our marine collagen powder has a high collagen content per serve compared to most, and therefore has a higher protein content.
