Why use Vital Proteins Marine Collagen?

Vital Proteins Marine Collagen is a food supplement designed to support the appearance of skin, hair, and nails, while also promoting bone and muscle health.

It may also contribute to improved physical performance.

What is marine collagen and how is it different from bovine collagen?

Marine collagen is a protein extracted from the skin, scales, and bones of fish. It is primarily Type I collagen, the most abundant type found in the skin. In contrast, bovine collagen is sourced from the skin and bones of cows and usually contains a mix of Types I and III. Marine collagen is often preferred for its high bioavailability and its specific benefits for the skin.

Are collagen peptides easily absorbed by the body?

Yes, the collagen peptides in Vital Proteins Marine Collagen are hydrolysed, meaning they have been broken down into smaller molecules. This process improves their bioavailability, making them easier for the body to absorb. Once absorbed, they help support the body’s natural collagen production.

How long should you take marine collagen to see results?

Results can vary depending on the individual. However, improvements in skin hydration and elasticity are often reported after 4 to 8 weeks of regular use. For stronger hair and nails, a longer duration—typically 3 to 6 months—may be needed to achieve noticeable results.

Can marine collagen be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

As with any supplement, it's essential to speak with a healthcare professional before using marine collagen during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Although collagen is a natural protein, medical advice is necessary to ensure it is suitable for your specific needs and safe for both mother and baby.
