Marine Collagen Powder (Fish Collagen)

Product Overview

Our hydrolysed Marine Collagen powder — also known as Fish Collagen powder— is a premium-quality, 100% natural collagen peptide ideal for customers seeking a non-mammalian source. Manufactured from the skins of wild-caught fish harvested from the crystal-clear waters of the North Atlantic Ocean, it offers one of the purest and most sustainable sources of high-quality collagen available. Its outstanding bioavailability and neutral profile make it an excellent bio-active ingredient for inclusion in a wide range of foods and supplements, including sports drinks, smoothies, protein shakes, and energy bars.

What Is Collagen?

Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the human body, providing structure and support to skin, bones, tendons, joints, and connective tissues. Collagen peptides are a hydrolysed form of collagen, created through an enzymatic hydrolysis process that breaks the protein down into smaller, more accessible fragments.

During hydrolysis:

•       The protein loses its traditional gelling effect

•       The peptides become fully water-soluble

•       The finished product is highly digestible

•       It becomes well-suited for use as an oral supplement or food ingredient

Collagen peptides supply the specific amino acids required to support the development and maintenance of collagen within the body’s skin and connective tissues, making them a valuable nutritional ingredient in health, beauty, and sports nutrition products.

What Does 3 kDa Mean?

Our Marine Collagen peptides have an exceptionally low average molecular weight of 3 kDa.

kDa (kilodalton) is a unit of molecular mass, with 1 kDa equal to 1,000 daltons. The lower the kDa value, the smaller the peptide particles and the easier they are for the body to absorb. A 3 kDa collagen has noticeably smaller particles and lower molecular weight than, for example, a 6 kDa variant, meaning:

•       Faster and more efficient digestion

•       Significantly greater bioavailability

•       Better transport and utilisation within the body

•       A smoother mouthfeel and excellent solubility in both hot and cold liquids

This makes our Marine Collagen particularly well-suited to beverages, functional foods, and supplements where rapid absorption is desired.

Bioavailability and Benefits

Because of their small molecular size, collagen peptides are absorbed more effectively by the body than traditional gelatine. Clinical studies have shown that hydrolysed collagen peptides are highly bioavailable and can help support:

•       Skin hydration, elasticity, and appearance

•       Joint comfort and mobility

•       Bone and connective tissue health

•       Healthy hair and nails

•       General wellbeing and post-exercise recovery

Recommended Use

Clinical studies suggest a daily dose of 10 g of collagen peptides, taken consistently for a minimum of three months, to achieve the best results. The powder is fully water-soluble and can be easily stirred into cold or warm drinks, smoothies, yoghurts, soups, or baking mixes without altering flavour or texture.

Typical Applications

Marine Collagen is a highly versatile functional ingredient widely used in:

•       Sports drinks, protein shakes, and recovery beverages

•       Smoothies and functional drinks

•       Energy and protein bars

•       Yoghurts, desserts, and dairy products

•       Beauty-from-within and nutricosmetic products

•       Dietary supplements and capsules

•       Food fortification and healthy snack formulations

Suitability

Our Marine Collagen provides an ideal alternative for customers who prefer not to use collagen derived from traditional bovine or porcine sources, whether for dietary, religious, or personal preference reasons.

Storage and Handling

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and strong odours. Keep tightly sealed once opened to preserve product quality and shelf life.
