Marine Collagen 1Kg

Our Marine collagen 1Kg powder is great for those who do not want a Mammal -derived collagen.

Our Marine Collagen is manufactured from deep-sea cod skin (Gadus morhua). Harvested from the crystal clear waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. This provides the purest source of high quality and 100% natural collagen peptides.

This  Collagen stands out due to its low molecular weight (3kDa). Because it is easier to digest, it gives an increased bioavailability. Marine Collagen is the ideal bio-active ingredient to include in a wide range of foodstuffs such as sports drinks, smoothies and energy bars.

What does 3kDa mean

Our Marine Collagen peptides have an average molecular weight of 3 kDa. 1kDa is an abbreviation for 1000 dalton which describes a unit of molecular mass consisting of 1000 daltons.  This means that a 3 kDa variant has smaller particles and lower molecular weight than a collagen with a weight of 6 kDa. This is great for better absorption by the body. For more information the advantages of Marine collagen please click on this link

What is collagen?

Collagen peptides are a hydrolysed form of collagen, which is a unique oligopeptide supplying the necessary amino acids for the development of collagen in human connective tissues and skin. Through an enzymatic hydrolysis process, the product loses its gelling effect and becomes water-soluble.

Collagen peptides are highly digestible and suitable as an oral supplement. Studies show that collagen peptides have a better bioavailability in the human body than gelatine. This is due to the difference in molecular size. Our product is suitable for those who do not use collagen from traditional bovine and porcine sources.

Clinical studies recommend a daily dose of 10 g, for a minimum of three months, for best effect.

We also sell other sizes of Marine collagen. Specifications and COA’s are available on request, by sending an email to: sales@mmingredients.co.uk
