- What is marine collagen peptide powder?
- It is collagen extracted from fish skin and scales, broken into small peptides so it dissolves more easily. Marine collagen is mainly Type I, the type found in skin, hair and nails.
- How does it compare with bovine collagen?
- Marine collagen is Type I and comes from fish; bovine collagen usually supplies Type I and Type III. Both are sold as peptides, and the choice often comes down to diet and whether you want a pescatarian source.
- How do I take it?
- Stir one scoop into water, coffee, juice or a smoothie, or mix it into yogurt or soup. Follow the scoop size and daily amount on the tub, and start with less if you are new to collagen.
- Does it dissolve in cold drinks?
- Peptides disperse better in warm or room-temperature liquid and can clump in cold water. Whisk or shake well, and add it to smoothies or coffee for the smoothest result.
- Is it suitable for pescatarians?
- Yes, it is fish-derived, so it fits a pescatarian diet. Anyone with a fish allergy should avoid it, and check the label for other allergens.
- How long until I notice a difference?
- Collagen studies on skin usually run for eight to twelve weeks, so give it at least two to three months of daily use. Results vary, and the evidence for hair growth is weaker than for skin.
