Marine Collagen.
Following the popularity of our Antiox Beauty Collagen, we endeavored to search the deep sea to bring you our Marine Collagen + C.
In case you’ve been living under a rock and don’t know what collagen is; Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and provides structure for bones muscles, skin and tendons. As we age the body’s ability to naturally replenish collagen decreases, so that’s when supplementation steps in.
This new kid on the block is unflavoured so can be added to basically anything to give you a collagen kick - throw it in your morning juice or smoothie or even add it to your cooking (keeping in mind heat can damage the vitamin C). A serving size of as little as 1-3g of collagen has been shown to improve skin appearance such as fine lines and plumpness, who doesn’t want that? Within 6 weeks you should start to notice enhanced hydration in the skin, and within 12 weeks improvement with skin wrinkling and elasticity.
You’re probably wondering the difference between Antiox Beauty Collagen and Marine Collagen + C is – As the name suggests, the Marine Collagen + C is simply 97% collagen with added Vitamin C. Antiox Beauty Collagen is 45% collagen but provides a little extra oomph than its fellow companion. While it still contains Marine Collagen and Vitamin C, it also comprises of; Zinc, Selenium, Silica, Vitamin E, L-cysteine, L-Glycine, Biotin and a bunch of antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress (imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in your body). The added Selenium also assists in the production of optimal hair and nail strength, making it an all-around beaut!
Now you’ve heard both sides to the story, it’s time to decide which side to choose.
Marine Collagen +C is unflavoured to make it easy to include in a variety of every day uses. Feel free to add it to existing recipes in your diet such as juices, smoothies, bliss balls, coffee or chia pudding.
What is Collagen?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and provides structure for bones muscles, skin and tendons. The ability to replenish collagen naturally decreases as we age. Collagen fibers in aged skin become thicker and shorter, impacting the skin’s structure, elasticity, and firmness. However, as it is required for a variety of tissues, it has many more functions beyond healthy skin.
What Type of Collagen is Marine Collagen +C?
Marine collagen is a type I collagen, the most abundant collagen in the human body. Type I is best known for providing the foundation for beautiful skin, strong connective tissues, and sturdy bones. Marine Collagen has been clinically shown to increase the formation of both type I and III collagens within the body.
How much do I use?
We recommend that you take 1 tablespoon (6g) per day. However, serving sizes as small as 1-3g of collagen has been shown to improve skin appearance.
