Fish collagen powder

Vis bevat naast de gezonde goede vetten ook hoogwaardige eiwitten. Eiwitten zijn onze bouwstoffen. Naarmate we ouder worden of gaan sporten, worden ze belangrijker. Van al het eiwit in ons lichaam is 30% collageen. Bindweefsel geeft ons structuur en stevigheid. Het belangrijkste onderdeel hiervan is collageen. Ook huid, botten, pezen, kraakbeen, gewrichtsbanden, bloedvaten en tanden bestaan voor een groot gedeelte uit collageen. Naarmate we ouder worden, neemt de collageen productie af.

Collagen hydrolysate means that Fish collagen has been cut (hydrolyzed) into smaller pieces of protein called peptides. Every collagen supplement (powder or capsules) is a hydrolysate. In our bodies, we further cut the peptides into individual amino acids that are absorbed into the blood. The reason Arctic Blue chooses Fish collagen is that it is most similar to human collagen, which is explained here. In addition, Arctic Blue is the only brand with a seal of approval for the collagen powder, which proves that it comes from wild fish (and not from e.g. farmed tilapia or cows).

Er zijn duidelijke resultaten gekomen uit een studie gedaan met Arctic Blue’s viscollageen. In deze wetenschappelijke studie (lees hier de samenvatting) door een Duits laboratorium, werd bij 20 proefpersonen werd de hydratie in de huid gemeten na 8 weken inname van 10 gram collageen per dag. Hieruit bleek dat in de onderarm een verbetering van 11% meetbaar was. Echter in het gezicht bleek de hydratie van de huid door de werking van het collageen met maar liefst 35% te zijn toegenomen.

The formation of wrinkles is related to many factors. It is well known that collagen is responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin. It is a fact that as you get a little older, collagen breaks down. Collagen type I is found in: skin, bones, cartilage, connective tissue, ligaments, tendons, blood vessels, hair and nails. It consists of about 20 different amino acids. More than half of these are essential or semi-essential amino acids. Essential means that we cannot make them ourselves, but must get them through our diet. So depending on your diet, taking extra Fish collagen is helpful.

It doesn't matter that much. Personally, I prefer a scoop in my morning cottage cheese with oatmeal. But you can also dissolve it in a cup of tea, water or juice/smoothie.

This natural version has no added substances and thus contains only Fish collagen peptides.

Studies show that an optimal dosage is between 5 and 10 grams per day. In other words, that's 1 to 2 scoops. When using collagen for the first time, 10 grams per day is recommended in the first month. After that, a daily maintenance dosage of 5 grams is sufficient. That's why we put this on the packaging.

Per measuring spoon - 5gr:
