Fish collagen powder

Fish contains high-quality protein in addition to the healthy good fats. Proteins are our building blocks. As we age or exercise, they become more important. Of all the protein in our bodies, 30% is collagen. Connective tissue gives us structure and strength. The most important part of it is collagen. Skin, bones, tendons, cartilage, ligaments, blood vessels and teeth also consist largely of collagen. As we age, collagen production decreases.

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).

Clear results have come from a study done with Arctic Blue's Fish collagen. In this scientific study(read the summary here) by a German laboratory, 20 subjects had their skin hydration measured after 8 weeks of taking 10 grams of collagen daily. This showed that in the forearm an improvement of 11% was measurable. However, in the face, the hydration of the skin due to the action of the collagen was found to have increased by as much as 35%.

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.

One 5-gram scoop contains 5 grams of collagen hydrolysate.

Yes, the allergenic fish.

Just in a light tight closet at room temperature.

Not from cows (often the case), not from tilapia farmed fish (often the case), but it is made from the skin of wild Norwegian cod. So it is Fish collagen from wild fish.

PS: vegetable collagen does not exist. So it always has an animal origin.

A 150-gram jar contains 30 x 5 g (=30 x the daily dosage). The measuring spoon is included in the jar.

This is allowed and can be done without any problems. You then benefit from the high-quality protein that contributes to muscle building, recovery and maintenance. Active athletes, seniors and middle-aged people will certainly benefit.

The protein (and therefore amino acid) content is at least 95%.

It is a guarantee that the collagen comes from wild fish and not from farmed fish from Asia. The MSC label is the strictest label for products made from wild fish. There is therefore a check that it is actually wild fish and that the fish stock is maintained at the right level and that the fishery is not causing damage to the environment and ecosystem.

Pure Arctic Collagen is an ideal supplement to our own declining collagen supply. It contains type 1 collagen. This is the main type of collagen because 90% of our own collagen is type 1.

It is found in our skin, bones, teeth, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, hair, nails, blood vessels and connective tissue. Fish collagen is closest to our human collagen and has a good amino acid profile.

That means it contains the building blocks for our own human collagen. In addition, Pure Arctic Collagen powder also contains natural vitamin C, which is important for the formation of the body's own collagen which strengthens the skin.

Vitamin C also plays a role in the creation/building of cartilage and helps maintain strong bones.

Yes indeed, men also suffer from declining collagen production.

To be sure. Athletes can definitely benefit from this. It promotes muscle building, recovery and maintenance, so ideal for athletes.
