Fish collagen powder

In addition to healthy fats, fish also contains high-quality proteins. Proteins are essential building blocks for the body and play an important role in maintaining and renewing tissues. As we get older or become more physically active, our need for protein often increases.

One of the proteins found in fish is collagen. It consists of about twenty different amino acids, including glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline.

Many people choose to add collagen supplements to their daily routine. For example, for the purpose of external care of skin, hair, and nails, or as a supplement to their protein intake.

Arctic Blue collagen from the skin of wild Norwegian cod. The amino acid composition of Fish collagen to that of type I collagen, the type of collagen commonly found in animal tissues.

The collagen carries the MSC certification, which is the strictest certification for wild fish. The product does not come from farmed fish or cattle.

Clear results have emerged from a study conducted with Arctic Blue Fish collagen. In this scientific study (read the summary here) by a German laboratory, the skin hydration of 20 test subjects was measured after 8 weeks of taking 10 grams of collagen per day. This showed a measurable improvement of 11% in the forearm. However, the collagen had increased skin hydration in the face by no less than 35%.

That really depends on what works for you. For example, we at Team Arctic Blue to stir a scoop into our morning oatmeal. You can also simply dissolve it in water, stir it into your smoothie, or add it to a hot cup of tea or coffee.

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

The optimal dosage is between 5 and 10 grams per day. That is 1 to 2 measuring spoons. When using collagen for the first time, 10 grams per day is recommended for the first month. After that, a daily maintenance dose of 5 grams is sufficient. That is why we put this on the packaging.

One 5-gram scoop contains 5 grams of collagen hydrolysate (≥95% protein).

Yes, this product contains fish.

You can simply store this product at room temperature.

From the skin of wild Norwegian cod (not from cattle/tilapia). We have a special quality mark for this that proves it comes from wild fish.

Please note: plant-based "collagen" does not exist; collagen is always animal-based. 

A 150 g jar contains 30 measuring spoons of 5 g (measuring spoon included).

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

It is a guarantee that the collagen comes from wild fish and not farmed fish from Asia. The MSC label is the strictest certification mark for products made from wild fish. This means that checks are carried out to ensure that the fish is indeed wild, that fish stocks remain at the right level, and that fishing does not damage the environment or ecosystem.

Collagen hydrolysate means that Fish collagen has been broken down (hydrolyzed) Fish collagen smaller pieces of protein, known as peptides. Every collagen supplement (powder or capsules) is a hydrolysate. In our bodies, we break down the peptides further into individual amino acids that are absorbed into the bloodstream.

Our collagen contains type 1 collagen. This is the main type of collagen.

 Yes, collagen production decreases with age in everyone.

Athletes can certainly benefit from this. Collagen is 100% protein. Proteins promote muscle building, repair, and maintenance.
