12g MARINE COLLAGEN per serving
Applied Nutrition Marine Collagen is a Type I hydrolysed collagen powder sourced from wild-caught marine fish for skin, connective tissue and joint health. Each 12g serving delivers 12g of marine collagen providing 11g of protein at 43kcal with 0g fat and 0g carbohydrate. The 300g tub provides 25 servings.
Marine collagen is predominantly Type I, the primary structural protein in human skin and the main collagen component of tendons, ligaments and bone. Hydrolysis reduces the molecule to 2,000-5,000 dalton peptides for delivery to fibroblasts and chondrocytes for endogenous collagen synthesis. At 12g per serving the dose exceeds the 5-10g range used in most published skin and joint studies. Marine peptides from fish skin are smaller than bovine peptides, which research associates with higher bioavailability at equivalent doses.
Marine Collagen is the default choice for athletes who want collagen benefits without bovine ingredients, whether for religious, dietary or sustainability reasons. The lighter molecular size produces better water solubility than bovine collagen. The 11g protein per serving at 0g fat and 0g carbohydrate makes it straightforward to add to any diet without calorie accounting beyond the 43kcal.
Marine Collagen suits athletes in heavy training with high connective tissue load, anyone over 35 managing collagen decline and consumers requiring a halal-compatible source. It should sit alongside rather than replace a primary protein supplement. Contains fish. Not suitable for vegans.
Higher-dose option: Applied Nutrition Collagen Peptides 300g provides 20g per serving across 15 servings.
