Fish collagen: what it is and how to use the powder
Hydrolysed fish collagen provides peptides in convenient powder or capsule formats. Hi! Collagen combines Naticol fish collagen with vitamin C in a daily drink. Explore its source, composition and preparation to see how it fits your routine.
What is fish collagen made from?
Fish skins are one source of collagen ingredients. For Hi! Collagen, the supplied NATICOL® BPMG raw-material specification identifies fish skins. The finished product label describes hydrolysed fish collagen: protein broken down into shorter peptide chains. This source is compatible with some pescatarian diets, but it is neither vegetarian nor vegan.
What properties are relevant when choosing it?
Hydrolysed collagen is a powder ingredient containing peptides and amino acids. Source, processing and composition influence its taste and how it mixes. An unflavoured powder has no added flavouring, so you can choose water, juice or milk to suit your preference.
Collagen and vitamin C in your daily routine
Collagen research examines specific preparations, populations and outcomes. For your daily routine, Hi! Collagen brings together 5000 mg Naticol fish collagen and 80 mg vitamin C per portion. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin. Our overview introduces collagen peptides and the research behind different preparations.
