Why Ecovibener®Marine Collagen Peptide:

▶ Marine fish collagen, Type I beats other collagens in both bioavailability and absorption thanks to it having the smallest particle size and lowest molecular weight out of all other collagen types. Being incredibly beneficial to the health of your skin (your body’s largest organ) and bones, the glycine- and proline-rich collagen found in fish will impress you as you read more about it.

 

▶ Fish collagen is made up of mostly Type I collagen. Consisting of mostly one type of collagen doesn’t mean it is inferior to bovine collagen, which has both Type I and Type III. Type I collagen is found just about everywhere in the body except for cartilaginous tissue. It is the type of collagen that makes up 70% of our skin and is itself the most abundant collagen in the body, so you can already see how fish collagen can become your skin’s best friend. Type I collagen can do a number of positive things for your skin, from reversing the aging process and decreasing the prominence of wrinkles and cellulite, to enhancing your skin hydration and firmness.

 

▶ Marine collagen is rich in two particular amino acids: glycine and proline. Glycine is foundational to DNA and RNA strand creation, while proline is foundational to the human body’s ability to naturally produce its own collagen. Considering glycine is vital to our DNA and RNA, it holds many significant functions for the body, including blocking endotoxin and transporting nutrients for body cells to utilize for energy. While proline can act as an antioxidant for the body and can prevent cell damage from free radicals, its number one function is to ensure collagen synthesis by helping in the stimulation of the process within the body.

 

▶ Marine collagen and fish collagen tend to be used interchangeably, however, note that marine collagen does not always necessarily come from saltwater fish. Some marine collagens may be taken from shellfish and jellyfish instead.

 

Additionally, it is important to consider whether the fish is wild-caught or farm-raised. Farm-raised fish are often fed antibiotics and treated with pesticides. Richtek Ecovibener®Marine Collagen Peptide is sustainably sourced from wild-caught tilapia fish has a lot more benefits, including a lower mercury content and higher concentrations of nutrients such as Omega 3.

 

▶ Fish collagen’s bioavailability is the highest among the other types of collagen. This means fish collagen can get absorbed the fastest into your body. Collagen from fish has the smallest particle size, meaning it breaks down much faster and absorbs into the body than other collagens. The fish collagen is able to enter your bloodstream at a higher rate, especially if that collagen is hydrolyzed.
