Pure Fish Collagen with C & ZincVitakruid

Vitakruid Pure Fish Collagen with C & Zinc

In our bodies, collagen is an essential form of protein, making up about 30% of our total protein mass. In the animal kingdom, collagen is the most prevalent protein, ranking number one. You can find this protein in various types of tissues, such as your skin, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and cartilage. Until the age of 25, we produce collagen ourselves, but after that, its production gradually decreases. This decrease leads to a reduction in skin elasticity and the appearance of the first wrinkles and fine lines. Fish collagen is the perfect supporter in this regard!

Fish collagen's powerful combination with vitamin C and zinc
In our bodies, substances never work alone. We combine collagen with vitamin C because this duo works optimally together. We have also added the valuable mineral zinc to our fish collagen.

Fish collagen is superior in Collagen Type I 
Collagen is always sourced from animal origins. The most popular sources are fish and cattle, with the former being the base for this collagen supplement. Fish collagen is one of the purest forms of collagen and is hydrolysed using enzymes from the skin and bones of fish. These by-products are often discarded, but in this way, they are used sustainably.

99% pure collagen
There are different types of collagen. Our bodies consist of about 90% type I collagen. Our fish collagen primarily consists of type I collagen, meaning it largely corresponds to the collagen in our bodies. As there are no unnecessary additions in our fish collagen powder, it consists of an impressive 99% pure collagen.

Sourced from sustainable Norwegian wild-caught cod
For all our supplements, we consider sustainability an important part of development. Our fish collagen supplement is therefore derived from sustainably wild-caught Norwegian fish.

Friend of the Sea (MSC certified)
We endorse this sustainability with the Friend of the Sea certificate. This international independent organisation aims to promote the environment. The Friend of the Sea certification process is one of the few certificates for sustainable fishing that we recognise worldwide. Moreover, the requirements for obtaining an FOS label are slightly stricter than the conditions set for the well-known MSC label.

Fish collagen with a good amino acid profile
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. There are 22 amino acids, each with its own specific function. Collagen contains 18 different types of amino acids. Proline, glutamine, and glycine have the largest share (approximately 45.6 percent).

Key components of collagen are abundantly present
Our fish collagen is a source of pure protein and represents a good amino acid profile (see image 3). Thus, the key components of collagen, glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, are abundantly present. Our collagen peptides also consist of a high amount of glutamine. Additionally, our product contains 8 of the 9 essential amino acids.

Virtually no fishy taste or burps 
With fish collagen, one might think the product has a noticeable fishy taste. After many weeks of testing, we have developed a fish collagen that has virtually no fishy aftertaste. Additionally, the scent is neutral, and you do not run the risk of fishy burps.

Highly soluble, no lumps, and a neutral taste
Our fish collagen comes in a fine powder form, making it easy to consume. Due to its fine structure, it dissolves quickly in your drink (hot or cold). Thus, there are no lumps. The collagen remains intact up to temperatures of about 80 degrees. When the temperature exceeds this, its efficacy may decrease. And with a handy measuring scoop (included in the pot), you have the right daily dosage in one go.
