Marine Collagen Super Powder

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body. It makes up about 80% of your skin and forms connective tissue that supports muscles, tendons and cartilage. Its also key for skin strength, elasticity and tissue repair.

Collagen decreases as we age, meaning our hair and nails become weaker, our skin becomes thinner and drier, and also starts to sag and wrinkle. Adding a marine collagen peptides supplement to your diet can support collagen production and give you that Jeuneora glow that everyone raves about!

When it comes to beauty benefits, marine collagen is the clear winner. Not only is it the same type of collagen that is most abundantly found in our skin (type I), it's also up to 1.5 times more easily absorbed by the body. The marine collagen in our products has been scientifically researched to be effective in doses as low as 2500mg due to its optimum molecular size and high bioavailability. This means it’s more easily absorbed by your body, so you need less of it to get the job done!

After the age of 20, we begin to produce 1% less collagen in the dermis (a layer in our skin) each year. By the time we hit 40, our collagen and elastin fibres break, thicken, clump together and lose their elasticity, leaving us with wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin. That’s why things like hydration, sun protection, using quality skincare, and supplementing with marine collagen are so important. Studies have found that marine collagen has a host of benefits for the body. Marine collagen supports skin hydration, collagen production, gut health and also helps decrease the breakdown of existing collagen in the body. Research is still continuing to work out exactly how this magic happens, but the current theory is that the collagen you consume “tells” your body to create more collagen.

The marine collagen in our products goes through a process called hydrolysis, which is super important to look out for when choosing a collagen supplement! During hydrolysis, large collagen molecules are broken down (via a reaction with water) into smaller molecules that are commonly referred to as peptides. Peptides have a lower molecule size, so they are more easily absorbed by our bodies - and therefor much more efficient than collagen that isn't hydrolysed.

Renew+ Marine Collagen Super Powder is our highest dose product with 6000mg of marine collagen per serve. You only need to take one or two servings per day. While we could add more per serve or encourage you to take multiple doses a day, your body can actually only process so much collagen in a day. So, adding more collagen doesn’t necessarily translate to better or faster results – it could just mean that you could be flushing your collagen down the toilet. Literally!
