Vitakruid Pure fish collagen with C & zinc
Vitakruid Pure fish collagen with C & zinc

In our body, collagen is an important protein form, it comprises approximately 30% of our total protein mass. In the animal kingdom, collagen is the number 1 most abundant protein. You can find the protein in all kinds of tissues, such as your skin, muscles, tendons, blood vessels and cartilage. We produce collagen ourselves until the age of 25, after which this production gradually decreases. A consequence of this is the decrease in elasticity in the skin and the appearance of the first wrinkles and fine lines. Fish collagen is the ideal support for this!

Fish collagen powerful combination with vitamin C and zinc
In our body, substances never work alone. For example, 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 obtained from animal sources. Of these, the most popular sources are fish and beef, the former of which is the basis for this collagen supplement. Fish collagen is one of the purest forms of collagen and we hydrolyze it using enzymes from the skin and bones of fish. In many cases we throw away these residual products, but in this way they are used in a sustainable way.

99% pure collagen
There are different types of collagen. Our body consists of approximately 90% type I collagen. Our fish collagen consists mainly of type I collagen, which means that it largely corresponds to collagen from our body. Because there are no unnecessary additives in our fish collagen powder, it consists of no less than 99% pure collagen.

Sourced from sustainable Norwegian wild-caught cod
We consider sustainability to be an important part of the development of all our supplements. Our fish collagen supplement is therefore extracted 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 organization's mission is to promote the environment. The Friend of the Sea certification process is one of the few sustainable fishing certificates we recognize worldwide. Moreover, the requirements for obtaining a FOS quality mark are slightly stricter than the conditions imposed for the well-known MSC quality mark.

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

The most important 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). The most important components of collagen, glycine, proline and hyproxyproline, are abundantly present. Our collagen peptides also consist of a high amount of glutamine. In addition, our product contains 8 of the 9 essential amino acids.

Virtually no fishy taste or burping
With fish collagen, the idea may arise that the product has a fishy taste. After many weeks of testing, we have arrived at a fish collagen that has virtually no fishy aftertaste. In addition, the odor is neutral and you run no risk of fishy reflux.

Well soluble, no lumps and a neutral taste
Our fish collagen has a fine powder form, making it easy to take. Due to its fine structure, it quickly dissolves in your drink (hot or cold). So there are no lumps. The collagen also remains intact up to temperatures of about 80 degrees. When the temperature rises above, efficacy may decrease. And with a handy measuring spoon (enclosed in the jar), you have the right daily dose in one go.
