Fish Collagen Powder

In addition to healthy fats, fish also contains high-quality proteins. Proteins are essential building blocks of the body and play an important role in the maintenance and renewal of tissues. As we get older or start exercising more intensively, the need for proteins often increases.

One of the proteins found in fish is collagen. It consists of around twenty different amino acids, including glycine, proline and hydroxyproline.

Many people choose to add a collagen supplement to their daily routine. For example with a view to the external care of skin, hair and nails, or as an addition to their protein intake.

Arctic Blue uses collagen from the skin of wild Norwegian cod. The amino acid composition of fish collagen corresponds to that of type I collagen, the type of collagen that is common in animal tissues.

The collagen carries the MSC label, the strictest certification for wild fish. The product does not come from farmed fish or cattle.

A study conducted with Arctic Blue's fish collagen has produced clear results. In this scientific study(read the summary here) by a German laboratory, skin hydration was measured in 20 test subjects after 8 weeks of taking 10 grams of collagen per day. This showed a measurable improvement of 11% in the forearm. In the face, however, skin hydration turned out to have increased by no less than 35% through the action of the collagen.

That depends very much on what works for you. We at team Arctic Blue enjoy stirring a scoop into our morning quark with oats, for example. You can also simply dissolve it in water, stir it into your smoothie or add it to a warm cup of tea or coffee.

This natural version has no added substances and therefore contains only fish collagen peptides.

The optimal dosage is between 5 and 10 grams per day. That is 1 to 2 measuring scoops. When you use collagen for the first time, 10 grams per day is recommended for the first month. After that, a daily maintenance dose of 5 grams is sufficient. That is why we put this on the packaging.

One measuring scoop of 5 grams contains 5 grams of collagen hydrolysate (≥95% protein).

Yes, this product contains fish.

You can simply store this product at room temperature.

From the skin of wild Norwegian cod (not from cattle/tilapia). We have a special certification for this, which shows that it comes from wild fish.

Please note: plant-based “collagen” does not exist; collagen is always animal-based. 

A jar of 150 g contains 30 measuring scoops of 5 g (measuring scoop included).

The protein content (and therefore amino acid content) is at least 95%.

It is a guarantee that the collagen comes from wild fish and not from farmed fish from Asia. The MSC label is the strictest certification for products made from wild fish. Checks are carried out to verify that it really is wild fish, that fish stocks remain at a healthy level and that the fishery does not harm the environment and ecosystem.

Collagen hydrolysate means that the fish collagen has been cut into smaller pieces of protein (hydrolysed), the so-called peptides. Every collagen supplement (powder or capsules) is a hydrolysate. In our body, the peptides are cut further into individual amino acids that are absorbed into the blood.

Our collagen contains type 1 collagen. This is the main type of collagen.

 Yes, in everyone collagen production decreases with age.

Athletes can certainly benefit from this. Collagen is 100% protein. Proteins promote muscle building, recovery and maintenance.

All our supplements keep for at least 12 months from the date of purchase.
