What is so special about Marine Collagen? How is it different to Pure Collagen?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, and it’s growing in use as a health supplement because our bodies produce less of our own collagen each year that passes.
Since most of us no longer get sufficient collagen through our diet supplementing with a premium source of collagen peptides is necessary for keeping our bodies healthy and strong.
Marine Collagen peptides derived entirely from sustainable wild-caught cod fish from the pristine waters of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Norway offer evidence-based health benefits.
The results showed:
- Skin hydration increased from 34% up to 83% at its highest
- Skin elasticity increased
- Skin firmness improved
Marine Collagen is exceptionally bioavailable. It has the smallest molecular weight amongst all types of collagens which enables it to be absorbed up to 1.5 times more efficiently into the bloodstream to rapidly enhance recovery, repair tissue and provide nutrients to the body.
High-quality marine collagen is generally less than 2000 Daltons in molecular weight and is absorbed roughly 150% more effectively than other forms of collagen, making it the best source of collagen peptides for human consumption.
Marine Collagen improves your skin health! One of the main benefits is increasing the elasticity, firmness, and hydration in the skin.
Good for Gut health! Yes Please!
Marine Collagen Protects and supports your gut health as it is a rich source of alanine, glycine and hydroxyproline which carry out vital roles within the body. These essential amino acids are crucial for the proper formation of elastin, a major protein in the composition of intestinal wall issues making it beneficial for gut health.
Marine Collagen is derived from Fish
Bovine Collagen is derived from Cow Hides
Porcine Collagen is derived from Pig skin
What are the key ingredients used in Sea Amour Wellness’ 100% Pure Marine Collagen?
The key ingredient is Wild Codfish from the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Norway.
It is sustainably sourced (only mature cod fish are caught)
Each catch is traceable back to the fishing vessel. We are so proud of how fresh and clean our Marine collagen is.
It is extremely important to understand what is on the back of the packet…what percentage of collagen is in your jar…fillers/flavours, and where is the fish sourced from? most notably a lot are from inferior fish from farms overseas. And some only have 3grams per serve along with fillers and flavours making it harder for the body to absorb and do it job effectively. Each serve of Sea Amour Marine Collagen is 5 grams…. of pure collagen. Simply mix with your favourite beverage. Our Marine collagen is lightly hydrolyzed (an enzyme added) so our bodies can absorb it into the bloodstream) And that’s it!
Who are your products suitable for?
Our product is suitable for males and females from age 20 onwards. Not suitable if there is a seafood allergy or if you are pregnant. Always consult with a qualified health care professional before consuming any supplement.
What does wellness mean to you?
It is having an informed choice and understanding of what I am consuming each day that is making a difference in my overall well-being. Getting the most nutrients out of each food to fuel my body. which in turn gives me the energy to keep up with my 7-year-old daughter.
What is next for Sea Amour Wellness?
