Scientific Overview: Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and is essential for maintaining the structure, elasticity, and strength of skin, bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Fish collagen, specifically type I collagen, shares structural similarities with human collagen, making it highly compatible with the body.
Cultivation and Harvest: Fish collagen is sourced from various species of fish, including cod, tilapia, salmon, and others. The fish are typically caught from the wild or raised in aquaculture farms specifically for collagen extraction. Once harvested, the fish are processed to extract the collagen from their skin or scales.
Extraction Process: Fish collagen is extracted through a process of hydrolysis, where fish skin or scales are treated with enzymes or acids to break down the collagen into smaller peptides. These peptides are then filtered and purified to obtain a highly bioavailable collagen powder.
