Do you eat collagen from fish or from cattle?
Protein comes in many types and from different sources but only one type of protein is uniquely suited to benefit your hair, your nails and most of all your skin... it is the protein collagen.

Collagen contributes to beautiful and healthy skin, with fewer wrinkles and increased elasticity, shiny, thick and healthy hair, as well as strong and beautiful nails!
Cattle (cow), swine (pig), chicken, shellfish, and fish are the most common sources of collagen. Of all the different types of collagen, fish collagen and bovine collagen are the best source of type 1 collagen and also rank highest due to its superior bioavailability. Did you know that approximately 75% of the skin actually consists of collagen !
Bioavailability is the measurement of usability and effectiveness in the body.
What type of collagen is best for skin, hair and nails?
In addition to fish collagen being an excellent source of type I collagen, fish collagen also has a concentration of glycine, hydroxyproline and proline. These specific amino acids are important because they circulate in the bloodstream and stimulate collagen synthesis throughout the body. With an abundance of type 1 collagen in the body, the skin remains beautifully "full" and elastic, and the hair becomes both beautifully thick and strong. In fact, the skin is made up mostly of type 1 collagen!
What part of the fish is used to make collagen supplements?

The production of collagen from these parts of the fish is also environmentally friendly, as it reduces environmental waste.
