Australian Marine Collagen - Wild-caught marine collagen powder

Why Collagen?

Our natural ability to produce connective tissue diminished after the age of 25. It’s one of the reasons why we start to look older and experience more wrinkles, thinner skin and brittle nails.

Thankfully Nourished Marine Collagen is a pure source of hydrolysed fish collagen, processed via enzymatic fermentation into peptides (instead of using chemicals). The resulting collagen is pure and highly bioavailable, making it easy for your body to use. With barely any taste or odour, it's easy to sneak this into your food and drink and give your body an extra boost!

This is a premium grade collagen, derived from wild-caught, sustainably sourced Australian Snapper and guaranteed free from heavy metals and other toxins.  

Rich in Type I collagen, this is the best choice if you are looking to support the health of skin, hair and nails. Perfect for post-surgery and for improving elasticity and strength in aging skin. With barely any taste or odour it's easy to sneak this into your food and drink and give your body an extra boost!

What is the difference between Bovine Collagen and Marine Collagen?

Bovine collagen is obtained from beef cattle hides and is rich in Type I and Type III collagen (good for both skin, joints and bones). Marine Collagen is obtained from fish skin and is exclusively Type I (good for skin, hair and nails). Both dissolve easily in hot and cold liquid with very little taste.

Does your collagen and gelatin contain sulphur dioxide residue?

Sulphur dioxide is a volatile gas (the smell of volcanos, burning matches & fireworks) and is not measured as a residue in gelatin. In the process of making gelatin, sulphites are produced. Our certificate of analysis confirms there is only 18mg/kg. However when substances containing sulphites are both in an aqueous environment and acidic environment (eg. orange juice) then some of the sulphites will be converted to sulphur dioxide and water.

Some companies may add sulphites as a preservative, but in Thankfully Nourished gelatin and collagen there are no sulphites added.

Some companies (Wine manufactures especially) add sulphur dioxide to the final packaging before sealing to act as a biocide to prevent spoilage, Thankfully Nourished does not use this process in packaging.

Collagen vs Gelatin

The main difference between collagen and gelatin is their molecular weight and the way in which they are consumed.

Collagen is lower in weight and size than gelatin and can easily be mixed into both hot and cold liquid (so you can add collagen to herbal teas etc. and it will dissolve beautifully).

Gelatin is derived from collagen and has the ability to congeal liquids, making it perfect for making homemade jelly (but don't add this one to your cup of tea or as it cools you will get thick gelatinous tea!)
