Marine Collagen*
Collagen, the main structural component in your body, including in skin, nails, and hair. Marine collagen is made up of small protein fragments that the human body can easily absorb so that hair regrowth is healthy and strong.
Biotin
A water-soluble B-complex vitamin, Biotin is a vital nutrient in hair supplements and contributes to maintaining healthy hair. Additionally, Biotin is essential for metabolising fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, and it aids in converting food into energy for the body. A deficiency in biotin can result in brittle, weak hair.
Zinc
An essential trace element, Zinc plays a significant role in promoting health and well-being. It also serves a protective function, shielding cells, including hair cells, from oxidative stress – a condition linked to cell degradation, ageing, and decay.

Good to know
Our marine collagen is an environmentally sustainable source of collagen because it's harvested from the waste products that arise from fish processing. It's important to use marine collagen that's sourced from fish skin and not fish scales. Collagen from fish skin is extracted without the use of heat or chemicals.On the other hand, collagen extraction from fish scales requires the use of hydrochloric acid and the processing of fish scales needs heat, which can harm the collagen peptides.
