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.
