Simply Collagen Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Where is Simply Collagen based?
Simply Collagen is proudly based in Tauranga, New Zealand, shipping premium marine collagen products globally. Our marine collagen is sourced from France, adhering to stringent European Union quality and safety standards. All products are carefully packaged in New Zealand to ensure freshness and quality.
What is Marine Collagen?
Marine collagen is a natural protein extracted from the skin and scales of fish, mainly from deep-sea species like cod, haddock, and pollock. It is rich in Type 1 collagen, which is the most abundant collagen in the human body and crucial for skin, hair, nails, joints, and connective tissue health. Due to its small peptide size, marine collagen offers superior bioavailability, meaning it’s easily absorbed and used by the body.
What Types of Collagen Are in Simply Collagen?
Simply Collagen primarily contains Type 1 and Type 3 collagen peptides:
-
Type 1 collagen makes up about 90% of the body’s collagen and is vital for skin strength, elasticity, and hydration. It also supports healthy bones, tendons, and ligaments.
-
Type 3 collagen is abundant in skin, muscles, and blood vessels, providing structure and firmness. It works alongside Type 1 collagen to maintain youthful, resilient skin and healthy connective tissue.
Together, these collagen types promote healthy aging by supporting the skin’s natural structure, reducing wrinkles, and improving overall skin texture.
Why Choose Marine Collagen Over Other Types?
Marine collagen stands out for its:
-
Superior absorption compared to bovine or porcine collagen due to smaller peptides.
-
Sustainability, as it is sourced from fish byproducts, reducing waste.
-
Richness in Type 1 collagen, the most beneficial for skin and beauty.
How Does Hydrolysed Collagen Work?
Hydrolysed collagen is collagen broken down into smaller peptides for easier absorption in the gut. This form ensures your body can efficiently use collagen peptides to stimulate natural collagen production, aiding skin regeneration, joint repair, and overall vitality.
How Long Does It Take to See Results from Simply Collagen?
Results vary by individual, but many customers notice:
Consistent use is key to maximizing benefits.
Can I Use Simply Collagen with Other Supplements?
Yes! Simply Collagen can safely be combined with vitamins, minerals, and other supplements. For example, vitamin C enhances collagen synthesis, so taking vitamin C-rich foods or supplements alongside collagen may boost results.
Is Simply Collagen Suitable for Vegetarians or Vegans?
No. Simply Collagen is derived from fish and is therefore not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
Is Simply Collagen Safe for Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women?
While marine collagen is a natural protein, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Does Simply Collagen Contain Allergens?
Simply Collagen is free from common allergens such as gluten, dairy, soy, and nuts. However, it is a fish-derived product and not suitable for those with fish allergies.
How Should I Store Simply Collagen?
Store your collagen powder in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. After opening, transfer the powder to a sealed, preferably glass, container to maintain freshness and potency.
Can Children or Teens Use Simply Collagen?
Our products are designed for adults. If considering for younger individuals, please consult a healthcare professional first.
Can Simply Collagen Help With Joint Pain?
Yes, marine collagen supports cartilage repair and joint health, which may reduce discomfort and improve mobility in people experiencing joint stiffness or mild pain.
What Is the Best Way to Take Simply Collagen?
Mix Simply Collagen powder into hot drinks like tea or coffee, smoothies, soups, or baking recipes. It dissolves best in warm liquids but can be added to cold drinks by first mixing with a small amount of warm water.
Does Heating Collagen Affect Its Effectiveness?
No. Simply Collagen is heat stable and retains its beneficial properties when added to hot beverages or used in cooking and baking.
What Is the Recommended Daily Dosage?
We recommend 1 teaspoon (4 grams) daily for maintenance and beauty support. Dosage can be adjusted based on individual health goals and advice from a healthcare professional.
Is There a Subscription Service?
Yes! Our Subscribe and Save program offers regular deliveries at discounted rates to ensure you never run out of your collagen supplement.
