Simply Collagen Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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, the most abundant collagen in the human body, found in skin, hair, nails, joints, and connective tissue. It contains small peptides that are readily digestible.
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 important for maintaining skin structure, 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 help maintain resilient skin and connective tissue.
Together, these collagen types support the skin’s natural structure and overall appearance.
Why Choose Marine Collagen Over Other Types?
