Freshwater Collagen & Gelatin Right from the Source

Marine: The Next Generation Collagen

Marine-derived collagen delivers a wide range of benefits over porcine, bovine, and other sources.

With its low molecular weight, collagen peptide derived from fish offers superior absorption and bioavailability compared with porcine and bovine collagen. Plus, the risk of illness is minimized with marine collagen – not the case with other animal sources, which have been associated with disease transfer to humans.

Compatibility: More of the right building blocks delivered to cells

It’s a fact that Marine collagen has superior absorption and bioavailability compared to bovine- or porcine-sourced collagen. But, how much of the fish-based collagen peptide that reaches cells is actually useful? That, of course, depends on what amino acids are present in the collagen. And, that depends on the source of the collagen. Our tropical freshwater collagen offers a unique advantage in this aspect over all other marine sources.

At the molecular level, the collagen structure contained in an animal’s skin is heavily influenced by the temperature in which it lives. An animal that lives at room temperature will develop collagen similar to that of other species living at the same temperature, including humans. The more similar marine collagen is to human collagen, the better.

Purity: Exceptional purity with no heavy metals

Collagen peptides and gelatin sourced from freshwater, tropical fish offer unmatched purity. Studies have shown that marine collagen taken from ocean-going fish can be contaminated with heavy metals and other contaminants. Our freshwater, farm-raised fish minimize this risk. And, because Vinh Wellness collagen is single-source, you get a level of product uniformity—batch-to-batch and year-to-year— that would otherwise be impossible to match.

Efficacy: Unique beneficial amino acid chains

Vinh Wellness collagen peptides and gelatin contain a unique amino acid profile. Our single-source pangasius hypophthalmus contain more hydroxyproline and proline than any other marine collagen source. It also contains more isoleucine, leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, and valine. In addition to providing specific health benefits, our single-source processing means Vinh Wellness can deliver this unique amino acid profile consistently, batch-to-batch and year-to-year.
