Pure Marine Collagen capsules

Marine Collagen Capsules are the pure version: hydrolysed type I marine collagen peptides with no added co-factors. The Marine Collagen Beauty Blend Capsules are enriched with hyaluronic acid, natural vitamin C (from camu camu) and acai to maximise beauty benefits. The pure version is ideal for those who want precise control over their collagen intake, wish to pair it with their own supplements, or are using collagen for joint and bone objectives alongside skin.

Kiki Health hydrolysed marine collagen peptides have a molecular weight below 2,000 Daltons, the optimal size to cross the intestinal barrier. Isotopically labelled absorption studies show that over 90% of low-molecular-weight hydrolysed collagen peptides are absorbed within 12 hours of ingestion and detected in the dermis and connective tissues. This is among the highest absorption rates of any protein supplement.

Clinical studies show that hydrolysed collagen peptides stimulate chondrocytes (cartilage cells) to produce more collagen in the joint. A study published in Current Medical Research and Opinion (2008) demonstrated that 10g of hydrolysed collagen peptides daily for 24 weeks significantly reduced joint pain in athletes vs placebo. Type I marine collagen also supports the tendons and ligaments surrounding the joints.

Each Kiki Health capsule contains 450mg of hydrolysed marine collagen. The recommended daily serving is 4 capsules, providing 1,800mg. Clinical studies use doses ranging from 2.5g to 10g depending on the objective. For skin radiance and hydration, 2.5g (around 6 capsules) may be sufficient. For joints or from age 40 onwards, 5 to 10g per day (11 to 22 capsules) are the doses used in studies. From age 25, 1,800 to 5,000mg per day is a good starting point. From age 40, increase to 5,000 to 10,000mg for anti-ageing or joint support. Always pair with vitamin C to optimise endogenous collagen synthesis.

Morning on an empty stomach is ideal: digestion is less active and peptide absorption is optimal. You can also take them 30 minutes before exercise to support collagen synthesis in tendons during effort (protocol studied by Shaw et al., 2017 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition: 15g of collagen plus vitamin C before exercise improved tendon collagen synthesis). Always pair with vitamin C if the formula does not already contain it.

No. Marine collagen is extracted from the scales, skins and bones of wild-caught fish (cod, Alaska pollock, saithe, haddock, plaice) and may contain residual protein allergens. People with fish allergies must avoid this product. Alternative: Kiki Health Bovine Collagen (no fish allergens), also available on superkure.fr.

Main contraindications: fish allergy, vegan diet (animal-derived product). In cases of chronic kidney disease, high-dose protein supplements require medical advice. Pregnancy: pure marine collagen is generally considered safe at food-grade doses, but consult your doctor if in doubt.
