why marine collagen

Marine collagen helps to support strong and healthy hair, skin, nails, joints and bones. In addition, this powerful superfood is the most sustainable, eco-friendly source of collagen, as it was formerly discarded by the fishing industry as a by-product and is now recognized for it’s value in the food chain with no additional fishing required.

Ethically sourced with pristine ingredients

Sourced from pristine North Atlantic and Arctic waters, our collagen is FSSC 22000 Certified and ethically harvested from the formerly discarded skin of sustainably caught cod. After it’s tested to meet the most stringent standards for heavy metals, the collagen protein is removed and then broken down into smaller units of protein (collagen peptides) through a process called hydrolysis (hydrolyzed collagen).

Our body breaks the collagen down into individual amino acids, which are then absorbed and utilized by the body. Collagen derived from fish has been found to be easily absorbed and provides type 1 collagen. Consuming more fish collagen has been associated with benefits for skin, nails, hair, digestion, joints, ligaments and bones.

The benefits of collagen

physical health and beauty begin on the inside

  • Skin Health and Elasticity
    Rejuvenate, hydrate and restore your skin
    Collagen helps support the skin by restoring the skin’s moisture, improving the elasticity, tone, and vibrancy. Collagen with the addition of Hyaluronic Acid, helps to slow signs of aging by keeping the skin hydrated, which helps prevent wrinkles.
  • Hair and Nail Health
    Promote nail & hair growth and strength
    The benefits of collagen for nails include hydrating the nailbed and cuticles and improving brittle nails by replenishing amino acids that helps nails grow longer, quicker, and stronger. Collagen has also been shown to increase the body’s hair building proteins, which can result in longer, thicker hair.
  • Bone and Joint Health
    Help maintain the cartilage that protects joints
    Our bones are made primarily of collagen and our body’s natural collagen helps to protect joints, so when collagen production decreases, bones weaken, and the likelihood of developing joint issues and fractures increases. Adding collagen to your daily routine provides your body with the boost it needs to help protect your joints.
  • Digestion and Gut Health
    Support digestion and a healthy gut
    Collagen contains the amino acids glycine, glutamine, and proline, which can be incredibly beneficial to the stomach and maintaining a strong digestive tract. These amino acids help rebuild tissue in the protective lining of the digestive tract which is extremely important for the prevention of a condition known as “leaky gut.”
  • Increased Energy
    Help in improving energy and metabolism
    Collagen is a great source of the amino acids we need to maintain healthy hormone levels. It contains Glycine, a powerful inhibitory neurotransmitter, which stimulates the production of serotonin, the “feel-good” hormone shown to reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality—helping to boost metabolism and energy levels.

The 3 Major Amino Acids in Collagen

Marine collagen contains high amounts of three precious amino acids that you won’t find in meaningful amounts in many other foods: glycine, hydroxyproline and proline. These three amino acids are the keys to collagen’s anti-aging and flexibility-boosting benefits.

just björn hydrolyzed collagen is an excellent source of high-quality protein (over 90%) with no fat or carbohydrates, with the additional benefits of Hyaluronic Acid, Amino Acids, Vitamins & Minerals for optimal support of your daily routine.
