Fish Collagen
Fish collagen is collagen protein taken from fish skin and scales and broken down into peptides so it can be absorbed. It is taken as a supplement for skin, hair, nails and joints, and marine collagen is absorbed well.
What Fish Collagen Is Taken For
- Skin hydration and elasticity support
- Hair and nail strength
- Joint comfort
- General protein and amino acid support
Common Side Effects
- Fishy aftertaste or burps
- Bloating or fullness
- Nausea
- Allergic reaction in people with fish allergy
Precautions
Anyone with a fish or shellfish allergy should avoid it. Studies suggest modest benefits for skin hydration and joint comfort, and results take weeks to months, so expectations should be realistic. It is a supplement rather than a treatment, and skin ageing is influenced far more by sun protection and not smoking than by any capsule.
