Marine Collagen Peptides Powder
What it is
This is a dietary supplement made from hydrolyzed collagen derived from fish. Hydrolyzing breaks down the collagen into smaller peptides, which are thought to be more easily absorbed. It is typically a fine, odorless, and tasteless powder, making it easy to incorporate into various foods and beverages. This product is intended for consumption as part of a balanced diet.
