Marine Collagen

What is Marine Collagen?

Our Marine Collagen is obtained from Pure + Sustainable fish called Tilapia where the collagen is obtained from their skin + scales through a process of hydrolysation using water to break down the collagen molecules into peptides. It is GMO free, high in protein with no fat, sugars, fillers, gluten, lactose or carbohydrates, making it a pure protein-rich food sourced from the ocean, wonderful for paleo or low FODMAP diets.

What does Marine Collagen taste like?

Marine Collagen is tasteless! You can add it to many dishes, even a glass of water and receive the benefits of this beautiful protein.

Is it safe to use during pregnancy/breastfeeding?

We always recommend checking with your health care practitioner, however as with all our products, it is made from natural sources and contains only 100% protein from wild fish.

Can men take Collagen?

Absolutely, collagen is beneficial for anyone looking to maintain skin health as well as improve joint, gastrointestinal, and bone health.

How do I take Marine Collagen?

So many options! It is suitable for both hot and cold liquids. It dissolves easily in water, it will take a few seconds, and then the water will appear completely clear. You can add it to soups and bone broths, into smoothies, mix it with our delicious Immune Support for that extra Vitamin C + Collagen boost, add it to a Matcha latte and even in your breakfast bowl! Each serve (2 tablespoons) will provide 10.9 grams of protein to help fuel and nourish your body.

How often should I take Marine Collagen?

For the best results, we recommend taking one serve (2 tablespoons) of Marine Collagen every day.

How does Marine Collagen differ from other protein powders?

Marine Collagen, uniquely, is high in three amino acids that are naturally lacking in plant and whey based proteins.

As we get older, our bodies become less efficient at producing collagen, which is why introducing ingestible collagen can be so beneficial. Ethically sourced Marine Collagen is derived from wild fish to support your joint, bone, skin and digestive health. Known to have the best absorption compared to other collagen sources, Marine collagen can help boost the body's natural collagen production.

How should I store my Marine Collagen?

We recommend storing your collagen in a cool dry place with the lid shut tight.

How is the Marine Collagen extracted?

Marine Collagen is extracted from the skin, bone and scales of wild fish through natural pepsin, an enzyme that breaks down protein in food. Completely flavourless and odourless, Marine Collagen dissolves clear every time in hot and cold liquids.

Where is Marine Collagen from?

Marine Collagen is sourced from Switzerland and other European countries using Pure + Sustainable fish called Tilapia. 100% of the animal is utilized in the process to promote a sustainable production process. 

When is the best time to take collagen?

There isn't a perfect time to take collagen. Boosting your daily collagen routine depends on your lifestyle; morning, noon or night, or added to your grab-and-go drink of the day, it’s what suits you best. Just remember that while Marine Collagen can be added to hot or cold beverages. Beauty and Gut Collagen should only be added to cold drinks, not to denature the additional vitamins. In the end, the focus should be on adding collagen to your daily wellness regimen. Consistency is key!

Which collagen product do you recommend?

The Healthy Chef has a diverse range of collagen products from our skin-loving Beauty Collagen to our gut-loving Gut Collagen and, finally, our sustainable, pure hydrolysed Marine Collagen soluble in both hot and cold liquids. 

While our collagen products all share the same goal – to help support digestive and gut health, stronger joints + bones, stronger hair, skin and nails – some also contain individual functional ingredients that set them apart from the rest.

When it comes to first-time Healthy Chef Collagen users, we suggest trying our first-ever product: our hydrolysed Marine Collagen. Aside from being a fan-favourite, Marine Collagen is incredibly versatile as it is odourless and flavourless and readily soluble in both hot and cold liquids. Our customers love to add Marine Collagen to their morning coffee, smoothies and nourishing broths.

Bovine Collagen

What is Pure Grass Fed Collagen?

Collagen is our body's most abundant structural protein, and is naturally compromised of a collections of amino acids. It can come from different animal sources, and our Pure Collagen is bovine collagen, meaning it's been ethically derived from the skin of grass fed cows pasture raised in Europe. It has absolutely no other additives or fillers, containing no gluten, dairy, sugar, preservatives or GMO's - it's simply 100% pure hydrolysed collagen peptides! 

What does Pure Collagen Taste like?

Bovine Collagen is completely flavourless and odourless! It's perfect simply mixed into a glass of water or added to your smoothies and juices! It is also heat stable so can be added even to hot liquids like your favourite beverage or soup. 

What are the benefits of taking Bovine Collagen? 

From about the age of 30, the body's production of collagen naturally declines about 1% less every year. For women, this rate rises to about 2% every year after menopause, so supplementing your diet with additional collagen can help to make up for this gradual loss. 

Collagen is great for: 

  • Promoting skin Hydration + Elasticity 
  • Supporting lean, toned muscle
  • Helping to nourish the lining of the gut and digestive tract 
  • Help to keep bones strong + more. 

What Collagen Type is Pure Collagen? 

Bovine Collagen contains both Type 1 and Type 3 collagen. Type 1 Collagen is he most common type of collagen found in connective tissue (building blocks of skin) whilst Type 3 Collagen is the main component of reticular fibres, which are found in organs such as intestines and bowel, as well as blood vessels and skin. 

Is it safe to use during pregnancy/breastfeeding? 

We always recommend checking with your health care practitioner, however as with all our products, it is made from natural sources and contains only 100% ethically sourced collagen from pasture-raised, grass-fed cows. 

How do I take Bovine Collagen?

There are so many ways you can enjoy our Bovine Collagen! It is heat stable so suitable for both hot and cold liquids. It dissolves easily in water, it will take a few seconds and then will be able to be mixed in seamlessly. You can add it to soups and bone broths, into smoothies,mix it with our delicious Immune Support for that extra Vitamin C + Collagen boost, add it to a Matcha latte and even in your breakfast bowl! Each serve (1 tablespoon) will provide 9.2 grams of protein to help fuel and nourish your body.

How often should I take Pure Collagen?

For best results, we recommend taking one serve (1 tablespoon, 10g) of Bovine Collagen every day! 

 How does Pure Collagen differ from other protein powders? 

Protein powders generally only contain 9 essential amino acids (ones that our bodies cannot make), whereas Pure Collagen offers an impressive profile of 18 amino acids. 

Pure Collagen has very high levels of three non-essential amino acids in particular hydroxyproline, proline and glycine - these 3 comprise over half of collagens composition and are present at levels 10-20 times higher than other protein sources. These are naturally lower occuring in plant and whey based proteins. 

Non-essential amino acids can still play an important role in fuelling the body and therefore, collagen is great alongside a protein supplement to increase your amino acid intake. Be sure to read the label and following serving suggestion sizes. 

How should I store my Pure Collagen? 

We recommend storing your collagen in a cool dry place with the lid shut tight. 

How is the Pure Collagen extracted? 

Hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides are obtained by separation of building blocks of collagen through gentle enzymatic hydrolysis until the collagen peptides have reached their molecular weight. 

The small size of the peptide molecules assists with bioavailability and absorption with around 90% of peptides digested and absorbed within several hours after consumptions. 

Where is Pure Collagen from? 

In keeping with our commitment to ethical and sustainable solutions, we're proud of the fact that Pure Collagen is from grass-fed cows in Europe that are raised in accordance with strict regulations, which ensure ethical treatment with less negative impacts on the environment. A natural grass-fed diet also means less exposure to potentially harmful toxins like growth hormones, steroids and antibiotics, also resulting in a cleaner product. 

When is the best time to take collagen?

There isn't a perfect time to take collagen. Boosting your daily collagen routine depends on your lifestyle; morning, noon or night, or added to your grab-and-go drink of the day, it's what suits you best. Just remember that Bovine Collagen can be added to hot or cold beverages. In the end, the focus should be on adding collagen to your daily wellness regimen. Consistency is key. 

Can I take Pure Grass Fed Collagen and Marine Collagen together? 

Yes! You most definitely can use our Bovine Collagen and Marine Collagen together. Marine and Bovine Collagen share high levels of Type 1 collagen, which is known to help combat signs of skin ageing like wrinkles, loss of elasticity and dryness. 

Where they differ is the 2nd type of collagen each offers. Marine Collagen is a good source of Type 2 collagen, which is what gives cartilage its strength and elasticity, making marine collagen great for joint health. Bovine Collagen is rich in Type 3 collagen, which is found in organs like the intestines + bowel, as well as in large blood vessels. It can help to nourish the gut lining and also works together with Type 1 Collagen to improve skin elasticity and keep it hydrated. 

We suggest taking half a dose of each if taking together. Type 1, 2 and 3 collagen are the most prevalent forms of collagen in the human body, therefore you can ensure supplementation cover all 3 types by combining both marine + bovine collagen. 

What is the difference between Pure Collagen and Marine Collagen? 

Bovine Collagen is ethically sourced from the skin of pasture-raised, grass fed cows, whilst Marine Collagen is sustainably sourced and made from the skin and scales. Therefore, it is purely personal preference which source you'd like your collagen goodness from as they both offer incredible benefits.

  • Mix it – As directed into homemade protein balls, power bars, cakes + pancakes.

Are the protein powders suitable for use during pregnancy + breastfeeding?

Yes, made from wholefood natural ingredients it is a safe way to assist pregnant and breastfeeding mothers in meeting their nutritional requirements. We recommend speaking to your or healthcare professional when starting a new health routine.

Is the Maca in Organic Pea Cocoa + Maca suitable during pregnancy + breastfeeding?

Organic Pea in Cocoa + Maca only contains a hint of Maca powder (0.3g/serve), but it is best to seek individual guidance from your health practitioner. Large doses of Maca should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding as it has hormone-modulating properties.

Can children use the protein powders?

Yes – it is suitable for children, particularly fussy eaters or those on restrictive diets. We recommend reducing the serving size to suit your child's requirement, e.g. 1/4 – 1/2 the adult serve. Try blending one frozen banana with 1 1/2 cups of milk, one spoon of tahini for added calcium, and a spoonful of Healthy Chef Protein for a delicious kid-friendly smoothie.

I have a sensitive digestive system; will I tolerate the protein powders?

Yes – they are well tolerated by people with gastrointestinal issues thanks to the following:

  • Made with pure, high-quality ingredients.
  • Free from gluten, soy, fillers, gums, artificial sweeteners, chemicals, preservatives, lactose (Pure Native WPI has negligible amounts) and added sugars.

Regular and adequate intake of protein helps keep you feeling full for longer, helps stabilise blood sugar levels and lowers the GI of meals.

  • Healthy metabolism

Can I use the protein powders as a meal replacement?

Yes, Protein Powders can be used as meal replacement in combination with the right carbohydrates, antioxidants, fibre and prebiotics your body needs to keep you sustained and energised.

Combine a serving of the Protein and our Organic Superfood into a blender with your choice of almond milk or water, then add frozen blueberries or banana and blend.

The second option is just to shake or blend a serving of Protein and Organic Superfood or Everyday Greens with water or almond milk in our blender bottle.

Yes – it is a great source of rapidly absorbed, bioavailable protein to help to promote muscle growth, repair and recovery. The Pure Native WPI is best suited to athletic use as it is naturally rich in branched-chain amino acids, which promotes muscle recovery. The Pure Native WPI is one of the richest sources of glutathione, a potent antioxidant that helps to prevent cellular damage.

How much protein do I need?

Australian guidelines recommend that protein requirements vary with age, gender, activity levels and goals. For most of us, around 1g of protein per kg of body weight is a good start. 

Can’t I just get enough protein from food?

Consuming a wide variety of quality protein sources through whole foods should always be a priority… A balanced whole food diet may include adequate amounts of grass fed meat, fish, poultry, eggs, nuts, seeds, legumes and organic dairy. However, many people find this difficult for various reasons e.g. time poor, lack of access to quality food, eating too much processed food and increased requirements (e.g. pregnancy/breastfeeding and athletic training + competition). Protein offers a convenient and natural source of protein to help people meet their daily recommended requirements.

What is the difference between WPI and Whey protein concentrate?

This is a very common question, you can find out more on this topic here.

I have noticed there are black dots scattered within the actual powder. I was just wondering what they might be?

This is perfectly awesome! They are called pure vanilla bean pods because we use REAL vanilla in our powders.

Pure and fragrant vanilla bean powder from Tahiti and Madagascar is organically grown, naturally cured and sun-dried then ground into the purest fragrant powder available. Vanilla helps relax the nervous system and reduce inflammation. It is rich in antioxidants and can enhance mental performance.

My protein tub is dented, is it safe to use?

Many protein powders including Whey Protein Isolate, Organic Pea Protein and other types, can be oxygen scavengers depending on various things (including humidity, temperature and time). To keep our beautiful products fresh for you, we seal them with induction foil, this creates a closed space and essentially a vacuum is created and the walls of the tub can in some instances give way. However, there is nothing wrong with the product inside! If you have any concerns, please contact us on hello@thehealthychef.com

You can even use it for juices if you need to strain out all the pulp – or squeeze excess liquid from your zucchini to make delicious fritters!
