Marine collagen powder could be your top choice for a clean, powerful way to boost skin, joints, and overall vitality.³ Sourced exclusively from wild-caught fish skins, unlike cheaper brands that use fish bones and scales, Amandean’s Marine Collagen offers exceptional bioavailability. New testing reveals it contains Types I, II, III, and IV collagen, supporting skin, bones, cartilage, and connective tissue, making it a versatile multi-collagen perfect for beauty and joint health.²⁻³
At Amandean, our Premium Marine Collagen Powder is a hydrolyzed protein supplement sourced from wild-caught Icelandic whitefish like cod, pollock, hake, and haddock. Unlike bovine or porcine collagen, which typically blend Types I and III, our marine collagen contains Types I, II, III, and IV, as shown by recent testing. This multi-collagen mix supports skin, cartilage, tendons, bones, and connective tissue, making it a versatile choice for overall health.²
Sustainably harvested from pristine North Atlantic waters, Amandean’s marine collagen offers a non-GMO formula free from gluten, dairy, soy, sugar, and artificial fillers. This makes it especially appealing to pescatarians, those with food sensitivities, and wellness-minded consumers seeking a clean, ethical protein source.
What truly sets marine collagen apart is its high bioavailability: a fancy way of saying it’s more easily absorbed and utilized by the body.³ Through enzymatic hydrolysis, collagen proteins are broken down into smaller peptides, giving marine collagen a naturally low molecular weight. These smaller particles have increased water solubility, making them better suited for efficient absorption.³ This way, it’s easier for your body to use than other, heavier collagen proteins. Amandean’s marine collagen peptides are double hydrolyzed using natural fruit enzymes, lowering the molecular weight to less than 2,000 Daltons.
Marine collagen is water soluble and metabolically compatible, which has led to its increasing use in both food and cosmetic applications.³ Researchers have looked at how marine collagen may support skin health by studying how it interacts with essential skin cells (like those that help build and repair your skin) in lab settings.³ Research indicates that collagen peptides may support skin barrier function, hydration, and elasticity over time, particularly due to their glycine and proline content, two amino acids abundant in marine collagen.³
Additionally, preclinical research suggests marine collagen may help support bone-related processes, such as promoting osteoblast activity (cells responsible for bone formation) and mineral deposition.³ While these results are promising, it’s important to note that most studies have been in vitro or in vivo, meaning more human clinical data is still emerging.
One of the biggest perks of marine collagen powder is that it’s incredibly accessible and easy to use. Amandean’s formula dissolves effortlessly in hot and cold liquids, making it perfect for coffee, smoothies, or even a glass of water. The neutral flavor means it won't overpower your recipe or routine, and because it's a pure, clean protein, it's ideal for those focused on healthy aging, joint support, and beauty from within, without any fillers or junk.

If you’re looking for a collagen option that supports your goals and aligns with your values, marine collagen powder checks many boxes, especially in easy-to-use stick pack form.

If you’ve spent more than five minutes in the supplement aisle (or scrolling through beauty TikTok), you’ve likely encountered an army of collagen options. Bovine, porcine, chicken, and yes – marine. While all offer structural proteins that play a role in skin, joint, and connective tissue health, the differences lie in the source, type, and how easily your body can use them.
First, let’s talk sourcing. Amandean’s marine collagen is extracted from the skin of wild-caught Icelandic whitefish, cod, pollock, haddock, and hake. In contrast, bovine collagen is typically derived from the hides and bones of cows. If you prefer land-based collagen, we do offer a Collagen Peptides Powder that’s sourced exclusively from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle.
Meanwhile, porcine collagen comes from pigs – often from conventional farming environments—and chicken collagen, usually found in capsule form, is extracted from cartilage, typically from chicken sternums. Marine collagen tends to have the edge for consumers who prioritize sustainability and minimal processing, primarily when sourced from wild-caught fish using ocean-friendly practices.
Marine collagen from Amandean contains Types I, II, III, and IV collagen, as shown by recent testing, offering a multi-collagen blend for comprehensive support. Type I, abundant in the body²⁻³, bolsters skin structure, hydration, bones, nails, and tendons.² Type II aids cartilage and joint health, while Type III supports skin and connective tissue. Type IV contributes to tissue integrity. Bovine collagen typically mixes Types I and III, while chicken collagen is rich in Type II for joint support, varying by your body’s needs.²
While each type has merits, marine collagen is especially well-suited for those focused on "beauty from within" and overall healthy aging support.
One of marine collagen’s standout qualities is its bioavailability. Due to its smaller peptide size, marine collagen may be absorbed more efficiently by the body than bovine or chicken collagen.³ Amandean marine collagen is double hydrolyzed with natural fruit enzymes to reduce the molecular weight to below 2,000 Daltons, making it one of the most bioavailable collagens on the market. This means your system has a better chance of putting those amino acids to work quickly and effectively, especially when taken daily and combined with a source of vitamin C, like our Liposomal Vitamin C, for optimal absorption.
Then there’s the matter of taste and convenience. Marine collagen is often praised for its clean taste and smooth texture. Amandean’s Marine Collagen powder, also available in pre-measured stick packs, dissolves quickly in hot or cold drinks – no fishy flavor or gritty residue. Whether you're team coffee, tea, or smoothie, it's an easy addition to your daily routine.
At Amandean, our bovine collagen blends easily into your food and drink, and we also have a stick pack version that’s perfect for tossing into your bag, gym tote, or suitcase for travel-friendly wellness.
Ultimately, the best collagen for you depends on your needs and preferences. But if you’re looking for a clean, versatile, and highly bioavailable supplement that supports a pescatarian or high-protein lifestyle, marine collagen is a standout option. It combines beauty-forward benefits with ease of use, and with Amandean’s stick packs, adding it to your daily routine couldn’t be simpler.

It depends on your goals. Marine collagen powder, the “Rolls Royce” of collagen, boasts superior bioavailability, meaning your body absorbs and uses it efficiently. Rich in glycine, the “anti-aging” amino acid, it supports skin, hair, and nail health. Bovine collagen, with Types I and III, aids joint health, gut lining, and connective tissues. Marine collagen shines for beauty-focused routines, while bovine suits those seeking broader structural support.
Marine collagen comes from fish, so it’s not suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets, but is perfect for pescatarians. While plant-based supplements can provide nutrients to boost natural collagen production, true collagen is only found in animal sources.
Amandean’s marine collagen is sustainably sourced from the skins of wild-caught whitefish in the pristine waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. It’s double hydrolyzed (aka enzymatically processed) to enhance absorption, contains no additives or fillers, and is rigorously third-party tested for quality and purity. You won’t find any farmed fish or bycatch here – just clean, premium collagen peptides.

Yes. Like most supplements, marine collagen powder is best used within its labeled shelf life. For our Marine Collagen Powder, it will last you three years from the manufactured date. The individual stick pack version will also stay in optimal condition for three years if it’s kept in its original sealed packaging.
Keep your marine collagen powder happy by securing the lid tightly after each use and stashing it in a cool, dry place like your pantry. Moisture and heat are not friends, so avoid steamy cabinets or windowsills. With proper care, you can count on your marine collagen to stay fresh, potent, and ready for daily use – whether adding it to coffee, smoothies, or a favorite recipe.
