Why is Marine Collagen Good for you and also Good for the Environment?

Much of the talk about collagen these days circles around Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides derived from bovine – cows for us normal folk. Very few people know that there are other sources of collagen including avian (birds) and marine (fish) that can be used as a dietary supplement to achieve similar goals. Pure Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen is a popular product on the market, but often leaves consumers scratching their heads as to why they should choose marine over bovine?

It’s a very good question – simply put – Marine Collagen is mostly Type I collagen whereas bovine is more diverse consisting of Type I and III collagen. If you’re curious as to the differences in the types of collagen please view our blog – What are the Different Types of Collagen in Zammex’ Multi Collagen Protein. Both products have brilliant amino acid profiles, however pure Marine Collagen Peptide Powder is especially rich in hydroxyproline, proline and glycine. Hydroxyproline and proline work wonders to achieve healthier, more elastic skin while also providing other benefits such as tissue and tendon repair, wound healing and combating arteriosclerosis. Glycine is a wonder amino acid that has over a dozen health benefits that include boosting mental performance, protecting skin from aging, helps build lean muscle, improves digestion by supporting stomach lining, supports the immune system, fights fatigue and improves sleep. There are tons more, but it’s something you should not take lightly if you’re starting to add dietary supplements to your everyday regimen.

Ultimately, you’re getting very similar benefits and it’s impossible for us to predict the efficacy of one vs. the other on you because every person responds differently. So…. with that said, why would you choose Marine vs. Bovine collagen. It really comes down to dietary preference. Some people avoid beef products and if that’s you – pure Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen Peptides is your choice and Zammex’ is one of the best. There’s one other very important factor that may influence your decision. Marine Collagen Peptides Our Marine Collagen is wild-caught via sustainable harvesting methods. It also has a positive effect on the environment in that it helps eliminate waste. How? Well, Marine Collagen Peptides are derived from scales, skin, bones and fins of fish. That leaves…well, the actual FISH MEAT (and some guts etc.)! The wonderfully healthy Marine Collagen is sourced from basically all the parts of the fish that are discarded once the meat is removed. This helps eliminate a ton of waste and has a positive effect on the environment.

Pure Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen Peptides are 100% good for you and good for the environment. All of Zammex Nutrition’s products are naturally sourced with absolutely no artificial ingredients added to them. They are Purity Realized, one of the pillars of our brand.

What are the Different Types of Collagen in Zammex’ Multi Collagen Protein?

Zammex Nutrition’s Ultimate Guide to Collagen will tell you everything you need to know about collagen supplementation. What it, and most other media on collagen, won’t explain is the various types of collagen. If you’ve been shopping a collagen supplement because you’ve read about the wonderful benefits it has to offer you’ve probably encountered Multi Collagen Protein or Multi Collagen Powder. Now you’re looking at your computer screen and you seen Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides and Multi Collagen Protein – umm what next?

Let’s start with the basics as to why a product like Multi Collagen Protein exists and what’s the difference between that and Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides. The standard Zammex black jar of Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides contains Type I and Type III collagen. The Multi Collagen purple jar contains Type I, Type II, Type III, Type V and Type X collagen. Your immediate reaction is “I should buy the Multi Collagen Protein, it has more types of collagen!” Hold that thought…

The various types of collagen have different applications in the body and equally important come from different sources in some cases –

• Type 1 Collagen – The most abundant type of collagen in the human body. Type I helps with skin elasticity and hydration. It helps rebuild muscle, tendon, eyes and bone, but also is quite helpful in hair and nails growth and strengthening. The source of Type I Collagen is bovine and marine.
• Type 2 Collagen – This type of collagen is mostly in cartilage and connective tissue. It makes up 50% of all cartilage and is extremely valuable in restoring connective tissue/tendons. The source of Type II Collagen in our product is chicken cartilage.
• Type 3 Collagen – Type 3 is unique in that it contains only one collagen α chain unlike the other types. It’s special because it supports gut health and intestinal lining. It also is present in muscles and other parts of the body. Type 3 Collagen goes even further by solidifying the benefits for hair, skin and nails Type I offers. The source of our Type 3 is bovine and marine.
• Type 5 Collagen – For the purpose of learning, we’ll call Type 5 collagen a proper sidekick to the major types of collagen above. It aids in the fibrillation – helps form fibers – with Type I and III collagen. This is why it’s so important for joint and tendon repair and helps clinical show improvement in range of motion, flexibility and pain associated with tendons and joints. The source of Type 5 collagen is avian sternum and egg shell membrane.
• Type 10 Collagen – If Type 5 Collagen is reinforcing the health of connective tissue and cartilage, Type X is taking it a step further. The addition of this collagen clinically shows healing of joints and bone reinforcement. Type 5 collagen is avian sternum and egg shell membrane.

From the above it’s pretty plain to see that if you suffer from joint, tendon, osteoarthritis or any other aches and pains often associated with getting old – a proper Multi Collagen Protein or Multi Collagen Powder like Zammex Nutrition’s is the way to go.

We hope that helps clarify the roles of the various types of Collagen you can take as a dietary supplement! If you have any more questions feel free to read our blogs or reach out!

Why Bone Broth Protein is the Perfect Supplement for HIIT & CrossFit

If you’re like most people you probably would like to start seeing some stability in the workout and diet trend world. So many diets and different workout genres appear, then disappear, then reappear – what works? More importantly, what has staying power? We are not spokespeople for CrossFit, but that is one training genre that is here to stay. In a broader sense, high intensity interval training or “HIIT” is also something that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. They are not one of the same but could certainly be put under the same umbrella in many ways. HIIT works. The benefits of performing this method of working out have demonstrated some serious positive effects on your overall health, strength and conditioning just like CrossFit.

If you’re currently in one of these programs or about to start one you probably are also looking into dietary supplements to help maximize your output and results from enduring what can often be a hellish exercise session. And that leads us to Bone Broth Protein Powder! For all the information you could ever need on Bone Broth Protein Powder please visit our Ultimate Guide to Bone Broth Protein on our website. For now, let’s get to the point as to why Bone Broth Protein is the perfect supplement for HIIT and CrossFit trainers of all shapes, sizes and gender –

·         Protect Joints – Bone Broth Powder is a great source of natural collagen. It also contains gelatin, glucosamine and chondroitin (as it’s derived from Bovine bones, cartilage etc.). All these things are support and promote healthy tendon and joints. As we age are joints and tendons get less flexible and experience wear and tear. If you’re doing HIIT or CrossFit you’re putting a ton of stress on your joints and tendons so taking a supplement to help counterattack that stress is vital. The gelatin is also very valuable as it’s internally utilized as cushion between bones which you’ll need if you’re doing box jumps or any other crazy impact stuff!

·         Good for the Gut – If you’ve read all our content, you’re probably sick of hearing about this one. Gut health is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT factors to optimize diet and training. Everything starts with your ability to effectively utilize nutrients from your daily food intake. Energy, muscle recovery, well-being, cognition, focus, the list could go on forever…. You need your engine running at max capacity, which means optimally absorbing nutrients. We’ve said it enough – it starts and ends with proper gut health and Bone Broth Protein effectively supports gut and intestinal health.

·         Immune Function – We don’t need to spend too much time here because it coincides with gut health – with restoration of gut health that Bone Broth Protein Powder offers a healthy immune system function and a proper inflammation response comes in return. All of this means better sleep, more energy, better mood – it’s pure happiness!

·         Pure Source Protein – So you’ve been taking whey protein eh? That’s good, but is it good for your gut? Is it a 100% pure source of protein? Some brands are – but many aren’t. Oh, and all those sugar alcohols and weird ingredients – they aren’t helping you either. Mix Bone Broth Protein in your food, coffee or other beverage and get 20 grams of pure protein with all the other added benefits. It’s a no-brainer.

It’s plain to see that Bone Broth Protein is a great partner for your intense workout regimen. Have a look at Zammex Nutrition’s Bone Broth Protein Powder today!
