Collagen Straight Up Marine Collagen Peptides are sourced from wild-caught white fish off the coast of Australia. We are very excited to finally be able to bring you an ethically produced collagen peptide powder!
Marine collagen peptides are rich in type one collagen. They are easily absorbed and utilized.
Unlike many marine collagen products, these do not have a fishy smell or taste.
One thing often left out of the collagen peptide conversation is ethics. Most people are unaware of where it comes from, who produces it, and its associated problems. While collagen is very popular, nearly all of it is an ethical nightmare. From deforestation of the Amazon rainforest to slavery, land theft, and murder, the production of most collagen is horrific.
The vast majority of collagen peptide products are produced from raw materials farmed in South America, with most coming from Brazil. Some companies will buy these raw materials, refine them in another country, and hide where they come from. For example, a company may say their collagen is produced in Germany, but it is made from Brazilian cattle hides. Brazilian cattle farming comes at a very high cost. It is the leading cause of rainforest deforestation. The Amazon rainforest is often called the lungs of the earth. It’s not worth losing it over beef and collagen that can be farmed and produced elsewhere without environmental and ethical problems.
We have looked into this issue deeply, and based on our significant research, it is just not possible to source ethically produced collagen peptides from Brazil because of how hidden and corrupt the process is. Any company claiming to be either not being honest, does not care or is being fooled by fake paperwork and good marketing.
