Description
Our Fish Collagen is a hydrolysed collagen peptides, supplied as a powder. Each batch is checked for 99%+ purity. It’s intended for research use only.
What is Fish Collagen?
Marine collagen is hydrolysed collagen from fish skin and scales, broken into small peptides. It’s mostly type I collagen and rich in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline.
Small peptides like prolyl-hydroxyproline survive digestion.
Mechanism of action
Collagen peptides supply glycine, proline and hydroxyproline for building new collagen. Some short peptides, such as prolyl-hydroxyproline, reach the blood intact and signal fibroblasts to make more collagen.
Fish collagen peptides tend to be smaller and absorb faster than many bovine ones.
Fish Collagen research
Proksch and colleagues reported in 2014 that collagen peptides improved skin elasticity in women over eight weeks.
Studies on fish-specific collagen are smaller.
The primary literature is on PubMed. Here’s a search to start from.
Options and prices
This listing is 200g of powder for $38.50.
The powder is the bulk form, for labs that weigh their own amounts. Use a milligram scale for accuracy.
Using Fish Collagen in the lab
Nutrient research usually measures blood levels of the nutrient itself first, then the downstream markers, such as NAD+ levels, homocysteine, glutathione or inflammatory markers.
Baseline status matters a lot. Effects are usually larger in subjects that start out low, so measure it before exposure begins.
Keep the rest of the diet steady during a nutrient study. Changes in food intake can swamp a small supplement effect.

Quality and testing
We test each batch for identity and purity before it ships, using HPLC and mass spectrometry, with independent third-party checks on top of our own.
The batch number on the label matches the certificate of analysis. If your lab keeps paperwork on file, ask us for it and we’ll email it over.
Keeping it fresh
Keep the container sealed at room temperature, away from heat, moisture and sunlight. Note the batch number and the date you opened it in your lab records.
Handling notes
Treat it as a lab chemical. Gloves and safety glasses are the minimum, and a clean, uncluttered workspace cuts down on mix-ups.
Store prepared solutions apart from untouched stock, and record who mixed what and when.
What you’ll need
- a milligram scale, since powder has to be weighed
- a suitable solvent if you’re making your own solution, such as DMSO or propylene glycol

How it compares
N-Acetyl-Cysteine Ethyl Ester: N-acetyl-cysteine ethyl ester, or NACET, is NAC with an ethyl ester added. That makes it much more fat-soluble.
Magnesium Taurate: Magnesium taurate pairs magnesium with taurine, an amino acid-like compound found in heart and brain tissue.
Urolithin B Powder: Urolithin B is another gut bacteria metabolite of ellagitannins. It has one fewer hydroxyl group than urolithin A.
N-Acetyl Carnosine: N-acetyl carnosine is carnosine with an acetyl group on its beta-alanine end. That makes it resist carnosinase, the enzyme that breaks down carnosine.
