Marine Collagen

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and performs important roles across its 28 different types. MetaPWR Advantage includes nine types of collagen:

• Collagen type I is related to skin beauty.
• Collagen type II is related to bone protection and is the main component of cartilage.
• Collagen type IV is the main protein of the basement membrane, connecting the dermis and the epidermis and forming a network structure to make the basement membrane malleable.
• Collagen type V is related to the regular arrangement of collagen fibers, stabilizing the structures of type I and type II collagen.
• Collagen type VI maintains mechanical function in the cell, supporting both muscle function and cell membrane integrity. Additionally, this collagen type inhibits oxidative damage and prevents spontaneous apoptosis.
• Collagen type IX is an important component of cartilage and is mainly distributed in the cartilage cells of growth plates, joints, and intervertebral discs.
• Collagen type XXV inhibits the fibrillation of amyloid beta peptide.
• Col1a2 protein is collagen fibrillin.
• Vacuolar protein sorting 37A is involved in cell growth and differentiation.

Our collagen is sourced from sustainably harvested cold-water marine fish and has been hydrolyzed (predigested) by endopeptidases and exopeptidases. These enzymes create small tripeptide fragments of three amino acid sequences for optimal absorption. Other collagens in the market—whether from land animals or marine sources—typically contain tripeptide content of 15–35%. MetaPWR Advantage collagen contains more than 70% tripeptide fragments for superior absorption (in some cases, up to 12 times more absorbable).
