Collagen Maxx
Fish-free collagen, from bovine peptides
Collagen Maxx uses bovine collagen peptides, not marine collagen. No fish, no shellfish, no fishy taste.
Bovine vs marine collagen
| Bovine (Collagen Maxx) | Marine | |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Cattle (bovine) | Fish skin and scales |
| Collagen types typically present | Types I and III | Mostly type I |
| Fish or shellfish | None | Fish; may be processed near shellfish |
| Taste in drinks | Neutral | Can be noticeable |
Both are hydrolysed into peptides and both count as protein. The choice mostly comes down to diet, allergies and taste.
Who fish-free collagen suits
- People who avoid fish for dietary or personal reasons
- People with a fish or shellfish allergy who want a collagen without those sources (always check the full label and ask your doctor)
