Our marine collagen
Our marine collagen is specially extracted from fish to revitalise your skin, strengthen your joints and regenerate your connective tissue. The fish collagen is tasteless and consists of pure collagen hydrolysate. Our collagen from fish contains no additives and is characterised by its high bioavailability.
Why fish collagen?
-
Type 1 collagen
Our marine collagen consists of type 1 collagen, the main component of skin, tendons and bones. Marine collagen therefore not only supports skin elasticity, but also contributes to the health of your joints.
-
Alternative to beef
Collagen from fish is a first-class alternative to collagen from beef or pork. Fish collagen is ideal for pescetarians and people who are sensitive to animal proteins from pork or beef.
-
Best bioavailability
Due to its low molecular weight, marine collagen can pass through the intestinal wall particularly quickly and enter the bloodstream. Fish collagen is therefore particularly easily absorbed by the body.

Bioactive peptides vs. simple collagen
Not all collagen is the same. ‘Simple’ collagen is obtained by hydrolysis as a strand from animal raw material. The special feature of our bioactive collagen peptides is that they are optimised for their physiological properties by so-called ‘enzymatic hydrolysis’. This produces protein fragments or collagen peptides that are optimised to modulate certain physiological processes in the body. In Marine Collagen, the bioactive collagen peptides are specially optimised for beauty applications. They stimulate the skin's metabolism and counteract the loss of the collagen extracellular matrix from the inside out.

Clinical studies confirm effectiveness
The specific effectiveness of marine collagen has been proven by a whole series of clinical studies, including
- Reduction in wrinkle depth by 32% and wrinkle volume by 23% (study: Proksch et al., 2014)
- Increase in hair follicle cells (hair thickness) by 31% (study: Oesser, 2020)
- Increase in nail growth by 12% and reduction in nail fragility by 42% (study: Hexsel et al., 2017)

Let customers speak for us
from 294 reviewsSehr zufrieden. hilft für die hautpflege, mindert feine linien und verbessert die hautstruktur. hohe dosierung, zu 100% rein und ohne zusätze - genau das was ich gesucht habe. Supi supi supi
Klare Kaufempfehlung
Guter Preis für die spezielle Anwendung für Knochen. Löst sich sehr gut auf, kein Eigengeschmack.
Das Pulver löst sich schnell und problemlos auf, was ich auch schon anders erlebt habe. 5 Sterne dafür.
Besonders praktisch: Ein bis zwei Teelöffel reichen völlig aus, was das Produkt sparsam macht und das Dosieren erleichtert. Noch einmal 5 STerne.
Der Geschmack ist angenehm neutral. Da ich Geschmacksverstärker nicht mag, ist es für mich genau richtig. Auch dafür 5 Sterne.
Erwartungen übererfüllt! Hervorragende Löslichkeit, nahezu geschmacksneutral --- habe ich auch schon ganz anders erlebt bei anderen Anbietern.
Das beste Typ-2-Kollagen auf dem Markt. Hervorragender, neutraler Geschmack ohne Nachgeschmack. Ich habe über 10 Kollagenprodukte auf Schweinebasis ausprobiert, und dieses schmeckt am besten. Absolut empfehlenswert!
Dieses Produkt hat mich schon nach wenigen Wochen überrascht... habe Gelenkprobleme vor allem in den Knien. Nach kurzer Zeit waren die Gelenkschmerzen DEUTLICH besser. Deshalb kann ich es nur wärmstens empfehlen. Ich schreibe selten Produktbewertungen, aber das Gelenk Kollagen hier verdient für mich 5 Sterne.
Gut: Umweltfreundliche Verpackung in dunkler Glasdose. Besser: Ohne Zusatzstoffe - keine Gentechnik, keine Konservierungsstoffe, nix. Am besten: Wirksamkeit der Produkte ist durch Studien untermauert. 5 Sterne dafür
Wollte mal die Kapseln ausprobieren, da es auf Reisen oft nervig ist, Kollagen als Pulver mitzunehmen. Empfohlene Tagesdosis liegt bei 4-6 Kapseln, das macht schon Sinn damit auch ein bisschen was in den Körper kommt. Kollagen stammt vom Schwein was man vielleicht als schlecht empfindet, aber das Gegenteil ist der Fall: Das Kollagen vom Schwein ähnelt dem menschlichen Kollagen sehr stark so dass die Aufnahme gut ist. Ich nehme die Kapseln morgens auf nüchternen Magen ein und habe keinerlei Probleme. Besonders gut: Das Kollagen hat keine Zusatzstoffe, sondern pures Kollagen. Alles in allem top!
Meine Haut hat sich klarer und glatter angefüllt. Nach zweiwöchiger Einnahme der Pillen sehe ich eine spürbare Veränderung. Ich finde aber sechs Tabletten pro Tag Zuviel und nehme vier. Kann man die Kapseln nicht kleiner und reichhaltiger machen?
Gute Wirkung, guter Geschmack, sehr gute Löslichkeit.
Ich bin 67 Jahre und die Wirkung sehe ich eindeutig. Top kann ich nur sagen
Habe vorher ein anderes Collagen verwendet, was nicht explizit auf Knochengesundheit ausgerichtet war. Auf der Suche nach einem spezialisierten Produkt bin ich auf das Kollagen Institut gestoßen. Deutlich günstiger als die Spezial-Produkte aus der Apotheke! Und wissenschaftlich geprüft und untersucht, das hat mich in meiner Entscheidung bestätigt
Habe lange überlegt und viele Rezensionen gelesen... und mich dann für das Veggie Collagen entschieden. Einfach einzunehmen, 1 Kapsel täglich, fertig. Mir geht es gut, keinerlei Nebenwirkungen. Gelenke fühlen sich etwas besser an. Daher empfehle ich es erst einmal weiter.

FAQs about marine collagen
What is marine collagen?
Marine collagen is a natural source of protein extracted from the skin scales of fish and other marine organisms. It is often used as a dietary supplement as it is rich in amino acids, which are important for the formation of collagen in the human body. Taking marine collagen is said to improve skin elasticity, strengthen joints and promote the health of hair and nails.
Is marine collagen as good as bovine collagen?
Marine collagen is obtained from fish. It differs from other types of collagen due to its smaller molecular size and lower weight. As a result, it has a high bioavailability and can be easily absorbed by the body. Marine collagen can therefore penetrate deep into the skin and effectively improve skin elasticity and moisture.
Why add collagen?
The body's own collagen production decreases with age. On average, from the age of 25, the amount of collagen in the skin decreases by almost 2% per year. At the age of 60, most people have around 80% less collagen in their skin than at the age of 25.
Why take Kollagen Institut collagen?
Our product is natural, of the highest quality and with real effectiveness - scientifically proven.
How quickly will I see the first results?
This depends on a number of factors, including age, health, metabolism and regularity of use. Some customers see improvements within a few weeks, while others see slow and steady progress over months. In either case, regularity of intake is the key to success.
How do I take marine collagen?
Marine collagen powder: For daily use, we recommend mixing the collagen into your favourite drink.
Marine collagen capsules: For daily use, we recommend taking the recommended daily dosage with meals with a large glass of liquid.
Is marine collagen the right collagen for you?
There are many factors that influence the choice of the right collagen for you. But collagen is only effective if it is precisely tailored to your needs. With our product finder, we analyse your needs and find the right collagen for you.
