Where does this Collagen come from?
The collagen in Amazonia Raw Collagen Glow 5000 is derived from marine (fish) sources.
Why Marine Collagen?

This makes it easier for our bodies to use and fast to replenish collagen stores, making it the ideal source to help improve skin elasticity, promote thick hair, strong nails and youthful, firm skin.
What are the different types of Collagen?
There are actually various types of Collagen, including Types I, II and III. Type I makes up the majority of our skin, Type II our joints and cartilage, and Type III a combination of both.

Marine Collagen contains Types I and III, both known to help support skin firmness and elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Amazonia Raw Collagen Glow 5000 contains 5000mg of Type I and III Collagen.
What is the difference between Collagen and Gelatin?
Collagen and Gelatin are actually derived from the same sources - bones, connective tissue and skin, however they are not exactly the same thing. Collagen is found in bones and tissue, however cannot be eaten easily, so these parts must be cooked to make the actual collagen digestible. When these parts are hydrolyzed and dried, Gelatin powder is formed - this means that Gelatin is the result of cooked Collagen.
Another big difference is how they are processed. Collagen peptides are a more processed version through hydrolysis, so the smaller protein particles can be more easily digested and absorbed by our bodies. When mixed with water, Gelatin is generally thicker and jelly-like in consistency, whereas Collagen is similar to a fine powder and can be easily mixed into liquids or recipes.
What else does Collagen Glow 5000 contain?
This formula also includes powerful inner beauty ingredients such as Sea Buckthorn Juice (40mg/serve Vitamin C), which is high in Vitamin C, known to help support Collagen production. Vitamin C can also help to brighten and rehydrate skin from the inside out. Beetroot (100mg/serve) is also included for its high antioxidant content, working to protect the skin from free radical damage. Another core ingredient is Jerusalem Artichoke Inulin, a wholefood prebiotic which works to feed and nourish good bacteria (probiotics) in the gut.
