Fish collagen peptide supplements seem to show a lot of promise for multiple health problems.

FOR TYPE 2 DIABETES:

In a double-blind study (company-funded), a fish collagen peptide supplement reduced:

- fasting blood glucose
- HbA1c
- insulin resistance

FOR TYPE 2 DIABETES, BLOOD PRESSURE, CHOLESTEROL:

A marine collagen peptides supplement reduced:

- fasting blood glucose
- HbA1c
- diastolic blood pressure
- mean arterial pressure
- creatine
- triglycerides
- total cholesterol
- LDL

and increased:
- insulin sensitivity
- HDL

Some sources say marine collagen is more bioavailable than other forms of collagen.

Some sources say marine collagen peptides can improve bone density.

I’m not an expert on any of this and welcome more input.

“Some sources say marine collagen is more bioavailable than other forms of collagen.”

Thanks for that info.

As with other marine products, concern has been expressed that toxic heavy metals may be found in certain lots. I don’t know how meaningful this concern is regarding the frequency of this occurrence. Maybe just take a slightly higher dose of non-marine sourced product to make up for the poorer absorption?
