Applied Nutrition Marine Collagen Powder

Applied Nutrition Marine Collagen Powder (Unflavoured)

Category: Skin + Joint + Wellness Supplement
Servings: 25 (300 g tub, ~12 g per serving)
Key actives: Hydrolysed Marine Collagen Peptides (Type I, from fish)

⚡ Quick Summary
A straight-shooting marine collagen powder with one ingredient: hydrolysed Type I collagen from wild-caught fish. It mixes cleanly, delivers an effective daily dose (~10–12 g), and avoids sweeteners, colours, and fillers. Expect subtle improvements in skin hydration/elasticity and gentle support for joints over 8–12 weeks. It’s not a complete protein for muscle gain, but as a focused collagen top-up, this is a tidy, good-value option.

🔹 Necessity — 10 / 20
Helpful for adults looking to offset age-related collagen decline or support skin/joint comfort, but not essential for everyone. Best for people 30+, high training loads, or low dietary collagen.

✅ Helpful for: skin hydration/elasticity, mild joint comfort, nail strength
❌ Not essential for: those prioritising muscle protein (use whey/EAAs), vegans, or anyone already meeting goals through diet alone

🔹 Effectiveness — 15 / 20
Hydrolysed peptides at ~10–12 g/day align with clinical trials showing small-to-moderate benefits for skin and exercise-related joint comfort over 8–12+ weeks. As with all collagen, effects are subtle and cumulative; pair with vitamin C and consistent intake.

🔹 Ingredients — 17 / 20
Single-ingredient formula (hydrolysed marine collagen) with no flavours, sweeteners, or anti-caking agents. Loses a point versus best-in-class only for limited publicly shared third-party testing details.

🔹 Safety — 18 / 20
Generally very well tolerated. Primary caution is fish allergy. As with any marine source, look for batches with heavy-metal/micro testing; nothing concerning in typical use.

🔹 Value — 16 / 20
~£23 for 25 servings is solid on a cost-per-gram basis versus capsules. Delivers a clinically useful dose without paying for flavour systems or extras.
