Collagen is a fibrous protein that accounts for 33% of the proteins found in the human body. Ever wondered why our joints start to ache and skin starts to get wrinkles as we age? The truth is our body produces less and less amounts of collagen as time passes by. This, however, is not the only important reason for us to incorporate gelatin in our routine diet. Its significance becomes more apparent when we know that gelatin contains 18 amino acids, half of which are considered essential for our survival; they cannot be generated by our bodies!

That is where Fish Gelatin comes in, it is a natural food additive with high nutrition value, fish skin gelatin is on top of the list for being:

– Rich in 18 kinds of amino acid:
The amino acids present in fish gelatin promotes the growth of hair and nails.
– High in protein
– Gelatin has been found to keep joints more flexible and reduce athletes’ joint pain as well as ease the pain of arthritis.
– Free of additives and preservatives
– Free of animal diseases

Food and pharmaceutical industries all over the world are witnessing an increasing demand for collagen and gelatin. Mammalian gelatins (bovine), being the most popular and widely used, are subject to major constraints and skepticism among consumers due to socio-cultural and health-related concerns. Fish gelatin (especially from warm-water fish) reportedly possesses similar characteristics to mammalian gelatin and may thus be considered as the best alternative to mammalian gelatin for use in food products.

The Best Part?

There are no reported cases of health concerns about gelatin, except for some people who are allergic to the animals from which gelatin has been derived.
– water soluble
– odorless and tasteless

QUESTION: What are the directions and dosage of fish gelatine?
Dosage: For optimal health, take 2 teaspoons daily (preferably before meals) Directions: Step 1: Soak the fish gelatine in a little cold water for at least 2 minutes (the longer the better), it is convenient to soak it overnight and take it on an empty stomach in the morning.

Step 2: Dissolve in hot liquid (tea, coffee, cereal, soup or even plain hot water). Stir and drink immediately.

QUESTION: Does Gelatine & Collagen have the same health benefits?
Answer: Yes! When it comes to the health benefits of gelatin and collagen, they are identical! Both have the exact same Amino Acid profile (The essential component that makes the gelatine & collagen so good for your health). The word “Collagen” is everywhere in the news, plastered all over and is all the hype. It is being promoted as the new superfood and fountain of youth. Many don’t realise that Gelatine is actually the ORIGINAL Collagen!

QUESTION: Can this be used as both a health supplement and as an ingredient in recipes that call for gelatine?
Yes! It can be used in both applications. Gelatine is in fact much more versatile than the pricey collagen powders on the market, apart from being a superfood and health supplement, gelatine is used in dessert making, candy making and even for hair lamination, face masks and crafts, unlike collagen which can only be used as a health supplement as it has been processed further to remove the original function of “gelling”. Another pro is that Gelatine is actually much much more reasonably priced, making it more feasible and affordable to include in your daily diet.

QUESTION: If gelatine is the original collagen, why are collagen supplements all the hype and so much more expensive than gelatine?
The promotion of “Collagen” instead of Gelatine has been funded by industry, for the simple fact that promoting the basic pantry ingredient Gelatine (which provides the exact same results), would be of little interest (in terms of profit) to the industry and world health and cosmetic companies.

QUESTION: Does it taste or smell fishy?
No, our fish gelatine is completely odourless, tasteless and unflavoured and is absolutely pleasant to consume.

QUESTION: Where is the Fish Gelatine manufactured?
We source exclusively from our HSC Halal / OU Kosher certified plant in China and independently test each batch locally at our labs in Cape Town.

QUESTION: Is it made from wild or farm-raised fish?
The raw material is made from the highest quality of fish, 100% halal and kosher Cichlid Tilapian. Farm raised in purified water, non GMO, kosher supervised. These are fully traceable.
We do not use wild caught fish as Marine collagen made from wild-caught fish can be contaminated with heavy metals since wild fish are exposed to high levels of mercury making it unsuitable especially in the health market.
Furthermore, the Cichlid Tilapian fish species proved to be the best to produce Gelatine because of its high protein content and being a warm water fish, it was the best selection.

QUESTION: Does it have any side effects?
No, fish gelatine has no side effects and is 100% safe to take even if you’re on other medications or chronic medications.

QUESTION: I’m allergic to fish and seafood, can I still consume the fish derived gelatine?
Yes! Fortunately one can safely consume the fish gelatine even if they are allergic to fish/seafood. The reason for this is because of the complex process it goes through to become gelatine. Nevertheless, as with anything, if one experiences any discomfort or negative effects, discontinue use. So far, there has not been a single documented report on any sort of negative effects from taking gelatine.

QUESTION: Is it safe for kids and during pregnancy?

Yes, fish gelatine is safe during pregnancy, lactation and is suitable for children of all ages.

QUESTION: Can I still take the gelatine if I have a chronic condition such as diabetes, cholesterol or a heart condition and on medication?
Yes! You can safely consume the gelatine. In fact, gelatine has been scientifically proven to be beneficial to those with chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart conditions, autoimmune diseases, etc. Gelatine has no contraindications.
Fish gelatine maintains heart health, strengthens the gut and lowers inflammation.

QUESTION: Which gelatine is most effective for health? Fish or Beef/Bovine Gelatine?
Fish gelatine is made up of Collagen Type I (which makes up 70% of the collagen in our bodies).  It is the best type of gelatine for skin, hair, nail and joint health.
Furthermore, for collagen to be absorbed quickly and effectively, molecular weight matters and while bovine- and other mammalian-derived gelatine can be effective, a 2015 study found that fish gelatine enters the bloodstream more rapidly and is absorbed up to one-and-a-half times more efficiently because of it’s low molecular weight.

QUESTION: How long will it take to work?

Some have noticed results in as little as 7 days, others may need to take it for at least 6 weeks before experiencing results. Consistency is the key.

QUESTION: It really worked! Do I now need to include it in my daily diet for life?
You don’t need to but it will be extremely beneficial for people 35 and older, remember with age, the body produces less collagen. The structural integrity of the skin declines. Wrinkles form, and joint cartilage weakens. Women experience a dramatic reduction in collagen synthesis after menopause. By the age of 60 years, a considerable decline in collagen production is normal. So, by adding gelatine to your daily diet, it will improve the skin’s appearance and joint functions naturally. So if you’re 40 or older, consider taking it as part of your daily diet for optimal wellness.
