What Does Marine Collagen Do for You?
At Pro.Brew, we’re passionate about creating a coffee experience that’s not just enjoyable but also packed with benefits. That's why each serving of Pro.Brew contains 8000mg (8g) of marine collagen—enough to give you noticeable health benefits without compromising the smooth, aromatic taste of our premium Colombian Arabica coffee.
You might be wondering, "Why only 8g? Why not 15g?" The answer is simple: balance. We've added the maximum amount of collagen and amino acids that won't interfere with the rich coffee experience you love.
Current research suggests that you can get all the benefits from dosages between 2.5g to 15g, and there's no established optimal dose. With 8g in one cup of coffee, combined with a well-balanced diet, you're getting plenty of daily collagen.
So, what exactly does collagen do for you? Let’s break it down.
1. Promotes Joint Health
Marine collagen is a powerhouse when it comes to supporting your joints. Studies have shown that hydrolysed marine collagen can boost bone density and promote cartilage regeneration. This means:
- Reduced Joint Inflammation: Marine collagen helps to soothe and reduce inflammation in your joints, keeping you more comfortable and active.
- Reduced Joint Pain: By strengthening the cartilage and bones, collagen helps in reducing joint pain, especially for those with active lifestyles or joint issues.
- Stronger Bones: Regular intake of marine collagen supports the maintenance of strong, healthy bones, helping to prevent issues like osteoporosis.
2. Supports Muscle Repair
Collagen plays a crucial role in muscle repair and recovery as well. It contains 19 amino acids, 8 of which are essential amino acids. However, to provide you with a complete protein, Pro.Brew includes the 9th essential amino acid that collagen naturally lacks.
- Amino Acids Power: Marine collagen is rich in Arginine and Glycine, both vital for the body’s production of creatine, which is key for energy production in your muscles. This means quicker recovery and better performance during workouts.
3. Enhances Skin Health
If glowing skin is your goal, marine collagen should be your go-to supplement. Research has shown that it can:
- Reduce Wrinkles: Marine collagen helps to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by supporting the skin's structure from within.
- Improve Skin Elasticity: It boosts the skin’s elasticity, giving it a firmer, more youthful appearance.
- Strengthen Hair & Nails: Not just skin, but your hair and nails benefit too, becoming stronger and less prone to breakage.
4. Supports Gut Health
Your gut is the foundation of overall health, and marine collagen can be a great ally here. It helps to:
- Strengthen the Intestinal Lining: Marine collagen supports the health of your gut by reinforcing the lining of your intestines, which can lead to better digestion and overall digestive health.

While the current research on collagen is solid, it’s important to note that this field is continually evolving. We may not yet have the precise dosages and timing guidelines as we do with other protein sources, but the unique properties of collagen make it a valuable addition to your daily routine. As research advances, you can count on us at Pro.Brew to refine and improve our products to bring you the best in collagen-based health benefits.
