Marine Collagen

Our body is made up of a third Collagen and is present in skin, joints, bones, muscle and connective tissues.

Naturally from the age of about 25, combined by an imbalanced diet and deficiencies in micronutrients, our body’s production of collagen and elastin decreases by about 1% every year.
By age 45, your collagen levels may have fallen by as much as 30%.
The collagen fibres become weaker resulting in fatigue, weakened immune systems, joint pain, muscle & body aches, skin rash and thinner, drier skin, commonly referred to as fine lines and wrinkles, where sagging skin has lost it’s elasticity.

Science has shown that collagen supplementation may protect against and reverse these effects.
Marine Collagen which is a type 1 collagen, is made of collagen peptides derived from fish and has the most efficient absorption of all kinds of collagen.

PRE – PRO – POSTBIOTICS

Probiotic Postbiotics have been garnering increasing interest in recent times as new evidence of their benefits emerge. Live probiotic bacteria have certain limitations for commercial use due to requirement of viability retention in storage and processing.

Our Probiotic Postbiotics are specific strain developed postbiotic products and blends that have been validated independently by the Mucosal Immunology Research Group at Griffith University, Gold Coast. These postbiotics are shown to be non-cytotoxic to the host. Postbiotic type probiotics modulate immune responses similar or better than their probiotic counterparts.

Due to increased stability, temperature and pressure tolerances, postbiotics have significant shelf-life benefits when compared to live probiotics, and can be used for immunomodulation in functional foods, cosmetics, therapeutics and agricultural biomacromolecules.
