What is Feel Iceland collagen made of?
Our collagen is a type 1 hydrolyzed marine collagen derived from wild Atlantic cod that is sustainably caught in the icy seas off the coast of Iceland. The fish skin is hydrolyzed, which means it is broken down into smaller molecules to make it easier for your body to absorb. Our collagen contains 18 vital amino acids to maintain skin elasticity, ligaments and bone density.
Why should I take collagen?
Our body produces collagen in large quantities until the age of 25, after that age the production decreases, and the modern diet of Icelanders does not contain a large amount of collagen, and therefore we get little from the diet itself, and therefore it is important to take collagen supplements. This decreasing production of collagen can lead to two things in our body:
1. Aging of the external appearance of the body in the form of fine lines and wrinkles
2. Problems like joint pain and stiffness

Yes, our products can be used by everyone. We recommend that people over the age of 25 use our products. At the age of 25, the body begins to produce less collagen and therefore especially at the age when collagen supplementation is needed. Younger customers such as athletes and people who exercise often use our products on a daily basis.
What do the experts say?
Clinical studies have also shown that oral supplementation of hydrolyzed collagen can help reduce joint pain and overall skin health (Feel Iceland Website 2021).

Marine animals cannot carry infectious diseases, as terrestrial animals often can, which can spread to the products of such animals.
