Does heating marine collagen (e.g., in coffee, tea, or baking) degrade its benefits?Updated a month ago

No. Hydrolyzed marine collagen already undergoes a boiling step during the hydrolysis process, which breaks it down into small peptides. This makes it heat-stable, so typical hot beverage or baking temperatures won't degrade its benefits. It can be safely stirred into coffee, tea, soups, or baking recipes without losing effectiveness.

However, if you're using the Beauty Blend, keep in mind that it contains hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, which are heat-sensitive and may partially break down at high temperatures. The collagen peptides and other key nutrients remain stable, but for best results with the Beauty Blend, mix it into cold or warm (not hot) beverages.
