What is the amino acid profile of Landish marine collagen?Updated 2 months ago

Landish marine collagen is pure protein and a rich source of amino acids, particularly glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline—key building blocks for collagen production in the body. Here’s the typical amino acid breakdown per 1.5 tbsp (8.3 g) serving of our Pure Canadian Marine Collagen:

Collagen Amino Acid Profile (Per Serving)

Collagen is rich in key amino acids that support skin, joints, and bone health. Below is the breakdown per serving:

Collagen-Specific Amino Acids (Vital for skin, joints, and connective tissues)

  • Glycine – 1,871 mg (Essential for collagen formation & detoxification)

  • Proline – 810 mg (Supports skin elasticity & joint health)

  • Hydroxyproline – 519 mg (Unique to collagen, crucial for stability & strength)

  • Hydroxylysine – 105 mg (Supports collagen cross-linking & durability)

Key Non-Essential Amino Acids (Supports cellular function & energy)

  • Alanine – 698 mg (Aids in energy production & muscle function)

  • Arginine – 776 mg (Supports circulation & nitric oxide production)

  • Aspartic Acid – 354 mg (Plays a role in metabolism & immune function)

  • Glutamic Acid – 719 mg (Supports gut & brain health, precursor to glutamine)

  • Serine – 476 mg (Essential for neurotransmitters & metabolism)

  • Tyrosine – 39 mg (Supports stress response & cognitive function)

Essential Amino Acids (Needed for overall health & protein synthesis)

  • Lysine – 336 mg (Crucial for collagen production & calcium absorption)

  • Histidine – 167 mg (Supports skin repair & immune function)

  • Isoleucine – 94 mg (Important for muscle repair & energy metabolism)

  • Leucine – 170 mg (Stimulates muscle protein synthesis & recovery)

  • Methionine – 129 mg (Supports detoxification & antioxidant production)

  • Phenylalanine – 154 mg (Precursor to dopamine, essential for mood & cognition)

  • Threonine – 282 mg (Supports skin hydration & immune function)

  • Valine – 135 mg (Supports endurance & muscle repair)

What’s Not in Collagen? (not required for collagen synthesis)

  • Cystine 

  • Tryptophan 

Marine Collagen Beauty Blend and Marine Collagen Functional Coffee Creamer contain 5 g (5,000 mg) of marine collagen per serving, so their amino acid breakdown is proportional to this amount.
