What is the amino acid profile of Landish marine collagen?Updated a month 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-specific amino acids (vital for skin, joints, and connective tissues)
- Glycine — 1,871 mg (essential for collagen formation and detoxification)
- Proline — 810 mg (supports skin elasticity and joint health)
- Hydroxyproline — 519 mg (unique to collagen; crucial for stability and strength)
- Hydroxylysine — 105 mg (supports collagen cross-linking and durability)
Key non-essential amino acids (supports cellular function and energy)
- Alanine — 698 mg (aids in energy production and muscle function)
- Arginine — 776 mg (supports circulation and nitric oxide production)
- Aspartic acid — 354 mg (plays a role in metabolism and immune function)
- Glutamic acid — 719 mg (supports gut and brain health; precursor to glutamine)
- Serine — 476 mg (essential for neurotransmitters and metabolism)
- Tyrosine — 39 mg (supports stress response and cognitive function)
Essential amino acids (needed for overall health and protein synthesis)
- Lysine — 336 mg (crucial for collagen production and calcium absorption)
- Histidine — 167 mg (supports skin repair and immune function)
- Isoleucine — 94 mg (important for muscle repair and energy metabolism)
- Leucine — 170 mg (stimulates muscle protein synthesis and recovery)
- Methionine — 129 mg (supports detoxification and antioxidant production)
- Phenylalanine — 154 mg (precursor to dopamine; essential for mood and cognition)
- Threonine — 282 mg (supports skin hydration and immune function)
- Valine — 135 mg (supports endurance and muscle repair)
What's not in collagen (not required for collagen synthesis)
- Cystine
- Tryptophan
Marine Collagen Beauty Blend and Marine Collagen Lion’s Mane Creamer contain 5 g (5,000 mg) of marine collagen per serving, so their amino acid breakdown is proportional to this amount.
