What is the molecular weight of Landish marine collagen?Updated 3 days ago

Landish marine collagen has a molecular weight of approximately 3.5 kilodaltons (kDa).

This falls within the optimal range specified by Health Canada's hydrolyzed collagen monograph, which requires a molecular weight between 2 and 6 kDa. At 3.5 kDa, our collagen peptides are small enough for highly efficient absorption through the intestinal wall, supporting bioavailability.

At the same time, the peptides are not overly broken down, which is important—when collagen is too extensively hydrolyzed (closer to 2 kDa or below), it can lose the molecular markers that help the body recognize collagen peptides and trigger a collagen-stimulating response.

In short, 3.5 kDa represents a balanced molecular weight that supports high absorption while still delivering peptides the body can identify and use to stimulate collagen production effectively.
