Collagen is the most abundant form of protein in our body, providing us with strength, elasticity, tone and structure. It acts like the ‘glue’ that holds the body together. Inside the body, three types of collagen run the show, benefitting the health of skin, hair, nails and bones (type 1); cartilage and connective tissues (type 2); and muscles and internal organs (type 3).

Sustainably sourced from the skins of wild-caught cod, Effervess is a source of Type 1 collagen, especially beneficial in the realm of beauty (think full hair, strong nails and plump skin). The collagen in Effervess undergoes a process called hydrolyzation, in which collagen particles are broken down with the help of enzymes into smaller molecules, called peptides. These smaller particles are easier for our bodies to digest and absorb.

Some of the reported benefits of marine collagen for beauty include:

• Rejuvenated skin
• Improved skin texture and hydration
• Fuller and smoother hair
• Stronger nails
• Faster-growing hair and nails
• Reduced cellulite

Vitamin C is an important antioxidant for our body, helping not only support the immune system, but also providing protection from the harmful effects of oxidative damage from free radicals in the body. Another important role of vitamin C is in enhancing the natural production of collagen, as it's essential for the conversion of the amino acid lysine into procollagen, which then transforms into the many different types of collagen found in our connective tissues.

Q: Is this the same collagen as your Enhanced Collagen powder?

A: No, it is not. Effervess contains hydrolyzed marine collagen from wild-caught codfish, whereas Enhanced Collagen is sourced from the hides of grass-fed cattle.

Q: Which is better? Marine or bovine collagen?

A: They’re both great options! Marine collagen is known for providing type 1 collagen, beneficial for improving the appearance of hair, skin and nails. Bovine collagen, such as our Enhanced Collagen, is a source of collagen types 1 and 3, beneficial for beauty as well as joints and your internal organs, especially the gut lining. If you are avoiding cattle-derived products, or are looking for a more convenient way to take your collagen - give Effervess a try!

Q: Does it taste fishy?

A: No, it does not! The marine collagen in Effervess undergoes an enzyme-aided process called hydrolyzation, making it easier to absorb and removing any fishy smell or aftertaste. 

Q: I already take your Enhanced Collagen. Can I take this at the same time?

A: Absolutely! Your body needs multiple types of collagen to function optimally. We encourage combining different collagen types to help you get the amino acids necessary for whole-body benefits.

Q: How many tablets can I take in a day?

A: We recommend 2 tablets a day. Throw one at a time into your water bottle to boost your water and hydrate!

Q: Does the bubbling destroy the collagen?

A: No it does not. The collagen is already hydrolyzed into smaller particles.

Q: How long does the tablet take to fully dissolve?

A: Effervess tablets are large and in charge! They may take up to 15 minutes to fully dissolve, due to their size and high collagen content (1.5 g per tablet). The dissolving action happens when water comes into contact with the surface of the tablet – a large surface will therefore need a little extra time.

Q: Your Marine Collagen powder dissolves quickly, why do the tablets take longer?

A: When you add Marine Collagen powder to your drinks, it readily dissolves as it is in direct contact with the liquid. In tablet form, only the surface comes into contact with water, and more of the tablet is exposed as it dissolves, releasing the collagen within effortlessly – no stirring, whisking or blending required!

Q: Where is the marine collagen sourced from?

A: Effervess contained hydrolyzed marine collagen from wild-caught codfish sourced from Korea.
