Can marine collagen help with weight loss?
Marine Collagen can help boost the metabolism by increasing lean muscle mass when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. Taking collagen regularly helps increase skeletal muscle resulting in an increased metabolism over time.
Is marine collagen safe to take during pregnancy or while breast feeding
Our collagen is safe and natural however we do not recommend taking marine collagen during pregnancy or breast feeding, this is due to hypersensitivity during pregnancy. It is recommended to take it after pregnancy to help build up skin elasticity, hair nails and joints. If you would like to drink one of our products during pregnancy or breast feeding consult with your doctor beforehand.
Why take only 2500mg of Marine Collagen rather than 8000mg or 10000mg - surely the more you take the better results you get?
The recommended serving is 2500mg at any one time. Consuming a higher volume of collagen in one dose could disperse into other parts of your body but it it’s more likely that your body will be unable to process the higher volume and remove it, or you may experience symptoms such as feeling overly full or an upset stomach.
How long does Marine Collagen take to work?
Usually between eight to twelve weeks depending on the individual. Age, diet, genetics and other lifestyle elements may have an effect.
Is FYX ok to drink if you are diabetic?

Is marine collagen gluten free or vegan friendly?
Marine Collagen is gluten free but not suitable for Vegans.
Which is better Marine Collagen or Bovine?
Fish collagen is absorbed up to 1.5 times more efficiently into the body which means it has superior bioavailability over bovine or porcine types. Fish and bovine collagen have the same benefits, however fish collagen has been proven to work faster to give you quicker results.
Is Marine Collagen safe to take if you have Thyroid problems?
When collagen levels are not working at their full capacity your thyroid health can be affected. Although the link is more indirect and it’s through your gut, the thyroid produces two hormones which are known as T3 and T4. One of the ways these hormones work is that they help to maintain cellular integrity of desmosomes cells that line the small intestine to keep the barrier strong. Taking collagen will help improve the barrier of the gut which can help ease thyroid issues. It is good to incorporate collagen into your diet on a daily basis but we do recommend to check with your doctors beforehand if you suffer with thyroid health problems.
