Marine Collagen Gummies

The Marine Collagen gummy is one of six gummies in the daily GUUDIES pouch. It carries 200mg of hydrolysed marine collagen peptides, Type I and III, with 100mcg of biotin. Peach flavour, pectin based. This is the one GUUDIES gummy that is not vegan.

What is in the Marine Collagen gummy

Contains fish

Marine collagen is derived from fish. That makes this gummy unsuitable for vegans and vegetarians, and unsuitable for anyone with a fish allergy. We say so plainly rather than burying it in small print. The other five gummies in the pouch are vegan, so leaving this one out is straightforward if you need to.

What hydrolysed means

Collagen in its natural state is a large, tightly wound protein. Hydrolysis breaks it into shorter chains called peptides, which are small enough to be absorbed through the gut wall. Every collagen supplement worth buying is hydrolysed, and if a label does not say so it is worth checking why.

Type I and III

There are at least 28 known types of collagen. Type I is the most abundant in the human body and is the main structural protein in skin, tendon and bone. Type III is often found alongside it. Marine collagen is predominantly Type I, which is why fish sourced collagen is common in this category rather than the Type II found in cartilage sources.

Biotin at 200% NRV

Biotin is vitamin B7, a water soluble B vitamin. This gummy carries 100µg, which is 200% of the nutrient reference value. There is a further 30µg in the Daily Greens+ gummy.

How to take it

One Marine Collagen gummy a day, taken together with the other five gummies in your mini pouch, with or after food. Each pouch holds 28 daily servings. Designed for consistent daily use as part of your GUUDIES routine.

Format, allergens and suitability

Pectin based, so no gelatine, but not vegan, since it contains marine collagen from fish. Contains fish. Around 0.3 calories and 0.4g of sugar per gummy, sweetened with tapioca syrup. No synthetic dyes, no artificial sweeteners, no gluten, dairy, nuts, GMOs or fillers.

Formulated for adults aged 18 and over. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking prescription medication, check with your GP before starting any new supplement.

One of six gummies in the routine

Each GUUDIES mini pouch holds six gummies, every one targeting a different system so they work together rather than overlapping:

• Daily Greens+ Multivitamin, the core vitamin, mineral and greens base, tropical flavour
• Mushroom Mix, five functional mushrooms, mixed berries flavour
• ACV, apple cider vinegar with the mother, tangy apple flavour
• Sea Moss, Irish sea moss, raspberry flavour
• Metabolic, saffron, lemon and blood orange, strawberry jam flavour
• Marine Collagen, the one on this page, peach flavour

Common questions

Is the Marine Collagen gummy vegan?

No. It contains marine collagen from fish, so it is the one GUUDIES gummy that is not vegan. It is also unsuitable for anyone with a fish allergy. The other five are vegan.

How much collagen is in each gummy?

200mg of hydrolysed Type I and III marine collagen peptides, plus 100µg of biotin at 200% NRV.

Why marine collagen rather than bovine?

Marine collagen is predominantly Type I, the most abundant collagen type in the human body. Bovine sources tend to carry more Type III and Type II.

What does hydrolysed mean?

The collagen protein has been broken into shorter chains called peptides, which are small enough to be absorbed through the gut wall.

What does it taste like?

Peach. Each of the six gummies in the pouch has its own flavour so you can tell them apart.

Can I take the pouch without this gummy?

Yes. If you need a fully plant based routine, simply leave the Marine Collagen gummy out. The other five are vegan.

Can I take it alongside prescription medication?

Check with your GP or pharmacist first. That applies to any new supplement, particularly if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or on regular medication.
