- What is collagen?
Collagen is a molecule that holds the body's tissues together and is therefore often called the "glue" that holds the body together. Collagen plays a major role in the structure of skin, tendons, blood vessels, cartilage, bones and connective tissue.
- What are the health benefits of collagen?

- What is hydrolyzed collagen peptide?
Collagen peptides are isolated amino acids that are easily processed and used by the body. “Hydrolyzed” simply means that the hydrogen bonds between the molecules have been removed, making the collagen peptides more accessible.
- Is collagen intake safe?
Collagen supplements are generally safe. Pregnant women should not take collagen supplements without consulting a doctor, simply because there is a lack of research proving their safety. It is important to only purchase collagen supplements from brands that can ensure that the supplement is not contaminated or exposed to heavy metals. Those with food allergies should also be careful about where the collagen source comes from.
- How long does it take for collagen to work?
It depends on what you're taking the collagen for. Studies have shown that those taking collagen for joint pain and skin elasticity saw benefits after taking a collagen supplement daily for 4-8 weeks. Like all supplements, collagen is not a miracle cure, but sticking to a daily supplement will yield the best results.
- What is marine collagen?
Marine collagen (i.e., marine collagen) contains type 1 collagen and is usually isolated from fish. This type of collagen is great for making use of any leftover fish processing because the collagen is usually isolated from fish parts that are often discarded. Collagen is not suitable for vegans or strict vegetarians because it is always isolated from animal products. However, marine collagen is not processed from or mixed with collagen derived from pork, so marine collagen is suitable for anyone who does not eat pork.
- How much collagen should you take daily?
Studies have shown that 5-10 g/day of collagen for 6-8 weeks can yield good results.

- What is Feel Iceland?
Feel Iceland is the largest collagen brand in Iceland, known for its high-quality collagen supplements. The company is committed to sustainability and creating clean and effective products. The collagen powder is mainly made from cod liver oil from wild-caught Atlantic cod. The cod liver oil, which is otherwise a by-product of fish processing, is used to create supplements that have a positive effect on people's health.
- What is Feel Iceland collagen made of?
Our collagen is hydrolyzed marine collagen type 1, derived from wild Atlantic cod fish sustainably caught in the icy waters off the coast of Iceland. The fish skin is hydrolyzed, which means it is broken down into smaller molecules to make it easier for the body to absorb. Our collagen contains 18 essential amino acids to maintain skin elasticity, ligaments and bone density.
- Why should I take collagen?
Our body produces collagen in large quantities until the age of 25, after that age the production decreases. In addition, the modern diet of Icelanders does not contain a large amount of collagen, so we get little from our diet itself, which is why it is important to take a collagen supplement. This decreasing production of collagen can lead to two factors in our body:
1. Aging of the body's external appearance in the form of fine lines and wrinkles
2. Problems such as pain and stiffness in the joints
- How much do I need to take to feel a difference?
We recommend 1-2 scoops (5-10 g/day) of the powder for 6-8 weeks and then you should start to feel a difference.
- I use a collagen face cream. Do I also need to take collagen as a dietary supplement through the digestive tract?
When hydrolyzed collagen is taken orally, it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the small intestine, which is much more effective than putting something on the surface of the skin.
- Is collagen intended for oral use by both women and men? And at what age?
Yes, our products can be used by everyone. We recommend that people over the age of 25 use our products. At the age of 25, the body begins to produce less collagen, which is especially true at that age when collagen supplementation is needed. Younger customers such as athletes and people who exercise frequently use our products daily.
- What do the experts say?
Clinical studies have also shown that oral supplementation of hydrolyzed collagen can help reduce joint pain and overall skin health (Feel Iceland Website 2021).
- What is the difference between bovine and marine collagen?
We only use marine collagen, which is made from fish skin that is sustainably caught off the coast of Iceland. In the United States, the most common type of collagen is terrestrial collagen, made from the skins, muscles of cattle, chicken, and pork. Marine animals cannot carry infectious diseases like terrestrial animals often can, which can be transmitted to products from such animals.
