Wild-caught fish produce superior quality collagen compared to farmed fish due to their natural diet and active lifestyle. Swimming freely in ocean waters, wild fish develop stronger muscle structures and higher protein concentrations, resulting in more potent collagen peptides. Their varied, natural diet is rich in essential nutrients that enhance collagen quality, whilst farmed fish often consume artificial feed. Additionally, wild-caught fish, especially those with MSC certification like our source, are harvested sustainably from clean ocean waters, ensuring they're free from antibiotics and growth hormones commonly used in fish farming. This natural approach aligns with our commitment to delivering premium, pure marine collagen for optimal beauty benefits.

All our collagen products come from fish caught in the North Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.

Tide collagen is made using the skin from Cod (Gadus morhua), Haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus), Saithe (Pollachius virens), Pacific Cod (Gadus macrocephalus) and Alaska Pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus).

Absolutely not. Our collagen is free from artificial additives ensuring purity and high quality. The product is produced to the highest standards according to EU regulation 852/2004, 853/2004 – with EU 2016/355 amending Annex III and 854/2004.

Yes, scientific research consistently shows that 2.5g to 5g of marine collagen daily is the optimal range for visible benefits. Our carefully calibrated 3.5g dosage sits perfectly within this scientifically-backed sweet spot. Clinical studies demonstrate that this amount, when taken consistently, supports skin elasticity, hydration, and collagen synthesis. Marine collagen is particularly effective at this dosage due to its superior bioavailability and smaller peptide size, allowing for better absorption compared to other collagen types. Each can of Tide delivers precisely 3.5g of premium marine collagen - the ideal daily amount to support your skin's natural beauty without unnecessary excess.

Yes, our collagen water is gluten free.

If you have a fish or shellfish allergy you should not consume collagen or our collagen water. If you have any specific dietary requirements you should seek the advice of a trained doctor or dietician before you try collagen water. If you are pregnant you must seek the advice of a trained doctor before taking collagen. 

Collagen can be consumed at any time of day, as your body efficiently processes it whenever you drink it. However, for optimal absorption, many experts recommend taking collagen on an empty stomach, either 30 minutes before meals or first thing in the morning. This timing can enhance the absorption of collagen peptides into your bloodstream. The beauty of Tide collagen water is its convenience - you can enjoy it chilled as a refreshing morning ritual, as an afternoon pick-me-up, or post-workout refreshment. The key to seeing results isn't about perfect timing - it's about consistency in your daily collagen intake.

Marine collagen offers superior benefits due to its exceptional bioavailability and smaller peptide size. The key advantages include improved skin elasticity and hydration, reduced appearance of fine lines, and supported collagen production. It also promotes stronger hair and nails, whilst supporting joint health and mobility. Marine collagen stands out from other sources because it's Type I collagen - the most abundant form in human skin. Being sustainably sourced from wild-caught fish, it's not only highly effective but also environmentally conscious. Additionally, marine collagen is easily digestible and rapidly absorbed by the body, making it more efficient than bovine or porcine alternatives.

Clinical studies show that consistent daily collagen supplementation typically yields visible results within 4-8 weeks. Most people report noticing improved skin hydration and texture within the first month, whilst more significant benefits like enhanced skin elasticity and reduced fine lines become apparent after 8-12 weeks of regular use. The key is consistency - drinking your daily Tide collagen water (3.5g of marine collagen) creates a cumulative effect that supports your body's natural collagen production. Individual results may vary based on factors like age, lifestyle, and overall health, but maintaining a daily collagen routine is crucial for achieving optimal results.
