Why Choose Vitadefence Marine Collagen Multi with Added Botanicals?

14 - Frequently Asked Questions
How long before I see results? Collagen supplementation is not an overnight solution. Take it daily as on the label.
Can I take this with other supplements? Generally yes, but be mindful of total nutrient intake if you're taking multiple supplements. The biotin content is quite high (440% NRV), so check other supplements to avoid excessive intake.
Why only 400mg of collagen when some products contain 5000mg+? Our formula prioritizes quality over quantity. We've included collagen alongside essential cofactors (vitamin C, zinc, copper) and complementary nutrients that support your body's own collagen production and maintenance—a more comprehensive approach than collagen alone.
Is marine collagen better than bovine? Marine collagen is predominantly Type I (the most abundant type in human skin), while bovine contains both Type I and Type III.
Can vegetarians or vegans take this? No, this product contains marine collagen from fish and is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
Will this help with joint health? While Type II collagen is typically associated with joint support, Type I collagen is also found in bones, tendons, and ligaments. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of bones and cartilage.
Can I open the capsules? While capsules are designed to be swallowed whole, you can open them and mix the contents with food or drinks if necessary. However, the taste may not be pleasant.
Why take with meals? Taking with meals, especially those containing healthy fats, may support absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins (E) in the formula. It may also be gentler on the stomach.

- Protect your skin - Use sun protection to prevent collagen breakdown
- Get adequate sleep - Your body repairs and regenerates during sleep

- Stated doses - the amount of each ingredient is on the label.

20 - Your Journey to Better Health
Whether you're in your 20s being proactive about aging, in your 40s noticing the first signs of collagen loss, or beyond and looking for comprehensive support, our Marine Collagen Multi offers a science-informed approach to supplementation.
