FAQ
About
What is Fat Mermaid Bio-Available Liquid Marine Collagen?
Fat Mermaid Bio-Available Liquid Marine Collagen is a premium supplement derived from European coldwater, sustainably sourced fish. Unlike powder alternatives, our liquid formula is designed for maximum bioavailability, allowing your body to absorb and utilize the collagen efficiently for improved skin elasticity, stronger hair, lashes, nails, and radiant skin.
What makes liquid collagen better than powder?
Liquid collagen is superior to powder in several ways:
- Higher bioavailability (up to 98% absorption compared to 30-40% in powders)
- No mixing required, eliminating clumping and dissolution issues
- Precise dosing with every serving
- Convenient consumption without preparation
- Faster results due to enhanced absorption
- Better taste and texture for daily enjoyment
What type of collagen is in your product?
Our product primarily contains Type I collagen, the most abundant type in the human body and essential for skin, hair, nails, bones, and connective tissues. Marine collagen is almost exclusively Type I collagen, making it ideal for beauty and anti-aging benefits.
Is Fat Mermaid collagen sustainably sourced?
Absolutely! We source our marine collagen exclusively from MSC-certified sustainable fisheries. Our production utilizes fish skin that would otherwise be discarded, creating a sustainable, upcycled product that reduces waste and supports ocean health.
Fat Mermaid Bio-Available Liquid Marine Collagen is produced in a cGMP-certified facility that has undergone FDA onsite inspection.
Usage & Benefits
How much should I take daily?
We recommend 1-2servings (15-30mL) daily for optimal results. You can drink it straight (like a shot) or mix it with your favorite beverage or healthy snack. For enhanced results, some customers choose to take two servings daily—one in the morning and one in the evening.
When will I start seeing results?
Most customers report noticeable improvements in skin hydration and texture within 2-4 weeks of consistent use. More significant results for skin elasticity, wrinkle reduction, and hair/nail strength typically become evident after 8-12 weeks of daily supplementation.
How does marine collagen benefit my skin?
Marine collagen supports skin health by:
- Improving hydration and moisture retention
- Enhancing elasticity and firmness
- Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Supporting the skin's natural repair processes
- Promoting a more even complexion and refined texture
Can Fat Mermaid collagen help with joint pain?
Yes! While many customers initially try our collagen for beauty benefits, they often report improvements in joint comfort and mobility. Type I collagen is a major component of cartilage, tendons, and ligaments, helping to support joint health and reduce discomfort associated with aging.

Science & Formulation
How is liquid collagen different from other forms?
Liquid collagen is pre-dissolved and hydrolyzed into peptides for immediate absorption. This eliminates the need for your digestive system to break down and dissolve the collagen before it can be utilized, resulting in significantly higher bioavailability compared to powders and capsules.
What other ingredients are in your formula?
Besides premium marine collagen peptides, our formula contains:
- Vitamin C (to enhance collagen synthesis)
- Hyaluronic Acid (for added skin hydration)
Is your collagen tested for heavy metals and contaminants?
Yes, we rigorously test every batch for purity and safety. Our marine collagen undergoes comprehensive testing for heavy metals, microbiological contaminants, and other pollutants to ensure the highest quality and safety standards.
Fat Mermaid Bio-Available Liquid Marine Collagen is produced in a cGMP-certified facility that has undergone FDA onsite inspection.
What is the molecular weight of your collagen peptides?
Our marine collagen peptides have an average molecular weight of 2000-5000 Daltons, which is the optimal range for maximum bioavailability and absorption. This low molecular weight allows the peptides to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
