Can marine collagen help to promote weight loss?

Weight loss is a complex topic, as many factors contribute to a healthy metabolism and body composition. However, regularly consuming marine collagen could help to promote weight loss, thanks to its rich content of amino acids (protein). Research suggests that consuming a diet rich in protein increases satiety hormones while suppressing ghrelin, the “hunger” hormone (1). This could contribute to weight loss by promoting fullness and reducing cravings. Muscle - also known as lean body mass - is important to maintain while losing weight, which is why high protein diets are recommended (2). Protein also helps to build, repair, and maintain lean muscle mass, which helps to support a healthy metabolism, as muscle burns more calories at rest, increasing calorie expenditure (3).
