Formulating Bioavailable Liquid Marine Collagen Ft. Fat Mermaid — E.792
In this episode, host Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Theresa Plavoukos, the visionary behind Fat Mermaid, a marine-collagen supplement redefining how we think about inner beauty and bioavailability. Teresa brings more than 25 years of beauty-industry expertise — from L’Oréal and Estée Lauder to luxury fragrance development — and now channels that deep knowledge into a single mission: making collagen supplementation both efficacious and enjoyable.
A Career Built on Beauty Science
Theresa began in advertising on the L’Oréal account and never left the beauty world, rising through senior product roles at L’Oréal and Estée Lauder before a decade in luxury fragrance. Later, she helped indie founders turn ideas into thriving brands, mastering every stage of product development — from lab work and ingredient sourcing to global distribution. That experience inspired her to create a supplement line that merges rigorous clinical standards with the fun, approachable vibe of modern beauty.
Solving the Collagen Conundrum
A longtime collagen user herself, Theresa wanted a product that was more effective and easier to take than traditional powders. After a year and a half of research and PubMed deep dives, she landed on liquid marine collagen — the most bioavailable form for hair, skin, and nails. Marine collagen’s low molecular weight and liquid format mean it absorbs quickly and completely, unlike many powdered or bovine formulas that the body struggles to break down.
Why “Fat Mermaid”?
The playful name captures the brand’s essence: lush, healthy hair, strong nails, glowing skin — like a mermaid thriving in a nutrient-rich sea. Theresa pairs that whimsical branding with serious science, ensuring every batch is produced in an FDA-inspected, GMP-certified facility and third-party tested for purity, heavy metals, and amino acid profile transparency.
A Supplement That Fits Your Life
Fat Mermaid’s collagen is unflavored and versatile, designed to slip effortlessly into coffee, smoothies, yogurt, or even be taken as a one-ounce shot. A built-in dosing cup makes it simple, eliminating the messy, inconsistent experience of powdered collagen and ensuring you get the clinically recommended dose — without wasted product or guesswork.
