Collagen, explained

A vital protein.
A versatile opportunity.

From structure and strength in nature to a high-demand ingredient across global markets.

01 / The foundation

What is collagen?

Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in animals. It provides strength and support to skin, connective tissues, bones and other biological structures.

Commercial collagen can be sourced from bovine, porcine and marine materials. Fish skin is a particularly valuable marine source, turning a material from seafood processing into an ingredient with wide commercial potential.
