COLLAWISE® compared to Marine Collagen
- Most collagen products are animal-derived, leaving a gap for vegan consumers. COLLAWISE® bridges that gap.
- COLLAWISE® offers a heat-stable, clinically studied, vegan alternative that delivers anti-aging benefits at a lower dosage than marine collagen, making it a more efficient and sustainable solution.
What is COLLAWISE®?
COLLAWISE® is a certified vegan collagen ingredient produced through precision fermentation using a well-characterized strain of Pichia pastoris. Unlike traditional collagen sourced from animal hides or marine byproducts, COLLAWISE® delivers a true collagen protein without any animal-derived raw materials, making it a first-of-its-kind ingredient for beauty-from-within, skin health, and healthy aging applications.
Is COLLAWISE® truly collagen, or is it a collagen booster?
COLLAWISE® is true collagen, not a collagen booster. Most products marketed as collagen boosters contain supporting nutrients such as vitamin C, amino acids, or botanical extracts that help stimulate the body’s own collagen production. COLLAWISE® is different. It is an actual collagen protein produced through advanced biofermentation technology, delivering collagen directly without relying on animal hides, bones, or marine byproducts.
How is COLLAWISE® made?
COLLAWISE® is produced through advanced biofermentation, expressing a carefully selected human Type III collagen sequence in a well-characterized fermentation yeast (Pichia pastoris) and then purifying it into a finished collagen ingredient. The protein preserves the key structural repeat units that define collagen biology while offering improved water solubility, consistent composition, and a fully animal-free production process that is more sustainable and scalable than traditional collagen extraction.
Is COLLAWISE® clinically-studied?
Yes, COLLAWISE® demonstrated meaningful improvements in skin elasticity, hydration, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in a clinical study at doses as low as 200–350 mg per day. These results were comparable or superior to 5g of fish collagen, making COLLAWISE® one of the most dose-efficient collagen ingredients available for beauty-from-within formulations.
Is COLLAWISE® water soluble?
Yes. COLLAWISE® dissolves cleanly into a clear solution across both cold and ambient liquid formats, making it ideal for RTM powders, RTD beverages, liquid shots, and other beauty-from-within applications. Unlike traditional collagens that can cloud, clump, or affect mouthfeel, it performs consistently without compromising sensory experience.
How is COLLAWISE® different from marine, bovine, or porcine collagen?
Traditional collagen carries inherent limitations around allergens, dietary restrictions, and supply chain variability. COLLAWISE® eliminates them, delivering certified vegan Type III collagen via precision fermentation with no animal-derived materials and a consistent, scalable supply chain. It is water soluble, forms a clear solution in RTM and RTD formats, and is clinically effective at just 350 mg, with results comparable or superior to 5 g of fish collagen across key skin aging parameters.
What certifications and regulatory support are available for COLLAWISE®?
COLLAWISE® is SA-GRAS for food use in the U.S. and carries a strong certifications portfolio, including Vegan Certified, IGEN Non-GMO Tested, Halal, Gluten-Free, and Allergen-Free. These credentials support clean-label positioning and broad market access across conventional, natural, and specialty retail channels.
What is precision fermentation, and why does it matter for COLLAWISE®?
Precision fermentation uses microorganisms to express specific proteins in a controlled, repeatable environment. For COLLAWISE®, a well-characterized yeast strain (Pichia pastoris) produces a true human Type III collagen sequence with no animal-derived materials, eliminating the allergen, sustainability, and supply chain limitations of traditional collagen extraction.
