1️⃣Pure Fish Collagen Powder: Benefits, Applications & Industry Uses for Skin, Joints, and Wellness
Pure Fish Collagen Powder is a high-purity, hydrolyzed marine collagen peptide ingredient manufactured for dietary supplement, functional food, and cosmetic formulations. Produced from carefully selected fish skin using controlled enzymatic hydrolysis, this ingredient delivers consistent molecular weight distribution, excellent water solubility, and batch-to-batch stability, meeting the technical expectations of professional buyers.
As an experienced fish collagen powder supplier and manufacturer, AIHerba® provides bulk marine collagen peptides with full documentation, including COA, heavy metal analysis, microbial testing, and traceable raw material sourcing. Our production complies with GMP and ISO quality systems, supporting global regulatory and formulation requirements.
This industrial-grade fish collagen is widely used in beauty-from-within supplements, protein blends, collagen beverages, and cosmetic actives, offering reliable performance for large-scale manufacturing and private-label development.
2️⃣ What Is Pure Fish Collagen Powder?
Pure Fish Collagen Powder is a hydrolyzed collagen peptide derived from marine sources, primarily fish skin. Through enzymatic hydrolysis, native collagen is broken down into low-molecular-weight peptides, improving dispersibility, processability, and formulation flexibility.
Unlike native collagen, hydrolyzed fish collagen:
-
Is cold-water soluble
-
Has neutral sensory properties
-
Integrates easily into powders, liquids, and emulsions
-
Is suitable for multi-industry applications
This ingredient is not a finished supplement, but a functional raw material designed for professional formulation and manufacturing.

-
Skin structure and elasticity (nutritional support)
-
Joint and connective tissue nutrition
-
Protein supplementation for active lifestyles
All health positioning should follow local regulatory requirements.
7️⃣ Traditional & Historical Context (Informational)
Marine-derived collagen has long been used in:
-
Traditional food broths
