Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides
We offer hydrolysed fish and bovine collagen peptides. Hydrolysed fish collagen peptide is manufactured using the scales of aquaculture fish varieties – Labeo Rohita (commonly called as Rohu) and Labeo Catla (commonly called as Catla). Annually, India processes 14.4 million tonnes of aquaculture fish. Collagen Peptides manufactured using aquaculture origin raw material presents a very huge opportunity in upcycling value chain of fish leftovers.
Hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides are manufactured from the hides of grass fed buffaloes. India is known for having only grass fed cattle and has also been accorded NEGLIGIBLE BSE STATUS. Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) is commonly known as mad cow disease and is a major concern for buyers when buying bovine collagen or gelatin.
The hydrolysed collagen peptides we offer are completely neutral in taste and smell. The collagen peptides contain more than 90% protein. It contains 19 Amino acids with highest concentration Glycine, Proline, Glutamic Acid, Alanine, Arginine, and Hydroxyproline.

Frequently asked questions
How is IKIGEN collagen peptide manufactured from freshwater fish scales?
Fish scales are cleaned, dried and treated with enzymes and are subjected to demineralisation. Demineralised fish scales are called Ossein. Collagen peptides are further extracted from Ossein through a hydrolysis process.
Is IKIGEN collagen tested for contaminants?
Yes, IKIGEN collagen peptides obtained from freshwater fish scales is tested for contaminants such as heavy metals, bleaching agent, anti-caking agents and microbial impurities to ensure safety and quality.
How long does it take to experience the effects of collagen peptides?
The effects of collagen peptides on individuals can vary depending on various factors. It is recommended to consume collagen peptides consistently for 4 to 6 weeks to experience noticeable improvements in skin and joints healths, increase is hair and nails growth.

How is chitosan obtained from shrimp heads and shells?
Chitosan is extracted from shrimp heads and shells through a multi-step process that includes deproteinization , demineralization and deacetylation. Deacetylation is the process of removing acetyl groups from chitin to produce chitosan . Chitosan can be made into powder or flakes.
Bio-availability of collagen peptide
Using fish as a superior alternative to bovine, porcine and chicken collagen, IKIGEN is characterized by its low molecular weight resulting in improved digestibility and superb bioavailability.
Our product is the result of a complex and controlled hydrolysis process to obtain premium collagen peptides that are highly soluble. Collagen can be added to water and beverages.
