Marine collagen
from fish bone
The first of its kind.
Every marine collagen on the market is derived from fish skin. We've developed proprietary technology to extract collagen peptides from wild-caught fish bone – delivering a richer collagen profile, natural mineral synergy, and a fundamentally cleaner source.
The difference
Why fish bone matters
Richer collagen profile
Fish bone contains collagen types I, VI, XI, and XXII – a diversity that fish skin simply cannot provide. These specialized types work in concert to support joint integrity, bone structure, and connective tissue health.

Natural mineral synergy
Fish bone naturally combines collagen with calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Research shows these minerals are significantly more effective at strengthening bone when delivered together with collagen peptides.

Cleaner source
Wild-caught, fully traceable, and free from any land animal. Halal, kosher, and pescatarian friendly – without the BSE risk and contamination concerns associated with bovine collagen.

The science behind it
Fish bone collagen isn't just different in origin – it's different in how it works. Here's what the research shows.
Superior absorption
Marine collagen peptides are absorbed up to 1.5 times more efficiently than bovine collagen, reaching target tissues faster and at higher concentrations.
Enhanced calcium uptake
Fish bone collagen contains unique calcium-chelating peptides that can enhance intestinal calcium absorption by up to 200% – a mechanism entirely absent in skin-derived collagen.
Dual-action bone support
The peptides stimulate bone-building cells while simultaneously suppressing bone-degrading cells – actively shifting the balance toward bone formation and increased mineral density.
More than an ingredient. A better source.
Use cases
Target applications
Our collagen peptides integrate seamlessly into a wide range of supplement and functional food formats.
Joint health
Supplements targeting mobility, flexibility, and joint comfort.
Bone health
Formulations for bone mineral density and osteoporosis prevention.
Beauty from within
Nutricosmetics for skin hydration, elasticity, and anti-aging.
Sports nutrition
Recovery supplements for connective tissue repair and athletic performance.
Functional beverages
Protein-enriched drinks and ready-to-mix powder formats.
Circular economy
From sidestream
to solution
We process underutilized, high-value marine sidestreams into premium collagen peptides. Every batch starts with fish bone that would otherwise go to waste – turning a byproduct of the fishing industry into a traceable, high-performance ingredient.

About us
A Danish biotech startup
We're a Danish biotech company developing proprietary processing technology to extract collagen from fish bone – something the industry hasn't done at scale before.
We believe great partnerships start with a conversation. We'd love to show you our process, walk you through the science, and explore how fish bone collagen fits your product line.
