Animal-derived
Depends on Source
Collagen
A structural protein from animal skin/bone; its source determines halal status, just like gelatin.
Why this is a critical point
Collagen is widely used in beauty supplements and health drinks. Like gelatin, it is usually taken from cattle skin or bone (halal if slaughtered correctly) or from pigs (haram). Marine collagen is generally safer since it comes from fish.
Also known as
Collagen, Hydrolyzed collagen, Kolagen bubuk
Commonly found in
Beauty supplements, collagen drinks, skincare products.
Halal alternative
Marine (fish) collagen or halal-certified bovine collagen.
