Purpose:
Collagel is a high-quality, fish-based halal collagen gelatin product. It was developed to meet the domestic needs of the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and health industries. Collagel presents a solution as almost all collagen gelatin circulating in Indonesia is still imported, typically derived from pigs or cows with unclear halal status.
This product is also available in ready-to-consume liquid gel form with plain, mint, ginger, and orange variants. Consumers experience benefits for joint health, skin, digestion, better sleep, anti-aging, antioxidants, and even supporting marital harmony.
Advantages:
-
The first halal collagen gelatin produced in Indonesia.
-
Uses high-quality, guaranteed halal fish raw materials.
-
A multifunctional product for industrial needs and direct consumption.
-
Provides health benefits such as improving joints, maintaining skin, and enhancing sleep quality.

-
The result of strategic collaboration between a waqf institution, industry, and a university.
-
A portion of the profits is allocated for charity, including scholarships for FPIK IPB University students.
-
The Collagel factory has obtained halal certification from BPJPH.
