BioCell Collagen, a dietary supplement ingredient containing hydrolyzed collagen type II peptides, hyaluronic acid, and chondroitin sulfate, has been halal certified by the Islamic Information Documentation and Certification GmbH (IIDC). This certification is accepted in nearly all Islamic countries, expanding the global reach of the collagen ingredient.
 
“The halal product category is growing, and more consumers are looking for the IIDC halal symbol as it affirms the product’s commitment to safety and health,” said Mohammed Ishaq, CEO of BioCell Technology. “It’s important to us to reach and serve those who seek halal-certified products, and BioCell Collagen meets those strict standards.”
 
BioCell collagen is produced according to halal standards, and all aspects of production are permissible according to Islamic law, IIDC concluded.
 
The ingredient, which has been the subject of seven human clinical trials over a decade of research, is supported for its potential to improve the degradation of connective tissue and associated age-related loss of structurally-essential molecules. Studies suggest that BioCell Collagen can combat visible signs of aging, including wrinkles, fine lines, and crow’s feet, while providing internal support for healthy connective tissues and joints, the company reports.  
 
“With this new specification, we can look forward to supporting more consumers who want more youthful-looking skin, active joints, and healthy connective tissue as they incorporate BioCell Collagen into their daily supplement and nutrition routines,” said Ishaq.
 
BioCell Collagen is available for standalone ingredient products or as a primary ingredient in hundreds of formulations from dietary supplement brands.
