Ingredient supplier Certified Nutraceuticals has received a patent from the China Intellectual Property Administration for its Type 1, Type 2, and Type 4 hydrolyzed jellyfish collagen and its application. Marketed under the brand KollaJell, the company reports that this is the only form of collagen which contains all 20 essential and nonessential amino acids needed for healthy brain and cognitive function.
 
KollaJell is rich in the amino acids glutamate, glycine, tryptophan, and tyrosine, all of which have particular ties to cognitive function. These amino acids are also precursors for serotonin, GABA, dopamine, and norepinephrine, regulators of mood, energy, and sleep.
 
KollaJell also contains calcium-building proteins, neuroprotective antioxidants, and high amounts of vital macronutrients for brain health not found in other collagen types, the company reports. These include sodium, potassium, phosphorus, chloride, copper, calcium, magnesium, manganese, sulfur, zinc, iron, and silicon.
 
KollaJell is sourced from edible, wild-caught cannonball jellyfish (Stomolophus meleagris) and barrel jellyfish (Rhizostoma pulmo). KollaJell is already protected by a U.S. patent, as well.
 
“KollaJell is a ‘superfood’ for the brain,” Abdul Alkayali, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Certified Nutraceuticals, said. “It is an abundant source of amino acids that enable neurons to communicate with each other. In addition, collagen is a major component of the extracellular matrix, which provides structure for the brain and regulates several fundamental neural processes.”
