Naticol®

What is Naticol®?

Naticol® is a line of bioactive and highly bioavailable marine collagen peptides of natural origin. The peptides are derived from type I collagen, which is also the most abundant collagen in the human body – especially in the skin, joints and connective tissues.
The main benefits of Naticol® are focused on supporting healthy and radiant skin, mobile joints and an active lifestyle.

Origin of Naticol®

Naticol® is extracted from the skin of marine fish and is the result of an advanced technological process that ensures the exceptional purity and natural origin of the ingredient. The enzymatic hydrolysis process creates small collagen peptides that are easily recognized and effectively absorbed by the body. The final product is a white powder with a neutral taste and odor, containing more than 99% protein on a dry basis, making it ideal for everyday use in beverages, supplements and functional foods. Naticol® is not just another collagen - it is a branded active ingredient that the body recognizes, absorbs and uses where you need it most.

Natural marine collagen with clinically proven effectiveness.

The effectiveness of Naticol® collagen is confirmed by numerous scientific and clinical studies conducted in collaboration with international research institutions. These studies include in vitro, in vivo and human clinical testing and demonstrate positive effects on skin, joints, muscles, intestines and general well-being.

Naticol® is one of the few collagens on the market with such a extensive scientific basis.

The science behind Naticol® comes from various studies in the following areas:


  • Nutricosmetics

  • Joint Comfort

  • Healthy Aging

  • Sports Nutrition

  • Intestinal Comfort

Naticol® and skin

Natural marine collagen with clinically proven effectiveness.

The effectiveness of Naticol® collagen is confirmed by numerous scientific and clinical studies conducted in collaboration with international research institutions. These studies include in vitro, in vivo and human clinical testing and demonstrate positive effects on skin, joints, muscles, intestines and general well-being.

Especially for the skin, Naticol® is scientifically proven to:

  • reduces the appearance of wrinkles,

  • improves skin elasticity,

  • contributes to a more uniform and radiant complexion.

These effects are linked to its superior amino acid composition – approximately 50% of Naticol® is represented by glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, which are naturally most commonly found in skin, bones and cartilage. With an advanced, patented hydrolysis process, collagen is broken down into smaller peptides that are easily absorbed by the body and directed to where it is needed most.
