Collagen is one supplement where halal status deserves a closer look, because it's made from animals. About 41% of the collagen and gelatin produced commercially worldwide comes from pigs,^[1] so where the collagen comes from, how it's made and who certified it all matter. Here's which of our products are halal certified and by whom, what that certification covers, how to check any collagen product yourself, and how our halal-certified collagens compare.

Which of our products are halal certified?

Twelve of our products are halal certified, by two recognised Islamic certification bodies. Here is the full list, grouped by certifier.^[2]

Taiwan Halal Integrity Development Association (THIDA)

• Collagen Glow Berries
• Collagen Glow Berries Mini (available on our Malaysia store)
• Sicilian Orange Slimming Elixir
• Feminine Care Pre+Probiotic Melts Halal
• Daily Pre+Probiotic Melts Halal
• Daily Pre+Probiotic Melts Kids
• Liver Guard Pre+Probiotic Melts

Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM)

• Marine Collagen Peptides
• Marine Collagen Peptides Matcha
• Grapefruit & Kombucha Slimming Blend
• Hormone Harmony
• Herbal Harmony: Meno Rebalance

Three more things are good to know:

• No porcine ingredients. All our products are free from porcine-derived ingredients.^[2]
• The halal logo on the pack. Some certified products are still in packaging that doesn't show the halal logo yet. These products are halal certified all the same.^[2]
• More to come. We're working to certify more of our range, and we update our certified list as each new certification is approved.^[2]

What makes a collagen supplement halal?

A collagen supplement is halal when the collagen comes from a halal source, it's made without any contact with non-halal substances, and a recognised halal certification body has checked both. Here's what each of those means.

• The source. Collagen supplements are made from the skin, bones or scales of animals, such as cows, pigs and fish.^[3] The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) lists swine, including pork and lard, as non-halal. A processed product is only halal if it contains nothing from non-halal animals, or from animals that were not slaughtered according to Shariah law.^[4] So collagen from cows or other land animals is only halal if the animal is halal and was slaughtered in the Islamic way. Fish is not in any of MUIS's non-halal food categories.^[4]
• The processing. Before collagen goes into a supplement, it is broken down with enzymes into small peptides.^[3] MUIS sets out that a halal product must contain nothing non-halal in large or small amounts, must be made with equipment and facilities free from cross-mixing with non-halal substances, and must be kept fully separate from non-halal food during preparation, processing, storage and transport.^[4]
• The certifier. A halal certification body checks the product against these standards and issues the certificate. MUIS does not certify food products manufactured overseas. Halal products imported into Singapore are certified instead by foreign halal certification bodies that MUIS recognises, based on their ability to apply halal standards that align with the Singapore MUIS Halal Standards.^[5]

That's why our halal-certified products carry THIDA or JAKIM certification rather than a MUIS certificate. Our products are made by production partners in Taiwan and Malaysia:^[2] Collagen Glow Berries and Collagen Glow Berries Mini in Taiwan, and Marine Collagen Peptides and Marine Collagen Peptides Matcha in Malaysia. Both certifiers are on MUIS's list of recognised foreign halal certification bodies. THIDA is recognised until 14 January 2029, and JAKIM is listed as a state halal authority.^[6] MUIS keeps this list so that Muslims in Singapore have access to suitable halal-certified imported products.^[5]

How can you check that a collagen product is halal?

Look past the logo to the certifier behind it, then check that the certifier is recognised and that the certificate covers the exact product you're buying. These six steps work for any collagen product.

1. Find the certifier's name. A halal claim should name the body that certified it, on the pack, the product page or the company's own website. A logo with no named certifier gives you nothing to check.
2. Check that MUIS recognises the certifier. For a product made overseas, look for the certifier on MUIS's list of recognised foreign halal certification bodies, which you can search by name or country.^[6]
3. Check that the certificate covers the exact product. Certification is given product by product, and certifiers list each product by name and flavour, so look for the version you're buying.^[7]
4. Look it up with the certifier. Some certifiers publish what they certify. JAKIM's Halal Malaysia Portal has a "Verify Halal Status" search, where you can look up a product or company by name.^[7]
5. Read the ingredient list. Check what the collagen is made from. "Fish" or "marine" tells you the source, while a label that only says "collagen" or "gelatin" leaves the source unstated.
6. Ask the company that makes it. A company that holds a halal certificate can tell you who issued it and which products it covers.

You can try step 4 with our own products. Search "Purest" under Verify Halal Status on the Halal Malaysia Portal, and you'll find Marine Collagen Peptides and Marine Collagen Peptides Matcha listed under our brand and valid until 15 June 2028, alongside Grapefruit & Kombucha Slimming Blend, Hormone Harmony and Herbal Harmony: Meno Rebalance.^[7] For our THIDA-certified products, including Collagen Glow Berries, our Customer Experience team is happy to help with any question about a specific product's certification.^[2]

Which of our halal-certified collagens should you choose?

Choose by format and dose. All four are halal-certified marine collagens with Types I and III, and each gives you a daily amount within the 2.5 to 10 g a day used in skin trials. A systematic review of these trials found that oral collagen supplements increase skin elasticity, hydration and dermal collagen density.^[8]

• Collagen Glow Berries has the highest dose of the four: 6,000 mg of Wellnex marine collagen dipeptide, made by enzymatic hydrolysis, with glycine, proline and hydroxyproline in a 3:1:1 ratio. Tear the sachet and drink, wherever you are.
• Collagen Glow Berries Mini gives you 2,500 mg of the same Wellnex marine collagen dipeptide in a smaller 15 g sachet, for a lighter daily amount or for travel.
• Marine Collagen Peptides suits you if you like to mix your own drink. The collagen is hydrolysed to an average size under 3 kDa (kilodaltons, a measure of molecular size), smaller than the 3 to 6 kDa typical of hydrolysed collagen.^[3] Jessie, our Product Manager, explains why we chose Norwegian cod in talking formulation: Marine Collagen Peptides.
• Marine Collagen Peptides Matcha gives you the same 5,000 mg of cod collagen with 3,000 mg of Japanese matcha, for a matcha-flavoured collagen drink. It contains natural caffeine from the matcha, and milk.

All four contain fish. Marine Collagen Peptides and Marine Collagen Peptides Matcha are made on equipment that also processes gluten, milk, soy, nuts, sesame seed and sulphur dioxide.

How should you take them?

Take one serving a day, at the time each product is designed for, and take it every day. Our product guide has how to take and store every product.

• Collagen Glow Berries: 1 sachet a day, before breakfast or at bedtime, on an empty stomach. Tear it open and drink it straight from the sachet. For best results, take it every day for at least 3 months. For children, our directions suggest half a sachet; check with your child's doctor first.
• Collagen Glow Berries Mini: 1 sachet a day, before breakfast or at bedtime, with nothing to mix.
• Marine Collagen Peptides: 1 scoop (10 g) a day in 300 to 350 ml of water, before breakfast or before bed. Add the powder first, then the water, and it dissolves more easily. Results are best seen after 1 to 2 months of daily use.
• Marine Collagen Peptides Matcha: 1 scoop (13 g) a day, shaken with 150 ml of water, before or after a meal. It's best in the morning or afternoon.

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have a medical condition, check with your doctor first, as each label advises.

Collagen Glow Berries gives you 6,000 mg of Wellnex marine collagen dipeptide from tilapia in every ready-to-drink sachet, with 250 mg of vitamin C and 100 mg of bilberry extract. It's halal certified by the Taiwan Halal Integrity Development Association, and free from dairy, gluten, soy and nuts.

Frequently asked questions

Is The Purest Co halal certified by MUIS?
Our products are made by production partners in Taiwan and Malaysia, and MUIS does not certify food products manufactured overseas. Instead, our 12 halal-certified products are certified by the Taiwan Halal Integrity Development Association and by JAKIM, the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia. Both are on MUIS's list of recognised foreign halal certification bodies, which certify halal products imported into Singapore.

Is Collagen Glow Berries halal?
Yes. Collagen Glow Berries is halal certified by the Taiwan Halal Integrity Development Association, a certifier MUIS recognises. The collagen is Wellnex marine collagen dipeptide from tilapia, and like all our products, Collagen Glow Berries is free from porcine-derived ingredients. Some packs don't show the halal logo yet, and the product inside is certified all the same.

Are collagen peptides halal?
Collagen peptides are halal when the collagen comes from a halal source and is made without contact with non-halal substances, so check for a halal certificate rather than going by the name. Hydrolysis breaks collagen into smaller pieces but doesn't change where the collagen came from. Marine Collagen Peptides and Marine Collagen Peptides Matcha are halal certified by JAKIM, with 5,000 mg of collagen peptides from wild-caught Norwegian cod in every scoop.

What is the best halal collagen in Singapore?
Look for a halal certificate from a body MUIS recognises, a daily dose within the 2.5 to 10 g a day used in skin trials, and a format you'll take every day. Collagen Glow Berries gives you 6,000 mg of marine collagen dipeptide in a ready-to-drink sachet, certified by the Taiwan Halal Integrity Development Association. If you prefer a powder, Marine Collagen Peptides gives you 5,000 mg in every scoop, certified by JAKIM.

Are your Pre+Probiotic Melts halal?
Four of our Pre+Probiotic Melts are halal certified by the Taiwan Halal Integrity Development Association: Feminine Care Pre+Probiotic Melts Halal, Daily Pre+Probiotic Melts Halal, Daily Pre+Probiotic Melts Kids and Liver Guard Pre+Probiotic Melts. For women, Feminine Care Pre+Probiotic Melts Halal gives you 5 billion CFUs of 3 patented probiotic strains with cranberry and roselle extracts, in a strawberry melt.
