What to verify

For Collagen (plant-boosters) in this product: is the source plant, fermentation, marine, or land-animal? If animal, which species and was it slaughtered as halal?

What the sources say

Halal. Note: plants cannot produce actual collagen (an animal protein). 'Vegan collagen' refers to collagen-stimulating plant actives, not actual collagen.

Source Dependent Plant extracts that stimulate endogenous collagen production HalalExpo (secondary aggregator · grade C: secondary reference · accessed 2026-08-21)

Kolagen merupakan protein alami yang berasal dari hewan, seperti ikan, sapi, dan babi.

Source-dependent LPPOM MUI treats collagen as an inherently animal protein (fish, cattle, pig); the source animal is the first halal-critical point and the extraction/hydrolysis enzymes (often porcine pepsin) the second. Note: no grade-A or grade-B source was found that recognises plant-derived 'collagen' as collagen at all, so a 'plant collagen is automatically halal' verdict has no primary backing. Quote is Indonesian: 'Collagen is a natural protein originating from animals, such as fish, cattle and pig.'
