Naticol® Marine Collagen Explained

Reviewed by Gariq Johnson, MSc Human Nutrition. Last reviewed: 2 October 2026.

Naticol® is a branded range of hydrolysed marine collagen peptides produced by Weishardt®. It is used in Creollagen® Unflavoured as the collagen component of the formula.

What is the source?

According to Weishardt, Naticol® is produced from fish skins. The collagen is extracted and purified, then undergoes targeted enzymatic hydrolysis to create collagen peptides. Naticol® is predominantly derived from Type I collagen.

Why does hydrolysis matter?

Native collagen is a very large structural protein. Hydrolysis breaks it into smaller peptide fragments that are easier to incorporate into powders and beverages. The exact peptide profile depends on the manufacturing process, including enzyme selection and hydrolysis conditions.

What does the manufacturer report about quality?

Weishardt states that Naticol® is more than 99% protein on a dry-matter basis and describes controls covering raw-material quality, physico-chemical parameters, bacteriological parameters and contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides and veterinary drug residues.

Those raw-material controls are useful context, but a branded ingredient specification does not remove the need for finished-product quality controls and appropriate batch documentation.

What about health claims?

Ingredient manufacturers may publish research relating to their ingredients, but that does not automatically mean every statement can legally be used as a health claim for a finished food supplement in Great Britain. Commercial claims still need to comply with the Great Britain Nutrition and Health Claims Register and wider food-law requirements.

Each 20 g serving of Creollagen® Unflavoured provides 14.9 g Naticol® marine collagen, 5 g creatine monohydrate and 100 mg vitamin C. The formula has no added flavourings or sweeteners.
