Why We Source Marine Collagen From Wild Fisheries, Not Farms

We chose wild-caught sourcing because it let us answer more questions honestly, not fewer. Every additional step in a supply chain—a feed formulation, a farming facility, a processing intermediary—is one more thing a brand either discloses clearly or quietly leaves out.

Fewer variables, not zero variables

Wild fisheries are not automatically simple. Catch method, region, and season all matter. But the variables are ones we can name, document, and test for—rather than inheriting whatever was in a farmed fish's feed or water without a clear line of sight into it.

What we ask of a source before it goes in the jar

• Wild-caught origin we can name, not just claim
• A processing chain short enough to actually trace
• Independent, batch-level testing for identity, purity, and heavy metals

None of this is a claim that wild-caught collagen works better in your body than farmed collagen—we are not making that comparison. It is a claim about what we can verify and stand behind, which is the bar we think sourcing should be held to. In practice that means deep-sea species like cod, haddock, and pollock, caught from certified wild fisheries rather than farmed—which also rules out any exposure risk from farm antibiotics or hormones, and comes with a meaningfully smaller carbon footprint than land-farmed animal collagen sources.
