Morikol® Marine Collagen – Clinically proven, low-dose, formulation-ready

ACI Group, in partnership with DolCas Biotech, supplies Morikol®, a clinically proven marine collagen hydrolysate enriched in tripeptides, to UK formulators and manufacturers. Morikol® delivers precision, efficacy, and convenience for modern wellness formulations.

Key Benefits:

  • Clinically proven efficacy at ultra-low doses (1–2g/day)

  • Clean-label, traceable, and sustainable sourcing

  • Flexible formulation options across food, beverage, and nutraceutical products

  • High concentration of Gly-Pro-Hyp (GPH) tripeptides for skin, joint, and connective tissue health

Formats include (but not limited to): capsules, powders, RTDs, gummies, bars, stick packs, and chocolate applications.

Precision over volume: Low-dose, high-impact collagen

Traditional collagen supplements often require 5–15g per serving to see visible results. Morikol® challenges the high-dose approach, using scientifically validated bioactive tripeptides to deliver measurable results at fraction of the dose.

Clinical highlights:

Benefit AreaDoseOutcome
Skin Hydration & Elasticity1g/dayNoticeable improvement in 6 weeks; 10.5× greater wrinkle reduction vs placebo at 12 weeks
Joint Comfort & Mobility2g/dayReduced stiffness, improved flexibility, and range of motion over 10 weeks

How it works:

  • Low molecular weight (~300 Da) tripeptides, of which Morikol® is enriched, are absorbed directly into the bloodstream

  • Stimulates collagen synthesis, hyaluronic acid, and ceramide production

  • Enables smaller serving sizes, simplified SKUs, and consumer-friendly formulations

Why Marine Collagen is the future

Morikol® delivers a clean, high-performance marine collagen solution:

  • Superior bioavailability - faster, more efficient absorption than standard hydrolysed collagen

  • Clean-label credentials - non-GMO, halal & kosher certified, Prop 65 compliant

  • Sustainable sourcing - traceable, environmentally conscious fish-derived collagen

  • Low-dose efficiency - ideal for capsules, powders, RTDs, gummies, bars, and more

Marine collagen is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7% through 2030, positioning it as a premium, future-proof ingredient for wellness, beauty, and functional products.

Formulation advantages:

  • Neutral taste and solubility - disperses evenly in hot or cold liquids without gritty texture

  • Low-dose, high-impact - 1–2g/day efficacy reduces ingredient costs and simplifies SKUs

  • Formula stability - high batch-to-batch consistency ensures compatibility with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants
