Peptide Foundry is a private label manufacturer of marine collagen peptides: hydrolyzed Type I fish collagen sold as a dietary supplement under your brand, in powders, capsules, and stick-packs. We produce in cGMP-certified, FDA-registered facilities with a Certificate of Analysis on every batch, from a 500-unit minimum order per SKU. Marine collagen is non-bovine and pescatarian-friendly, positioned with DSHEA structure and function claims such as supports skin elasticity.

Marine collagen is collagen sourced from fish rather than cattle. In supplements it is used as hydrolyzed collagen, also called collagen peptides: collagen broken down by controlled enzymatic hydrolysis into short peptides, manufactured to a target molecular weight of roughly 2,000 to 5,000 daltons so it dissolves cleanly and is easy to formulate. Fish skin and scales yield predominantly Type I collagen, the type most associated with skin.
Its appeal to brands is positioning. Marine collagen is non-bovine, which makes it pescatarian-friendly and a fit for brands that want to avoid bovine or porcine sources for dietary or cultural reasons. It is the same dietary-supplement lane as bovine collagen peptides, with a different origin story on the label.
We manufacture finished, retail-ready marine collagen supplements under your brand across the formats the category actually sells in. Hydrolyzed marine collagen is effectively flavorless and dissolves easily, so it works in both dry and drink formats.
We help you choose a format and dose that fit your positioning and price point, then produce it with full documentation. Because marine collagen is a fish-derived ingredient, every product carries the required fish-allergen declaration on the label.
Collagen peptides are one of the few peptides that can be sold as an ingested dietary supplement, and that lane comes with its own rulebook: DSHEA. You may make structure and function claims, describing how the product supports a normal structure or function of the body, such as supports skin elasticity, supports healthy hair, skin, and nails, or supports joint comfort. Any such claim must appear with the FDA disclaimer shown below and a Supplement Facts panel.
What you may not do is make a disease claim. Treats, cures, prevents, or reverses any condition, including phrases like treats aging or heals joints, turns a supplement into an unapproved drug. Collagen peptides sit cleanly on the supplement side of that line, which is exactly why they are a sellable peptide category, and we keep your copy there.
The allergen rule is not optional. Fish is one of the major food allergens named under FALCPA, so a marine collagen product must declare fish on the label, typically as Contains: Fish. We build that declaration in from the start rather than catching it at artwork.
Every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis and is produced in cGMP-certified, FDA-registered facilities with full batch traceability. For a food-grade hydrolysate the COA documents identity and the specification your buyers expect, so a retailer or marketplace can onboard the product without chasing paperwork.
Verification is the baseline here, not a premium tier, because a collagen supplement that cannot document what is in the tub is not a product we would put your name on.
The minimum order is 500 units per SKU, deliberately low so you can launch a marine collagen line with a full Certificate of Analysis included, without committing to a warehouse of inventory.
Samples are $150 each, plus $20 per additional SKU, produced in 10 to 14 days and shipped by UPS in 3 to 5 days. Priced quotes come back within 48 hours. Full production runs in 30 to 40 days from approval on 50/50 payment terms, and most brands go from brief to retail-ready in 4 to 8 weeks.
We manufacture across the full compliant peptide spectrum, cosmetic actives and collagen peptides, with research-grade material gated to laboratories. That means a brand can run a marine collagen supplement and a peptide skincare line with one partner, one set of documentation standards, and one compliance posture.
You get one partner from source to shelf: the hydrolysate, the format, the fill, the finished pack with its allergen declaration, and the paperwork, all under one roof and all documented.

The market and the clinical evidence behind a hydrolyzed collagen line. Each figure is attributed to its named source; collagen firms measure different scopes, so we never blend them.
The hydrolyzed collagen market was about $2.72B in 2025 and is forecast to reach $7.58B by 2034, a roughly 12.06% annual rate, with skin and beauty the leading use case.

Marine collagen is sourced from fish rather than cattle, which makes it non-bovine and pescatarian-friendly, and it is predominantly Type I collagen. Both are hydrolyzed collagen peptides sold as dietary supplements under DSHEA; the difference is the source on the label.
Yes. Fish is a major food allergen under FALCPA, so every marine collagen product declares fish on the label, typically as Contains: Fish. We build that declaration in from the start.
DSHEA structure and function claims such as supports skin elasticity or supports healthy hair, skin, and nails, always paired with the FDA disclaimer and a Supplement Facts panel. Disease claims like treats aging are not permitted.
Powders in tubs, single-serve stick-packs and sachets, capsules and tablets, and collagen drink blends. Hydrolyzed marine collagen is effectively flavorless and dissolves easily, so it works across dry and drink formats.
The minimum order is 500 units per SKU. Samples are $150 each plus $20 per additional SKU, produced in 10 to 14 days.
Yes. Every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis, produced in cGMP-certified, FDA-registered facilities with full batch traceability.
