What Collagen Life sciences does

Collagen Life Sciences Pvt Ltd is an India-based B2B manufacturer of collagen peptides, incorporated in 2019 as a dedicated vehicle under the 60-year-old enzyme producer Krishna Enzytech. The company operates out of a 25,000 sq. ft. facility in Nandesar/Yeola, near Nashik (Maharashtra), with a stated production capacity of 1,600 MT per annum following the addition of two new manufacturing units in 2022. Its product portfolio spans marine (AQUACOL, AQUAPRO, FICOL II), bovine (PROCOL, HP PROCOL), chicken (Chicken Collagen Peptide, Undenatured Type II Collagen), vegan (VEGCOL, a patent-pending plant-based bio-mimic of Type I and Type III collagen), and pet (PETPEP) collagen peptides.

The company extracts collagen using an enzymatic hydrolysis process employing natural enzymes, with low-temperature non-denaturing technology used for undenatured products such as FICOL II. Production is supported by an in-house enzyme supply chain inherited from the parent company's six decades of biotechnology operations. Collagen Life Sciences holds a deep certification stack spanning US FDA, ISO 22000-2018, ISO 9001, HACCP, FSSC 22000, GMP, Kosher (OU and KCJ), Halal, Bveg (Vegan Approved), and clinically tested designations, and supports its claims with peer-reviewed clinical publications.

The business model is export-oriented and B2B, with approximately 80% of production shipped to 50+ countries. Revenue is generated through direct enterprise sales to nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food manufacturers, complemented by exclusive distributor partnerships in Korea and Japan and a private-label/white-label offering that lets partners market the company's peptides under their own brands. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customer acquisition relies heavily on industry trade shows (Vitafoods, CPHI, IFT, Fi Europe and others, with 30+ events per year), a product- and clinical-evidence-led website, and distributor relationships.
