Marine collagen (from fish) is usually easier to verify, but check the exact product label. Bovine collagen (from cattle) needs halal certification because it comes from animals that must be slaughtered per Syariah. Avoid porcine collagen entirely.

Halal-specific guidance

Safest choice: marine collagen. If you want bovine collagen, check for an active halal certificate. Always avoid porcine collagen (pig source).

How to verify a halal certificate

  1. Visit JAKIM's the official JAKIM Halal Status Check page
  2. Search for the manufacturer or brand's halal certificate number
  3. Confirm the certificate date is still valid (halal certs renew every 1-2 years)
  4. For imported products, check the country-of-origin halal certificate (e.g. JAKIM equivalent in the import country)
  5. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer directly for documentation
