BioCell Collagen, a clinically-studied dietary supplement ingredient with more than 20 years of safe and effective use, is now recognised as halal-certified by Islamic Information Documentation and Certification (IIDC).
The IIDC is an independent and internationally-accredited inspection and certification centre for halal foods and services. It is officially recognised by organisations such as the Saudi Food & Drug Authority, The Central Islamic Council of Thailand, JAKIM Malaysia and HAK Turkey.
Collagen ingredients are complex and various methods need to be used to characterise the quality of the ingredient at the supply level.
"The halal product category is growing, and more consumers are looking for the IIDC halal symbol as it affirms the product's commitment to safety and health," said Mohammed Ishaq, CEO of BioCell Technology.
"It's important to us to reach and serve those who seek halal-certified products, and BioCell Collagen meets those strict standards."
BioCell Collagen addresses the physiological degradation of connective tissue. More than a decade of research, including seven human clinical trials, shows that BioCell Collagen can combat visible signs of ageing, such as wrinkles, fine lines and crow's feet, while providing internal support for healthy connective tissues and joints. This is achieved as a result of BioCell Collagen's unique composition of naturally-occurring hydrolysed collagen type II peptides, chondroitin sulfate, and hyaluronic acid.
"With this new specification, we look forward to supporting more consumers who want more youthful-looking skin, active joints and healthy connective tissue as they incorporate BioCell Collagen into their daily dietary supplement and nutrition routines," said Ishaq.
