Stand 3G221

DolCas Biotech has introduced a new format for its Morikol marine collagen tripeptide ingredient. This new delivery system will be on display at Vitafoods Europe Booth 3G221.

The new format consists of 1-gram and 2-gram single-serving sachets of Morikol collagen tripeptide that can be opened and ingested directly. Because the ingredient is water-soluble, the “melt-in-your-mouth” powder can be consumed directly without mixing into liquids and without any aftertaste. 

Morikol, recognized for its bioavailability and efficacy, is a bioactive glycine-proline-hydroxyproline (GPH) tripeptide that provides for efficient absorption, even within a food or beverage matrix. Its unique mechanism ensures Morikol gets rapidly absorbed into circulation and can exert specific biological activity.   

“This new format offers consumers a fast, convenient way to take collagen anywhere, anytime, which can also help support rapid absorption due to the highly bioavailable tripeptide structure,” said K G Rao, founder and CEO of DolCas Biotech. “Conventional collagen peptides often recommend consumption on an empty stomach for optimal absorption, but when DolCas performed a comprehensive critical review of the ingredient, superior standardization properties were revealed that made it unique compared to other collagen products.”

Morikol’s primary advantage is its high concentration of the specific GPH tripeptide sequence, a bioactive structure naturally recognized by the body. While conventional collagen peptides end up as amino acid sources after digestion, Morikol precision hydrolyzed bioactive peptides deliver targeted physiological signaling.

Once absorbed, the GPH tripeptides act not only as building blocks for collagen but also as biological messengers that activate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen, elastin, and extracellular matrix proteins. In addition to stimulating collagen biosynthesis, emerging research suggests that GPH helps support skin hydration, and elasticity, softening the skin’s roughness, deeper layers and reducing wrinkles.
