Marine-derived collagen provides a wide range of benefits
over porcine, bovine, and other terrestrial sources.

With its low molecular weight, marine collagen peptides offer

excellent solubility, absorption, and bioavailability compared
with porcine and bovine sources. Plus, the risk of illness is
minimized with marine collagennot the case with other
animal sources, which have been associated with disease
transfer to humans.
Additionally, marine-based collagen peptides and gelatin
contain no pork or beef products. This makes them widely
accepted across cultures and religions. For instance, all Vinh
Hoan Collagen products are Halal certified.

amino acid profile
Our single-source, Pangasius hypophthalmus,
has a unique amino acid profile rich in
essential nutrients.
Our collagen peptide and gelatin products contain more
natural hydroxyproline and proline than products from any
other marine collagen source. We also offer a greater
concentration of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA:
isoleucine, leucine, and valine), as well as lysine and
phenylalanine, than any other source. In addition to
specific health benefits, our single-species source means
we can consistently deliver this unique amino acid profile
with minimal variation.

Vinh Hoan Corporation was founded in Vietnam
in 1997 by Truong Thi Le Khanh.
From the start, Mrs. Khanhs goal was to provide people everywhere with healthy
seafood products from the rich Mekong River Delta. She built the business on a
commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation.
This formula has served the company and the greater community well.
Mrs. Khanh has proven that sustainable practices can be as good for business as
they are for the environment. Today, Vinh Hoan is the worlds largest pangasius
aquaculture firm and a global example of responsible collagen peptide
and gelatin production.
Forbes magazine has recognized Vinh Hoan as one of the best publicly traded
companies in Vietnam, and has recognized Mrs. Khanh as one of the countrys
top 10 successful businesswomen. Today, Vinh Hoan Collagen continues this
tradition, providing a new level of sustainable quality and purity in the areas of
