Hydrolyzed Fish Collagen (HFC) and
Fish Collagen Peptides (FCP)

Kenney & Ross offers two high-quality marine collagen products—Hydrolyzed Fish Collagen (HFC) and Fish Collagen Peptides (FCP)—both derived exclusively from wild-caught, cold-water whitefish such as cod, haddock, and pollock. Produced in our ISO9001:2015-certified facility in Nova Scotia, these collagen ingredients are made without the use of farm-raised fish, genetically modified inputs, or animal by-products, ensuring clean-label and sustainable sourcing.

Both HFC and FCP deliver exceptional nutritional and functional value across nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food applications. While HFC offers a balanced profile of collagen types I, II, III, and IV, FCP is optimized for enhanced bioavailability and rapid solubility through advanced enzymatic processing. Whether your formulation demands high protein content or fast-absorbing peptides, our marine collagen portfolio provides safe, effective, and versatile solutions backed by global quality standards.

HFC Key Features

FCP Key Features

Key Properties HFC

High Protein Content

HFC delivers a concentrated source of marine collagen proteins, supporting health and wellness applications across multiple industries.

Excellent Water Solubility

Its refined particle size and purity ensure easy dissolution in liquids, making it ideal for powders, drinks, and supplements.

Multi-Type Collagen Composition

Contains Types I, II, III, and IV collagen—accounting for over 90% of the collagen found in the human body—supporting skin, joints, and connective tissue.

Key Properties FCP

Reduced Molecular Weight for Enhanced Bioavailability

FCP has an average molecular weight of 1.75 kDa which is less than half the length of peptides found in farm-raised tilapia feedstocks.

Greater Bulk Density for Improved Solubility

FCP has a greater bulk density than regular HFC for rapid dissolution.

Double Hydrolyzed for Increased Effectiveness

FCP is produced through a proprietary multi-stage enzymatic treatment for optimal absorption.
