DolCas Biotech Launches Single-Serve Sachet Format for Collagen Tripeptide Ingredient

DolCas Biotech, a nutraceutical developer, is unveiling a new delivery format for its Morikol marine collagen tripeptide ingredient, transitioning from traditional mix-in applications to single-serving sachets designed for direct consumption.¹ The format includes 1 g and 2 g sachets of a flavorless, odorless powder that dissolves instantly on the tongue without the need for liquids or mixing.

According to the company, the powder is fully water-soluble and will “melt in your mouth,” eliminating aftertaste concerns often associated with collagen products. This format will be showcased at Vitafoods Europe next week, and is intended to address consumer demand for portability and ease of use, particularly within the growing ingestible beauty category.

The ingestible beauty market was valued at $4.2 billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach $13.1 billion by 2034.²

How Does Morikol’s Collagen Tripeptide Technology Work?

Morikol is a marine-derived collagen tripeptide ingredient characterized by low molecular weight and a high concentration of glycine-proline-hydroxyproline (GPH) peptides. These tripeptides are associated with enhanced bioavailability and rapid absorption, which may support endogenous collagen production as well as hyaluronic acid and ceramide synthesis.

Clinical data cited by the company in a press release¹ suggest that daily doses as low as 1-2 g may contribute to improvements in skin hydration and wrinkle reduction within several weeks. Specifically, in placebo-controlled human studies, supplementation was associated with statistically significant improvements across several key markers of skin health. These findings point to the biological activity of Morikol’s collagen tripeptides, with effects observed over a supplementation period of 6 to 12 weeks.

Measurable reductions in skin roughness were reported in as little 6 weeks. Published data further indicate that Morikol supplementation led to a tenfold improvement in wrinkle reduction, specifically in crow’s feet (as assessed visually), alongside improvements in skin hydration and overall smoothness. This low-dose efficacy has been a key differentiator for Morikol compared to higher-dose collagen ingredients traditionally used in supplements and functional foods.

Earlier applications of the ingredient have included capsules, functional beverages,³ and even confectionery formats, underscoring its adaptability across delivery systems.

Why Are New Delivery Formats Gaining Traction in Ingestible Beauty?

The introduction of single-serve sachets aligns with broader industry trends toward convenience-driven formats and personalized supplementation. Delivery format innovation, from gummies to ready-to-drink shots, continues to shape consumer engagement in the beauty-from-within category, particularly as brands seek to improve compliance and daily usage consistency.

DolCas’s new sachet format reflects a similar strategy, removing barriers such as mixing, measuring, or flavor masking. The direct-to-mouth format also parallels developments seen in other nutraceutical categories, where rapid-dissolve powders and stick packs are increasingly used to differentiate products in crowded markets.

"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," noted 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."

What Does This Mean for the Future of Collagen Supplementation?

The launch signals continued evolution in collagen delivery systems, with a focus on simplifying user experience while maintaining clinically supported benefits. By pairing low-dose efficacy with a simplified intake format, DolCas appears to be targeting both experienced supplement users and newcomers to ingestible beauty.

The company has consistently positioned Morikol as a beauty-from-within ingredient with applications spanning skin health, joint support, and broader wellness outcomes. The new sachet format may expand its appeal in both dietary supplement and functional food categories, particularly among brands seeking differentiated, consumer-friendly formats.
