History of Collagen in Japan
Japan is one of the pioneers in collagen production, driven by a culture that values beauty, health and longevity, along with advanced industrial technology.
From the 1970s to the 1980s, research progressed on the effects of collagen on skin, joints, and overall health, leading to the establishment of commercial production techniques.
Japanese companies have also been at the forefront of functional foods, actively developing collagen-based products.
