Collagen is a family of fibrous proteins naturally present in animal connective tissues and, in consumer products, it is most commonly sourced from bovine, porcine, or marine raw materials. In supplements it is frequently used as hydrolysed collagen, also labelled as “collagen peptides”, where the protein is broken down into smaller peptides to improve solubility and ease of use in powders, capsules, tablets, and ready-to-mix drinks. On labels it may appear as “hydrolyzed collagen” or “collagen peptides”, with the origin sometimes specified as marine, bovine, or porcine. In cosmetics, collagen is typically declared under the INCI name “Hydrolyzed Collagen” and is used in water-based formulas such as serums, creams, and masks, often at modest concentrations alongside humectants and film-forming polymers. As a material, it is a mixture primarily composed of amino acids, peptides, and proteins, with properties influenced by the source and degree of hydrolysis. Because it is protein-based, collagen-containing products can have a characteristic taste or odour, so flavoured options are also common.
Macronutrient essential for building and maintaining muscle and bone mass.

Krill oil is a marine oil obtained from Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), a small planktonic crustacean. In food supplements it is used as a source of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, mainly EPA and DHA, which in krill are often present in phospholipid-bound forms alongside a fraction of triglycerides. Commercial products are typically standardised for their EPA+DHA content and are most commonly presented as softgel capsules, more rarely as a liquid oil. As an animal-derived ingredient, its composition can vary with extraction and purification methods. In formulations, krill oil may be combined with added antioxidants to support oxidative stability and with other marine oils.

L-arginine is a proteinogenic amino acid found naturally in protein-rich foods and in the body as part of amino-acid metabolism. In supplements it is commonly used as L-arginine in powders or capsules, and also as different salts/complexes chosen for handling and solubility, such as L-arginine hydrochloride (HCl) or arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (AAKG). On labels it may also appear as “free form” (base) or as part of amino-acid blends and pre-workout style formulas. As a raw material, L-arginine is a white crystalline powder, often hygroscopic, that is mixed into drinks or filled into capsules. In cosmetics it is seen less often in water-based formulas as an amino acid/conditioning component, typically at low concentrations and alongside other amino acids.
