Description
Dear-Natura Low-Molecular Collagen, 30-Day Supply — 240 Tablets, Collagen 2,000 mg (Pork)
Overview
The collagen in this product is pork collagen, and the elastin is pork elastin. It is the first sentence on the page because for a great many readers it is the one fact that settles the question, and collagen listings very often leave it out.
Eight tablets a day supply collagen 2,000 mg, vitamin C 80 mg, coenzyme Q10 1 mg, hyaluronic acid 1 mg and elastin peptide 1 mg. 240 tablets, 30 days.
The collagen peptide is manufactured in Belgium. Asahi's declaration says so — 豚コラーゲンペプチド（ベルギー製造）. The tablet is made and packed in Japan and the product is a Japanese-market product, but the raw peptide is not Japanese, and on a store that sells Japanese origin we are the ones who have to say it.

Who Is This For?
- People who already take collagen and want to know the source animal and the daily quantity before buying
- Anyone who prefers tablets to a powder and does not mind that the serving is eight of them
- Readers comparing collagen products on quantity: 2,000 mg a day here, against 5,300 mg in the Asahi Perfect Asta powder we also stock, at a different price and a different format
- Not for: anyone observing halal or kosher; vegetarians and vegans; anyone who avoids pork for any other reason; under-18s; anyone pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding; anyone under medical treatment without asking a doctor. If you want collagen without pork, marine collagen is the alternative to look for.
How to Use
- Take eight tablets a day. That is the maker's stated serving and the basis of every figure on this page.
- You can split them across the day — four in the morning and four in the evening is the usual way people take a serving this size.
- Swallow with water or lukewarm water.
- Take them at least two hours apart from any medicine that has its own spacing instruction.
- Store away from direct sunlight, heat and damp, and out of reach of children.

Full Japanese declaration: pork collagen peptide (contains gelatin, produced in Belgium), coenzyme Q10, pork elastin peptide, cellulose, vitamin C, sodium starch glycolate, calcium stearate, hyaluronic acid
Both the collagen peptide and the elastin peptide are pork-derived. This product is therefore not halal and not suitable for vegetarians, vegans, or anyone who avoids pork for any other reason. Gelatin is declared alongside it. We put this first rather than in a parenthesis because it is the fact that decides whether the rest of the page is relevant to you.
On the three small numbers. Coenzyme Q10, hyaluronic acid and elastin peptide are 1 mg each. We print them as figures rather than as bullet points because 1 mg is a token quantity, and 'with CoQ10, hyaluronic acid and elastin' on a competitor's page invites you to imagine a dose that is not there. The 2,000 mg of collagen is the product.
Vitamin C at 80 mg is the only nutrient in this tablet with an authorised European claim relating to skin, and that claim is about the body's own collagen formation rather than about swallowed collagen.
Composition and specification as declared by Asahi Group Foods on its official product page.
Cautions
- Declared allergens: pork and gelatin. Not halal, not kosher, not vegetarian and not vegan. If you avoid pork, this product is not for you and no part of the rest of this page changes that.
- Asahi prints three exclusions on the pack itself: do not take this if you are under medical treatment or taking prescribed medicine without asking your doctor first; not for children or anyone under 18; and not while pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Eight tablets a day is a large serving. If swallowing that many is difficult, a collagen powder is the sensible alternative rather than taking fewer tablets and expecting the stated quantity.
- Collagen is a protein. If you have been told to limit protein because of kidney disease, count 2.22 g a day towards that limit and ask your doctor.
- Coenzyme Q10 is present at 1 mg — far below the level at which the warfarin interaction becomes a practical concern, but if you take warfarin, mention any supplement you start.
- Do not exceed the stated daily serving. More is not better with this formula.
- Stop taking it and speak to a doctor if you feel unwell after use.
- Store away from direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, and out of the reach of children.
- This is a food, not a medicine. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it is not a substitute for a varied diet or for medical advice.

FAQ
What animal is the collagen from?
Pig. Both the collagen peptide and the elastin peptide are pork-derived, and gelatin is declared alongside them. The product is therefore not halal, not kosher, not vegetarian and not vegan. If you want collagen without pork, look for marine collagen — it is the usual alternative and it is a different product, not a variant of this one.
Where is it made?
The tablet is made and packed in Japan, and this is a Japanese-market product. The collagen peptide itself is manufactured in Belgium — Asahi's declaration states it. Both facts are in the Product Details table because a shop that sells Japanese origin should be the one to make the distinction rather than leave a customer to find it.
How many tablets a day, and how much collagen?
Eight tablets a day, giving 2,000 mg of collagen. Eight is a large serving and no description of this product usually states it, so it is here in the overview, the table and the How to Use steps. You can split them, four and four.
Is there really coenzyme Q10 and hyaluronic acid in it?
Yes — 1 mg of each, plus 1 mg of elastin peptide. Those are token quantities and we print them as numbers so that you can judge them. The substance of the product is the collagen.
How does it compare with the collagen powder you sell?
This gives 2,000 mg of collagen a day in eight tablets. The Asahi Perfect Asta powder gives 5,300 mg in one 7.4 g scoop, at a higher price, and it also contains shrimp and crab. Both are pork collagen. Which suits you is a question of dose, format and allergens, and all three are printed on both pages.
