Description
Ginza Tomato Shark Fin Collagen Jelly, Mango, 14 Sticks | 2000 mg – Japanese Beauty Food
Overview
ふかひれコラーゲンゼリー by Ginza Tomato is a mango-flavoured jelly stick that carries 2,000 mg of fish collagen peptide from shark fin in each 12.5 g portion — the maker equates one stick to the collagen of one whole fin. Ginza Tomato states its fin-derived peptide dissolves 43 times more readily than common animal collagen, which is why it fits a dessert-like jelly rather than a powder to stir. Eaten straight from the stick, at room temperature or chilled. Note for careful readers: since July 2024 the maker sources the fins from a non-CITES shark species — details in the ingredients section.

Who Is This For?
- People who keep abandoning collagen powders and want a form that feels like dessert, not a chore
- Anyone choosing fish-derived collagen over pork or beef sources
- Travellers and desk-drawer snackers — sticks need no water, spoon or fridge
- NOT for anyone with phenylketonuria (PKU): the sweetener contains an aspartame–L-phenylalanine compound
How to Use
- Eat 1–3 sticks a day as a food, straight from the stick.
- Chill before eating if you prefer — the maker recommends it for taste; do not freeze.
- Open carefully: contents can spatter, and the cut edge of the stick can nick fingers or lips — the maker warns about both.
Frequency: 1–3 sticks daily; 14 sticks per box

Cautions
- Phenylketonuria (PKU): do not consume — the sweetener is an aspartame–L-phenylalanine compound
- Some raw materials contain milk component, soy and gelatin — check the list above if you have a food allergy
- This is a food, not a medicine — collagen jelly does not rebuild cartilage and it is not a therapy for joint or skin conditions
- Erythritol in larger quantities can have a laxative effect — another reason to stay at 1–3 sticks
- Under medical treatment? Consult your doctor first (maker's instruction); stop if it does not agree with you
- No preservatives are used, per the maker — eat an opened stick promptly; keep away from small children; store cool, away from direct sun

FAQ
Will this help my arthritis, joints or skin condition?
No page selling food should promise you that, and we will not: this jelly does not treat joint disease, skin disease or anything else. It is a pleasant way to add 2,000 mg of fish collagen peptide to your diet — medical questions belong to your doctor.
Which shark does the collagen come from — is that legal to import?
Since July 2024 the maker states it uses fins of アブラツノザメ, a deep-water dogfish species it says is not subject to CITES trade restrictions; it stopped using blue shark, which is CITES-listed, precisely for that reason. The maker's notice is printed on its official product page.
Does it contain hyaluronic acid or chondroitin?
The maker's current ingredient declaration lists neither — collagen peptide is the beauty component, alongside fruit purées, gelling agent and sweeteners. Treat any listing that promises hyaluronic acid or chondroitin in this jelly as describing an outdated formula.
Is it halal, and is the collagen really from fish?
The collagen peptide is fish-derived (shark fin). However, the declaration adds that some raw materials contain gelatin of unstated source, and the product carries no halal certification. If certification matters to you, please consult your religious authority before buying.
How long does delivery take and will heat spoil the jelly?
Processing takes 2–6 business days, then transit depends on the carrier you choose. The sticks are shelf-stable and travel unrefrigerated; in hot months just avoid leaving the parcel in direct sun after delivery. Import duties may apply depending on your country; for US orders duties are prepaid at checkout.
