Description
Meiji Amino Collagen NMN — 5,000 mg fish collagen and 250 mg NMN a day, 196 g
Overview
Meiji Amino Collagen NMN is an unflavoured powder that dissolves into anything you are already drinking. One 7 g scoop a day supplies 5,000 mg of fish collagen peptide and 250 mg of NMN, plus vitamin C 50 mg, glucosamine 60 mg and arginine 25 mg, for 27 kcal. The tub holds 196 g — 28 servings, so four weeks. Meiji is a Japanese food and pharmaceutical company founded in 1906, and the collagen peptide is declared as manufactured in Japan.
The collagen is fish. That is worth saying at the top, because Japan's allergen declaration for this product lists milk, orange, soy and gelatin and does not list fish — Japanese labelling does not treat fish as a single declarable category. If you avoid fish, this product is made of it.
In Japan this product is an ordinary food (一般食品). It is neither a Food with Function Claims (機能性表示食品) nor a Food with Nutrient Function Claims (栄養機能食品), which means no health or physiological effect has been notified to or reviewed by the Consumer Affairs Agency and none may lawfully be claimed for it. The description below therefore says what each ingredient is and how much of it the maker declares, and stops there.
Before you order into the European Union. Nicotinamide mononucleotide has no record of significant consumption in the EU before 15 May 1997, so under Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 it is a novel food and needs authorisation before it may be placed on the EU market. EFSA issued a favourable safety opinion on 13 May 2026, but that opinion covers one applicant's material at 300 mg a day and excludes pregnancy and breastfeeding; a novel-food authorisation of that kind is specific to the applicant and does not extend to Japanese NMN from another producer. The position is different elsewhere: the United States confirmed NMN as lawful in dietary supplements in a letter of 29 September 2025, and Japan sells it as an ordinary food. We state this so that a customer in the EU can decide with the facts in front of them; personal-import rules are set by your own country and we cannot advise on them.

Who Is This For?
- Anyone who has tried collagen capsules and stopped. A powder that disappears into your morning coffee asks less of you than eight capsules does.
- Anyone who wants collagen and NMN and would otherwise buy two products and take two.
- Anyone avoiding bovine and porcine collagen for dietary or religious reasons — this one is marine. Note the gelatin declaration below before deciding.
- Anyone who wants to see a real nutrition panel and a JAN code rather than a marketing page.
- Not for: anyone allergic to fish, milk or orange, or avoiding soy or gelatin — all five are relevant here and only four are declared in Japan. Not for vegans or vegetarians. Not for anyone pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical advice, because of the NMN. Not for anyone in the EU who needs the product to be lawfully marketable there.
How to Use
- Measure one level 7 g scoop.
- Stir it into about 150–200 ml of whatever you are drinking — water, coffee, tea, juice — or into yoghurt, soup or a smoothie.
- Do not add it to boiling liquid, and do not cook with it at length; heat is hard on both the collagen and the NMN.
- Take it once a day. Which time of day is up to you.
- Close the lid firmly after each use and keep the tub out of sunlight, heat and damp.
Frequency: Once a day, one 7 g scoop
Full Ingredients
Ingredients as declared by the maker: fish collagen peptide (manufactured in Japan), maltodextrin, NMN, vegetable oil / glucosamine, vitamin C, arginine, thickener (gum arabic), emulsifier, flavouring.
Nutrition per 7 g serving: energy 27 kcal · protein 5.3 g · fat 0.09 g · carbohydrate 1.2 g · salt equivalent 0.01–0.09 g · vitamin C 50 mg · collagen peptide 5,000 mg · glucosamine 60 mg · arginine 25 mg · NMN 250 mg.
Allergens, as Japan requires them to be declared: milk, orange, soybean, gelatin. Read that alongside the first line of the declaration. The collagen is fish. Japanese labelling does not list fish as a single declarable category — only certain named species — so a truthful Japanese allergen line can omit it on a product made of it. Outside Japan fish is generally a declarable allergen. If you react to fish, do not take this.
Two corrections to the previous version of this page: energy was given as 26 kcal (Meiji publishes 27), and the powder was described as having no flavouring while the declaration ends in 香料, flavouring. It is unflavoured to taste; it is not free of flavouring.
Cautions
- This is a food, not a medicine. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and nothing here is medical advice.
- Do not exceed the daily amount the maker states on the pack.
- If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, ask your doctor before taking this. EFSA's 2026 safety opinion on NMN explicitly excluded those groups, which means they were not assessed rather than that harm was shown.
- If you take prescription medicine or are under treatment for anything, ask your doctor or pharmacist before adding this.
- Stop taking it and speak to a doctor if anything about how you feel changes after you start.
- Keep out of reach of children. This is not a product for children.
- Store away from direct sunlight, heat and damp, and close the pack after use.
- The collagen is fish and Japan's allergen line does not say so. If you have a fish allergy, this is the single most important sentence on the page.
- Gelatin is declared, which matters for halal, kosher and vegetarian diets. Meiji does not state the species the gelatin comes from. If that decides it for you, ask Meiji rather than rely on our page.
- Milk and orange are declared alongside soy and gelatin.
- Heat. Do not add the powder to boiling liquid or cook with it for any length of time.

FAQ
Can I have this shipped to an EU country?
We ship there, but you should know the legal position first. NMN is an unauthorised novel food in the EU: no NMN has completed the authorisation procedure, and EFSA's favourable opinion of 13 May 2026 is specific to one applicant's material, not to Japanese NMN generally. What your own country permits an individual to import for personal use is a separate question that only your national authority can answer. We would rather you read that here than find it out at a customs desk.
I am allergic to fish. The allergen list does not mention it — is it safe?
No. The collagen in this product is fish collagen; it is the first item in the declaration. Japan's allergen labelling rules do not treat fish as a single declarable category, so the Japanese allergen line — milk, orange, soy, gelatin — is truthful and still omits the thing the product is largely made of. Do not take it.
Is it really tasteless?
To taste, yes — that is what "unflavoured" means here, and it is the practical reason people keep taking it. But the declaration ends in 香料, flavouring, so the powder is not flavouring-free. An earlier version of this page said it was.
What happened to the "Japan's No. 1 collagen brand" line?
It was a ranking claim sourced to Intage SRI+ data for January–December 2024. That window closed twenty months ago and we cannot verify the current position, so we removed it rather than repeat a stale number with a footnote. Meiji's own page is the place to look for an up-to-date version of that claim.
How is it shipped, and how long does it take?
It leaves our warehouse in Kobe, Japan within 2–6 business days with a tracking number. Delivery after that depends on your destination — commonly 7–21 days — and any import duty or tax is set by your own country, not by us.
