CYASEA is one product: pure hydrolysed marine collagen from sustainably caught wild North Atlantic cod. One ingredient. One serving. 5 g a day. No flavours, no sweeteners, no blends.
This is unusual in a category built on multiplication.
Why does the collagen aisle look like that?
There is a familiar scene in modern wellness. A person stands in front of a pharmacy shelf or scrolls through an online store looking for collagen. The ingredient lists read like negotiations: marine collagen, vitamin C, biotin, zinc, sweeteners, flavour systems, gums, anti-caking agents, proprietary blends, colours, acids. Each addition has a reason. Few of them are nutritional.
Abundance was supposed to make choosing easier. Instead, it created noise.
The market offers dozens of options and very little clarity. More flavours. More formats. More promises. Yet the basic question stays unanswered: what is actually needed here, and what has simply been added because it sells?
That was the starting point for CYASEA.
We did not want to make another product that relied on distraction. We wanted to make one well-made thing that could justify its place on a shelf, in a routine, and in a life.
Does more ingredients mean better quality?
The supplement industry rewards multiplication.
More ingredients create a sense of value. Longer labels appear more advanced. A blend can feel more complete than a single-ingredient collagen powder, even when the additions contribute more to marketing than to function.
Sweeteners can improve taste. They do not improve collagen.
Flavours can make a powder easier to sell. They do not support collagen synthesis.
Fillers can reduce cost per serving. They do not add meaningful function.
Extra ingredients are not inherently bad. Some have legitimate uses. But additions should be justified, not decorative.
Many products are built backwards: start with what will move units, then construct a formula around it. Flavour trends, shelf appeal, margin management, line extensions, influencer language. The result can be commercially effective while nutritionally confused.
We preferred another route.
Hydrolysed marine collagen is already a complete ingredient with a clear purpose. Hydrolysing breaks the collagen into smaller peptides, which is why the powder dissolves clean and carries no taste. It does not need to be disguised as candy. It does not need to become a dessert. It does not need six companions to feel modern.
When a formula contains one ingredient, quality has nowhere to hide. Source matters. Processing matters. Taste neutrality matters. Solubility matters. Consistency matters. Traceability matters.
That standard felt more honest than complexity for its own sake.
Why marine collagen, and why from Norway?
Not all collagen comes from the same source.
Marine collagen is rich in Type I collagen, the most abundant collagen type in the human body. Type I is the collagen found in skin, hair, nails and connective tissue. For that reason, hydrolysed marine collagen suits people looking for a clean collagen powder with a clear purpose.
Choosing fish over bovine was deliberate. Marine sourcing aligned with the product we wanted to make: lighter in profile, neutral in use, precise in identity. It also aligned with where the brand is from.
CYASEA is made in Norway. That matters not as a postcard, but as production context. Cold northern waters shape fish biology, harvesting systems, and supply chains. Norway has long-established marine competence, high standards in food production, and decades of experience working with ocean-based raw materials.
The goal was never to wrap a generic product in Nordic imagery. The goal was to make Norwegian marine collagen that earns the description.
What is actually in the jar?
For anyone reading the label closely:
- Ingredient: 100% hydrolysed marine collagen peptides (Type I)
- Source: Sustainably caught wild fish
- Daily serving: 5 g (one serving), 60 servings per 300 g jar
- Taste: Neutral. Dissolves in hot or cold drinks
- Free from: Flavours, sweeteners, fillers, additives
- Suitable for: Pescatarians. Gluten-free. Diabetic-friendly
- Made in: Norway
That is the whole specification. There is nothing else to disclose because there is nothing else in it.
What did we choose not to do?
We chose not to launch with flavours, though we could have.
We chose not to add vitamin blends, though there is demand for all-in-one products.
We chose not to release gummies, sticks, shots, capsules, and ten variants at once.
We chose not to confuse movement with progress.
Sometimes discipline is the most premium decision available.
Who is CYASEA for?
CYASEA is for people who read labels. People who prefer fewer things made properly. People who have tried enough miracle products to know better. People who understand that consistency tends to matter more than excitement.
We make one thing because one well-made thing can be enough.
That is not a limitation. That is the point.
Why does CYASEA only make one product?
Hydrolysed marine collagen is a complete ingredient with a single purpose. Additional ingredients contribute to marketing more often than to function.
Is single-ingredient collagen better than a collagen blend?
It is a different proposition. A blend combines collagen with other actives. A single-ingredient powder makes the collagen itself the only variable, which means source, processing and consistency carry the whole product.
What is the difference between marine and bovine collagen?
Marine collagen is predominantly Type I. Bovine collagen contains Type I and Type III. CYASEA uses marine collagen from wild-caught North Atlantic cod.
How much collagen is in one serving?
One serving is 5 g, containing 5,000 mg of hydrolysed marine collagen peptides. One 300 g jar holds sixty servings.
If something here raised a question we have not answered, questions answered covers the rest — taste, dose, sourcing, what is and is not in the jar.
