Carrara | Marine Collagen Peptides

0g sugar, 1.5g carbs and 8.5g of marine collagen protein. No sweeteners.

Carrara contains two clinically studied forms of marine collagen: 8.5g of Type I (from wild-caught Japanese fish skin and scales) and 25mg of rare undenatured Type II (from the nasal cartilage of wild Hokkaido salmon). It's the first formula to combine both in a single product.

We formulated for precision, not quantity. Type I supports visible skin radiance and systemic vitality. Type II reinforces the dermal architecture and connective tissue that underpin both skin firmness and joint mobility. More types doesn't mean better results. Clinical precision does.

The Type II collagen in Carrara comes from the nasal cartilage of wild Hokkaido salmon—one of the rarest sources of undenatured Type II collagen available. Unlike conventional hydrolyzed collagens, this intact form retains its natural complex with proteoglycans, preserving biological active sites that interact with connective tissue and immune pathways in a fundamentally different way. Clinical studies on this specific source showed improvements in skin elasticity, firmness, wrinkles and pores in as little as 2 weeks, as well as greater joint comfort within 4–6 weeks.

From the pristine waters of Hokkaido, Japan—where cold currents from the North Pacific and Sea of Okhotsk keep the water clean and nutrient-rich. We work with marine collagen artisans who pioneered the category itself, and have spent decades refining collagen sourcing and extraction technology.

Carrara is made from wild-caught Japanese fish, using parts—skin, scales and nasal cartilage—that are traditionally prized in Japanese and Cantonese nourishment rituals. This reflects a whole-fish utilization philosophy with deep cultural respect for the source.

Not as a whole product. The marine collagen is wild-caught (not farmed), so it doesn't carry an organic designation. However, Carrara does contain organic coconut milk powder and organic Madagascar vanilla.

Marine Type I Collagen (Wild Fish), Organic Coconut Milk Powder, Pearl Powder, Organic Madagascar Vanilla, Marine Type II Collagen (Wild Salmon Nasal Cartilage), Biotin.

Allergens: Fish, Coconut. Not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.

Naturally creamy, soft and smooth—with gentle coconut richness, the quiet warmth of organic Madagascar vanilla and a clean finish from micronized pearl powder. No fishy taste whatsoever. It enhances without overpowering.

One serving is 2 rounded Carrara scoops (13.8g). Add to tea, coffee, a smoothie or any beverage of your choice and mix well. Works in both hot and cold, but warm water gives the best texture. For lattes, the Pique Alchemist Beaker with a frother creates a beautifully silky finish.

Results vary by benefit. Based on clinical studies on Carrara's specific collagen sources:

• Skin elasticity and firmness: as early as 2 weeks
• Skin texture, wrinkles, and tone: emerging at 4 weeks, statistically significant at 8 weeks
• Joint comfort and mobility: within 4–6 weeks
• Immune vitality markers: after 8 weeks of consistent daily use

Consistency is everything—Carrara is designed to work as a daily ritual.

Generally yes—collagen is a protein and is considered safe to take from multiple sources. That said, most research suggests an effective range of 2.5–15g daily depending on your goals, so if you're already near that range, adding more may not provide additional benefit. As always, check with your healthcare provider if you have specific health goals or conditions.

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition or take medications, please consult your healthcare practitioner before use.

Yes. Carrara is formulated using ingredients that have been evaluated in peer-reviewed human clinical studies, including randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials.
