The collagen products provided by Nitta Gelatin have a number of different functions. For example, collagen peptides have been found to have not only the effect of creating better skin but also an antiaging effect. Moreover, our high-quality and safe collagen and gelatin are used as material for regenerative medicine and as biomaterial for artificial bones and skin.

   As preventive medicine becomes increasingly more important in Japan with its declining birthrate and aging population, we believe that we can contribute to resolving problems in the health and medical fields by showing, through research on collagen, the various functions that collagen and gelatin can play in developing new products. We are also engaged in various activities to make the benefits of collagen more widely known. We hope that these activities will encourage more people to use collagen, which in turn will help people maintain their health and lead healthier lives.

Providing safe and secure products to society is the primary mission for the manufacturing industry. To ensure our customers can use safe products with peace of mind, we have established a Quality Policy with the aim to manufacture products from the perspective of the customer, from product design through to delivery to customers.

   Since raw materials for the Group's main products, which include gelatin, collagen peptides, and collagen, are animal by-products derived from meat and fish production (from bovine bones, bovine and pig hides, and fish scales, etc.), there is a risk with potential animal diseases. Because of this risk, we procure our raw materials after confirming they are not contaminated with any disease, and we are diversifying the areas of our raw material procurement to ensure we only use safe raw materials.

The Group develops customer-centric products by striving to place quality first so that we are trusted by customers, and as such, products are manufactured in accordance with an international quality management system. In particular, we are focusing on ensuring traceability from the raw materials we use through to the products we produce. The Quality Assurance Department is always making improvements to ensure the quality and safety of our products and to improve customer satisfaction through product quality control and quality assurance work.
