It’s true that collagen has had its moment in the spotlight in recent years. Collagen supplements are everywhere, and there’s endless talk about the role collagen plays in the ageing process. Is it really the key to beautiful, hydrated, glowing skin and wellness from within?
Well. If you ask us – it depends on the quality, which is why you’ll hear collagen connoisseurs say, there’s collagen and then there’s Adashiko Collagen. Founded in 2013 by Japanese cosmetics expert, Yuko Arquette, Adashiko was on a mission to produce high-quality ingestible collagen to restore and maintain the skin and body from within.
Today, Adashiko is owned and operated by Luci Firth in Hawke’s Bay. While our team is led by heart, we’re backed by science. Adashiko collagen powders and the growing skincare collection are still produced in Japan to the highest international standards.
We won’t compromise on quality, ever. From Japan – world leaders in collagen development and manufacturing – to New Zealand, Adashiko Collagen is everything you need and nothing you don’t.
When it comes to our collagen powders, we knew we needed to go deep to truly support your wellness from within. Adashiko includes Type I, II, and III collagen for full health and beauty benefits. Pure and Ultra both have Type I + III collagen + Joint contains a beautiful blend of all three.
Our collagen molecules are small but mighty. With an advanced low molecular weight of 3000 Daltons, Adashiko Collagen is bioavailable and highly absorbable. Once in your bloodstream, our collagen molecules are carried to cells in your body where they send a signal that stimulates fibroblast and cartilage cells to promote the formation of new collagen.

Simply the finest grade collagen in New Zealand and advanced hair, skin, nail, gut, joint, and full body-loving ingredients.
