Demand for Halal-certified health products, nutraceuticals and supplements is growing rapidly, as brands look to meet the needs of Muslim consumers and enter expanding international markets. For health and wellness businesses targeting the UK, Middle East, Asia and other countries with growing Muslim populations, the Halal supplements sector represents a significant opportunity.
There are, of course, strict requirements which have to be met for supplements to be certified as Halal. These requirements revolve around ingredient sourcing, procession and handling, with every stage of the production compliant with Islamic dietary standards. All ingredients must be fully traceable to ensure consumer confidence.

For a supplement product to be halal, it must be free from ingredients derived from non-halal animal sources, such as pork-based gelatin, and also from alcohol based solvents used in processing. That includes the capsule shell material because a lot of capsules are commonly pork derived unless specifically sourced from halal certified bovine, fish or plant based alternatives. Manufacturing processes and facilities also need to prevent cross-contamination with non-halal ingredients to maintain halal certification, which the Parkacre state-of-the-art facility holds.
Which brands are halal certified varies by market and category, and the most reliable way to confirm halal status is checking for a recognised certification logo, such as HMC or HFA in the UK. For manufacturers like us, achieving certification means demonstrating compliant ingredient sourcing and manufacturing processes to an accredited certifying body like those mentioned above.
You don’t need any specific licence beyond the standard requirements for any food supplement, which means registering as a food business with your local authority and complying with UK food supplement regulations. Halal certification is a separate, voluntary process through an accredited body such as HMC or HFA, rather than a legal requirement to sell the product.
Whether a collagen supplement is halal depends entirely on its source. Collagen is most commonly derived from pork or non-zabiha slaughtered bovine sources, both considered non-halal. Marine collagen, sourced from fish, is generally considered halal, as is collagen from halal slaughtered and certified bovine sources. Checking for recognised halal certification on the specific product is the most reliable way to confirm if you can take a certain supplement.
To know if a supplement product is halah, look for a certification logo from a recognised body, such as HMC, HFA or IFANCA. Checking the capsule shell material and any animal derived ingredients, such as gelatin or glycerin, matters just as much if no certification is present.
