Hydrolyzed beef collagen, also known as collagen peptides, is a highly functional protein ingredient derived from bovine sources such as hides or bones. Through enzymatic hydrolysis, the collagen is broken down into smaller peptides, making it highly soluble, easy to digest, and bioavailable.
It primarily consists of Type I and III collagen, which are key to supporting skin, joint, bone, and connective tissue health. With its neutral flavor, odorless profile, and excellent heat and processing stability, it integrates seamlessly into a wide range of formulations.
Used across the food, beverage, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries, hydrolyzed beef collagen is commonly found in powders, RTDs, protein bars, gummies, capsules, and beauty-from-within supplements.
Its clean-label appeal, non-allergenic nature, and strong consumer demand make it a valuable ingredient for product developers and CDMOs looking to formulate functional products that support healthy aging, mobility, and skin health.
