Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides

What are Collagen Peptides?

Collagen peptides are small molecular peptides produced through the enzymatic hydrolysis of natural collagen or gelatin. Compared with regular collagen, collagen peptides have a lower molecular weight and are easier for the human body to absorb and utilize.

Key Features

Low molecular weight (<10 kDa)Absorbed via intestinal epithelial cellsNearly fully bioavailable

Natural Sources

Collagen peptides are primarily derived from a range of natural raw materials, each offering slightly different amino acid profiles and applications.

Characteristic Amino Acids

Collagen peptides contain two amino acids found almost exclusively in collagen: Hydroxyproline and Hydroxylysine. These serve as reliable biomarkers of collagen absorption and play a direct role in supporting connective tissue integrity.

Why does the Human Body Need Collagen?

According to Dr. Brandt — known as the "Father of Collagen" — more than 75% of human skin consists of collagen. Beyond skin, collagen is an essential structural component of bones, hair, eyes, nails, and virtually every connective tissue in the body.

Main Benefits

Supports growth and development of bones and teeth
Enhances muscle strength
Helps improve immunity
Nourishes hair
Supports long-term bone health
Moisturizes skin and helps reduce wrinkles, dark circles, and skin spots

Collagen Peptides vs. Regular Collagen

The difference comes down to molecular size — and that gap has enormous implications for absorption efficiency and real-world efficacy.

Collagen Peptides RECOMMENDED Regular Collagen
Molecular Weight <10 kDa 285–300 kDa
Absorption Easier — absorbed in peptide form Lower efficiency
Bioavailability Higher — nearly fully utilized Lower

Regular Protein vs. Collagen vs. Collagen Peptides

Understanding how collagen peptides differ from both everyday protein and intact collagen helps clarify where each fits in a supplement formula.

Regular Protein
  • Contains all 20 amino acids
  • Sourced from meat, dairy, eggs, soybeans
Collagen
  • Large molecular protein
  • Triple-helix structure
  • ~25–30% of total body protein
Collagen Peptides
  • Small bioactive peptides
  • Easier to absorb
  • Higher utilization rate
  • Wider applications

How We Produce Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides?

From raw material selection through final packaging, every stage of enzymatic hydrolysis is carefully controlled to preserve bioactivity and ensure product purity.
