Collagen Peptides Powder 300 g

Collagen peptides powder is hydrolysed bovine collagen at 10 g per serving. Unflavoured, dissolves in hot or cold liquid without clumping. 300 g, 30 servings.

What collagen peptides are

Collagen is the structural protein of skin, tendon, cartilage and bone — roughly a third of all the protein in the body. Native collagen is a long triple helix and far too large to absorb, so it is hydrolysed: enzymes cut it into short peptides of a few thousand daltons, which the gut can take up. The amino acid profile is distinctive — about a third glycine, with high proline and hydroxyproline, the residues that let the helix pack tightly.

Why hydrolysed, and what that means in practice

Hydrolysis is what makes the powder dissolve in a cold drink and absorb as peptides rather than passing through. It is also why collagen is not a complete protein: it contains no tryptophan, so it cannot replace whey or a plant blend as a protein source. Treat it as a specific amino acid supply for connective tissue rather than as protein by the gram. Collagen synthesis also requires vitamin C as a cofactor — without it, proline and lysine are not hydroxylated and the fibres cannot cross-link, which is the one pairing genuinely worth making.

What the law allows us to say

There is no authorised EU health claim for collagen, so no promise is made here about skin, joints or hair. What is on the label is accurate: 10 g of hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides per serving, the dose used in most published trials.

How to use the powder

Stir 10 g — one scoop — into a hot or cold drink once a day. Coffee, tea, water and juice all work; unlike whey, collagen does not curdle in hot liquid and is close to tasteless. Any time of day is fine. Related products in the range: glycine capsules, since a third of collagen is glycine, and L-lysine, one of its building blocks.

Questions people ask

Is it suitable for vegetarians?

No. Collagen is an animal protein — this one is bovine. There is no plant collagen; products marketed as such are amino acid blends.

Can I put it in coffee?

Yes. It is heat-stable and dissolves clear.

Can it replace my protein powder?

No — it lacks tryptophan and is incomplete as a protein. See all supplements.

Good to know. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Food supplements should not replace a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Talk to your doctor before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
