Hydrolysed Bovine Collagen

Hydrolysed Bovine Collagen is a form of collagen that has been broken down into smaller peptides through a process called hydrolysis. It is derived from the collagen found in the connective tissues, skin, and bones of cows (bovine). Hydrolysed bovine collagen is a highly versatile and bioavailable form of collagen, offering a variety of health benefits and is widely used in dietary supplements, cosmetics, and even in food products. 

Characteristics

  • Rich in Type I and Type III Collagen and Amino Acids: Hydrolyzed bovine collagen is particularly high in Type I and Type III collagen, both of which are vital for maintaining healthy skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments. Composed mainly of amino acids (like glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline) essential for collagen formation in the body, these amino acids play a crucial role in the repair and regeneration of tissues.
  • High Bioavailability: Hydrolysed bovine collagen is broken down into smaller peptides, making it easier for the body to absorb and utilise efficiently. Due to its smaller molecular size, it passes quickly through the digestive tract and into the bloodstream, delivering faster results compared to unprocessed collagen.
  • Versatile for Use: Water soluble and neutral in taste and odour, it is easy to incorporate into a variety of products, from drinks and smoothies to capsules and food items.
  • Pure and Natural: Typically free from artificial additives, preservatives, and fillers, collagen is a natural supplement. It is generally considered a clean product, especially if sourced from grass-fed, hormone-free cattle.

Uses of Hydrolysed Bovine Collagen:

Health and Wellness

  • Joint and Skin Health: Hydrolysed bovine collagen is commonly used in supplements aimed at improving joint health and skin elasticity. It helps stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, leading to smoother, more youthful skin and cartilage regeneration.
  • Hair and Nail Growth: Collagen promotes stronger hair and nails, reducing hair thinning and encouraging healthier, faster growth.
  • Functional Foods and Beverages: Hydrolysed bovine collagen is often added to protein powders, smoothies, and shakes to boost protein intake and support muscle recovery and overall health. It is incorporated into food products like protein bars, soups, sauces, and beverages to provide additional collagen for joint and skin health.

Skincare and Cosmetic Products

  • Anti-Aging, Hydration and Face Masks: It is used in hydrating creams, lotions, and serums designed to improve skin elasticity, reduce fine lines, and promote a youthful appearance.
  • Medical and Therapeutic Uses: Due to its ability to support collagen formation, hydrolyzed bovine collagen is used in wound care products and post-surgery recovery to promote faster healing of skin and tissue.

Pet Supplements

  • Joint Health for Pets: Hydrolysed bovine collagen is used in supplements for pets, particularly for joint health in older dogs and cats. It helps maintain cartilage and joint function, reducing the effects of arthritis and improving mobility.
