What it is

Bovine collagen hydrolysate is a protein derived from the collagen found in cows. It is produced by breaking down collagen into smaller peptides through a process called hydrolysis, making it easier for the body to absorb.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add bovine collagen hydrolysate to foods for its protein content and potential health benefits. It is often found in protein bars, supplements, and some beverages.

Health notes

Bovine collagen hydrolysate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Some research suggests it may support skin health and joint function, but more studies are needed. JECFA has evaluated collagen and set an acceptable daily intake. Evidence on its benefits is still developing.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. It is derived from bovine sources, which are not among the FDA's nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
