What it is

Bovine collagen peptides are small chains of amino acids derived from collagen, a protein found in cows. The collagen is typically extracted from cowhides or bones and then broken down into smaller peptides through a process called hydrolysis.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add bovine collagen peptides to foods and beverages for their protein content and potential functional properties. They are often found in protein bars, nutritional supplements, and powdered drink mixes.

Health notes

Bovine collagen peptides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Research is ongoing into the potential benefits of collagen peptides for skin, joint, and bone health, but more high-quality studies are needed to confirm these effects. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated collagen, but no specific regulatory limits are typically set for its use as a food ingredient.

Allergen info

Bovine collagen peptides are derived from cows, which are not among the nine major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
