Grass Fed Beef Collagen

Collagen is a protein found naturally in connective tissues, bones, and skin of animals, including cattle. "Grass-fed" indicates the cattle were raised on pasture rather than in feedlots. The collagen is typically extracted from these animal parts through heating and purification processes.

Collagen is often added to foods as a source of protein. It can also act as a binder or thickener. It is commonly found in protein bars, beverages, and supplements.

Collagen is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Some studies suggest collagen supplements may benefit skin health and joint function, but more research is needed. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated collagen and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence on its benefits is still developing.
