What it is
Hydrolyzed beef collagen is a protein derived from the connective tissues of cattle. It is made by breaking down collagen into smaller protein fragments, called peptides, through a process called hydrolysis.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add hydrolyzed beef collagen to foods and supplements for its protein content and potential benefits for skin, joint, and bone health. It is commonly found in protein powders, energy bars, and nutritional drinks.
Health notes
Hydrolyzed beef collagen is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Scientific reviews suggest it may support skin hydration and joint comfort, but more research is needed to confirm these effects. JECFA has evaluated collagen and set an acceptable daily intake. There are no widespread controversies regarding its use at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Hydrolyzed beef collagen is derived from beef, which is not one of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
