What it is

Hydrolyzed bovine collagen is a protein derived from cows. It is made by breaking down collagen, a connective tissue found in animal skin and bones, into smaller protein fragments through a process called hydrolysis.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add hydrolyzed bovine collagen to foods for its protein content and potential functional properties, such as improving texture or acting as a binder. It is commonly found in protein bars, nutritional supplements, and sometimes in baked goods.

Health notes

In the U.S., hydrolyzed bovine collagen is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Some studies suggest it may support skin, joint, and bone health, but more research is needed to confirm these effects. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated collagen peptides, but no specific numeric limits are set. Evidence regarding its health benefits is still developing.

Allergen info

Hydrolyzed bovine collagen is derived from cows, which are not one of the 9 major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
