The bovine collagen peptide itself is a protein hydrolysate extracted from the connective tissue of cattle, such as skin, bone, and cartilage, and naturally does not contain dairy ingredients. But whether it is suitable for people with lactose intolerance or allergies to dairy products, the following things need to be noted.
- Source of ingredients and risk of cross contamination
Pure bovine collagen peptide: If the product contains only bovine collagen peptide and no dairy ingredients (such as whey protein, casein, etc.) are added, it does not contain dairy products.
Cross contamination of production lines: If manufacturers also process products containing dairy products, there may be a risk of trace residues. At present, the Chenkang production line can avoid the occurrence of cross contamination. - Additives and formulas
Some collagen products may add other ingredients (such as seasonings, vitamins, etc.), and the label needs to be checked to confirm whether it contains dairy derived ingredients (such as lactose, whey powder).
Common dairy related additives: whey protein, casein, lactose - How to choose safe dairy free products
View tags: Select products clearly labeled as “no dairy products” or “pure collagen peptides”.
Contact the manufacturer: directly consult the manufacturer to confirm allergen information. - Precautions for lactose intolerance or milk allergy
Lactose intolerance: Pure collagen peptides do not contain lactose, so there is no need to worry.
Milk allergy: It is necessary to ensure that there is no cross contamination, as milk allergy may be sensitive to trace amounts of milk protein.
