Hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptide is a small molecule peptide mixture obtained by enzymatic or acid-base hydrolysis of bovine collagen, which has high absorption rate, biocompatibility, and various physiological functions. It is widely used in health products, food, cosmetics, and medical fields. The following is its key information:
- Source and preparation
Raw materials: Type I or III collagen extracted mainly from cowhide, cow bone, or cow tendon.
Process: Proteases (such as trypsin and papain) or acid-base hydrolysis are used to break down large molecule collagen into low molecular weight (usually 500-5000 daltons) peptide segments. - Core Features
Low molecular weight: More easily absorbed by the intestine, with a higher utilization rate than intact collagen.
High biological activity: Contains specific sequences (such as Gly Pro Hyp) that can stimulate fibroblasts and promote skin and joint repair.
Rich in amino acids: high proportion of glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, supporting skin elasticity and bone health. - Main benefits
Skin Health: Increases moisture and elasticity, reduces wrinkles (clinical studies have shown that 10-20g per day is effective for 8 weeks).
Joint protection: Relieve pain from osteoarthritis and promote cartilage repair (common dose 20g/day).
Other potentials: Enhance bone strength, support muscle repair, and may improve intestinal barrier function. - Application Fields
Health supplements: Oral powders, capsules, often combined with vitamin C (promoting collagen synthesis).
Food: added to beverages and protein bars as functional ingredients.
Cosmetics: External use can enhance skin moisturization (requires transdermal technology).
Medical excipients: used for wound dressings or tissue engineering scaffolds. - Security
Generally recognized as safe (GRAS), rare allergies (caution should be exercised for those sensitive to bovine sources).
It is recommended to choose high-quality products without heavy metals and low residues, with a daily dosage not exceeding 20g. - Selection suggestions
Follow tags: Select products with hydrolysis degree>90% and molecular weight<3000Da.
Certification: Priority should be given to brands with FDA, ISO, or third-party testing (such as heavy metals, microorganisms).
Chenkang’s bovine collagen peptides have passed certifications such as ISO90001/FDA/HACCP. We welcome everyone to purchase.
