Collection: Grass-Fed Collagen Powder

What is grass-fed collagen made from?

Collagen is the main structural protein in animal skin, bones and connective tissue. Grass-fed bovine collagen comes from cattle raised mainly on pasture rather than finished on grain in feedlots. The collagen powders in this collection are made from Australian grass-fed cattle and processed into a fine powder you can mix into everyday food and drinks.

Bovine collagen, beef collagen and collagen peptides: what's the difference?

Bovine collagen and beef collagen are the same thing: collagen from cattle. Bovine collagen is mainly Type I and Type III collagen.

Collagen peptides, also called hydrolysed collagen, are collagen that has been broken down into shorter protein chains. This lets the powder dissolve in hot or cold liquids. Gelatin is collagen that hasn't been broken down as far, which is why it sets into a gel and collagen peptides don't.

Collagen powder or whey protein?

Both are protein powders, but they're not interchangeable. Collagen is rich in the amino acids glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, but it contains no tryptophan, so it isn't a complete protein. Whey protein is a complete protein. Many people use collagen as an easy extra in coffee or baking and use whey for shakes. If you want a complete protein powder, see our grass-fed whey protein powder.

How to choose a collagen powder

• Flavour: unflavoured collagen is neutral, so it suits coffee, tea, soups and savoury cooking. Flavoured collagen is ready to drink in smoothies, milk or hot chocolate.
• Sweetener: check the ingredients for added sugar. Our flavoured options are sweetened with monk fruit.
• Dairy and allergens: collagen itself is dairy-free, but some flavoured blends add milk ingredients. Each product page lists its allergens.
• Price per serve: divide the price by the number of serves on the pack to compare pouch sizes and multi-packs fairly.
• Source: look for the animal source and country on the label, such as Australian grass-fed cattle.

How to use collagen powder
