How it works
Production process
Our collagen peptides are sourced from animal materials such as bovine, porcine, and fish hides/skins. They are extracted through hydrolysis from these raw materials, the collagen peptides are processed and broken down into smaller, digestible fragments through a gentle enzymatic treatment to achieve the desired molecular weight. After this enzymatic treatment, the resulting liquid hydrolysate is spray-dried to produce the final collagen peptide powder.
Every stage of the process occurs under strict hygienic conditions, with no chemical modification involved at any stage.
