Collagen Peptide Powder
Hydrolyzed Collagen
The Building Block for Skin, Joints & Vitality
Source & Overview
Collagen peptides are derived from animal connective tissues (bovine, marine, poultry, or porcine) through hydrolysis, breaking down collagen proteins into smaller, bioavailable peptides. This odorless, tasteless powder is a popular supplement for supporting skin, hair, nails, joints, and gut health.
