100% Grass Fed Collagen Peptide Protein Powder - Support for Gut, Skin, Eyes and Nails
$40.77
Regular price $31.77
A 2023 meta-analysis of 26 randomized trials in 1,721 people found daily oral collagen peptides improved measured skin hydration and elasticity. A separate 12-week trial at 5 g a day supported knee comfort in active adults. This is that protein, unflavored, from 100% grass-fed and grass-finished cattle.
For adults adding daily protein without another flavored shake. One pound, unflavored, mixes into coffee, broth, soup, smoothies, or baked goods.
- 100% Grass-Fed & Finished
- Type I & III
- Lab Tested
- Unflavored
- Hydrolyzed Peptides
- No Flavors
- No Sweeteners
- No Fillers
- No Seed Oils
Why people use it
- Amino acids for protein synthesis. Collagen supplies the glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline pattern that muscle meat is short on.
- Skin hydration and elasticity. This is the outcome with real pooled human data. A 2023 meta-analysis of 26 randomized trials in 1,721 people found daily oral collagen supported measured skin hydration and elasticity.
- Joint comfort over the long haul. A 12-week trial in 180 physically active adults used 5 g a day and reported better activity-related knee comfort than placebo.
- Protein you will actually take. Unflavored and non-gelling, so it goes into coffee, broth, or oatmeal without changing them. Protein you skip does not count.
What you're getting
We don't have a scoop size or grams of protein per serving to publish yet, so we're not going to print one. Here is what is in the bag and what each part contributes.
| Ingredient | What it contributes |
|---|---|
| Hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptides (Type I & III) | Protein in short peptide form. Types I and III are the fiber types most abundant in skin, bone, and connective tissue. |
| Glycine, proline, hydroxyproline | The amino acid pattern collagen is built on, and the one a muscle-meat-heavy diet supplies least of. |
| Nothing else | No flavors, sweeteners, thickeners, or flow agents. One line on the ingredient panel. |
No per-serving protein amount or lot-specific assay is published for this bag. Ask us for the current certificate of analysis.
How to use
- Stir into coffee, tea, broth, or a smoothie. It dissolves hot or cold and does not gel.
- Cooks and bakes fine: soups, sauces, oatmeal, muffins.
- Start with a small amount and work up. A large protein hit all at once is what causes discomfort.
- Trial doses run roughly 2.6-10 g a day, with skin trials as low as 0.6 g. Check the physical label for the scoop size.
- Joint work is a long game.
Sourcing & making
Collagen peptides from 100% grass-fed and grass-finished cattle, hydrolyzed into short peptides so they disperse in liquid instead of setting up. Lab tested for purity before it is bagged. Unflavored, with nothing added for texture or taste. One ingredient on the label because one is what is in the bag.
Full ingredients
- 100% Lab-Tested Grass-Fed Bovine Collagen Peptide Protein Powder (Type I & III fibers)
Who it's for — and who it isn't
Good fit for:
- Adults who want more daily protein without another flavored shake
- People whose diet is heavy on muscle meat and light on the connective-tissue cuts
- Practitioners who want a single-ingredient protein to add to an existing routine
Probably not for you if:
- You avoid beef-derived ingredients. This is bovine, and there is no vegetarian version of it.
- You need to count protein grams precisely. No per-serving amount is published for this bag yet.
- Children, unless a qualified practitioner is guiding it.
Testing & quality
Every product is lab tested. Certificates of analysis on request, about a 2-week turnaround. Email us with your lot number and we'll start it.

Hydrolyzed grass-fed bovine collagen peptides (Type I & III)
Effects of Oral Collagen for Skin Anti-Aging: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Nutrients · 2023 · meta-analysis · n=26 randomized controlled trials, 1,721 participants
Pooling 26 randomized trials with 1,721 participants, oral hydrolyzed collagen improved measured skin hydration and skin elasticity versus placebo, with effect sizes varying by collagen source and length of supplementation.
Hydrolyzed grass-fed bovine collagen peptides (Type I)
Collagen peptides knee comfort trial, 2021
Nutrients · 2021 · RCT · n=180 completers (98 collagen, 82 placebo)
In a 12-week double-blind randomized trial in 180 physically active adults, 5 g/day of collagen peptides reduced activity-related knee discomfort more than placebo on a visual analogue scale (-21.9 mm vs -15.6 mm, p = 0.024).
Hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptides
Effects of Hydrolyzed Collagen as a Dietary Supplement on Fibroblast Activation: A Systematic Review
Nutrients · 2024 · systematic review · n=11 studies
Across 11 included studies, hydrolyzed collagen at 50-500 ug/mL stimulated fibroblast proliferation in human and animal tissue without toxicity, and lower-molecular-weight peptides showed better delivery to tissue.
Evidence note: Strong for skin hydration and elasticity and moderate for joint comfort: both outcomes rest on pooled randomized human trials, though the trials use branded peptide preparations rather than this specific powder.
FAQ
What does Type I and III mean?
Those are the fiber types the raw material is drawn from, the two most abundant in skin, bone, and connective tissue. After hydrolysis it is a mixture of short peptides, so the type describes the source rather than what your body rebuilds with it.
How much should I use?
The page does not state a serving size, so start low. Check the physical label and build up gradually.
Will it thicken my coffee?
No. Hydrolyzed peptides disperse in hot or cold liquid without gelling. That is the whole point of hydrolyzing them. Unflavored gelatin would gel; this will not.
Is it a complete protein?
No. Collagen is low in tryptophan and is not a substitute for the protein in whole food. Use it alongside meat, eggs, and fish, not instead of them.
What does it do for the gut?
Mechanism first: collagen is roughly a third glycine and carries glutamine and proline, the amino acids the gut lining draws on to renew itself. That is why people eating a muscle-meat-heavy diet add it back. The pooled human trials in the research drop-down measure skin hydration, skin elasticity, and knee comfort; the gut lining case is an amino-acid supply argument, and we would rather show you which is which.
Pairs well with
- 100% Grass-Fed Beef Liver — whole-food copper, which NIH lists among the cofactors for connective tissue enzymes
- Camu Camu Powder — whole-food vitamin C, a cofactor your body uses to build its own collagen
- FIQ Recuperate (Copper & Boron) — the copper side of the same connective-tissue story
Cautions
- Too much protein at one time may cause digestive discomfort. Increase gradually rather than starting at a full scoop.
- Store cool and dry, away from direct sunlight. Best within 12 months of opening.
