Products Introduction
Bovine Collagen is Type I & III collagen powder from bovine hide/bone via enzymatic hydrolysis; no fish allergen, while BSE/TSE and slaughter certificates are key for global markets.
Our food-grade powder meets GB 31645-2018 with protein ≥90% and hydroxyproline ≥3.0%. Custom specs are available, each batch with COA.
Suitable for supplements, drinks and multiple dosage forms. MOQ 25kg for trial orders, FOB/CIF Qingdao, full compliance documents on request.

Key Benefits of Bovine Collagen
- Water soluble and easy to formulate
Bovine Collagen dissolves readily in water, so it drops into a beverage, a sachet blend or a liquid-filled softgel without a dispersion step. That keeps processing simple and avoids the grit and sediment that poorly soluble proteins leave behind.
- Low odour and clean taste
The hydrolysis and filtration steps remove most of the animal note, so the powder stays close to neutral. Formulators can hold the flavour profile of a drink, a gummy or a jelly while still carrying a collagen dose on the label.
- Mainly Type I collagen, rich in the three key amino acids
It is mainly Type I collagen, the type found in skin, tendon and bone, with Type III also present in hide-derived material. Glycine, proline and hydroxyproline make up a large share of the peptides, and hydroxyproline is the marker an incoming goods lab uses to confirm the ingredient is genuine collagen peptide rather than a plain protein filler.
- Not a major allergen
Bovine collagen is not on the EU or US list of major allergens, so a finished product made with it does not carry an allergen declaration for the collagen itself. For brands that want a collagen without the fish allergen, this keeps the ingredient list and the label clean.
- A mature, well-understood collagen source
Bovine collagen has the longest history in supplements and functional foods, so buyers, formulators and contract manufacturers already know how it behaves in a formula. That shortens development time for capsules, tablets, powders and drinks.
Certifications and Compliance
We can supply Halal, Kosher, ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000 certificates depending on your order. COA, TDS, MSDS, GMO statements and BSE/TSE declarations are available upon request. Certificate samples are attached. Just share your target market and application, and our team will confirm which documents apply to your project.
Packaging and Supply
- Standard packaging
20 kg net bag with a food grade PE liner. Smaller pack sizes and palletised shipments are available.
- Loading
The main port is Qingdao. Shanghai, Tianjin and Guangdong can be arranged depending on terms and logistics. A 20' FCL holds around 10-12 MT with pallets; the exact figure depends on the packaging and is confirmed per order.
- MOQ
25 kg. Send us your application, target molecular weight range, mesh, packaging and destination port.
- Delivery time
Stock items can often ship quickly.
- Terms
EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF or other Incoterms, depending on the shipment.
- Storage conditions
Store in a cool, dry, dark and clean environment. Keep the container tightly sealed. Avoid direct sunlight, high humidity, heat and strong odors.
Customization
We can adjust molecular weight range, mesh & particle size, odor, solubility and low-protein level within our production capabilities. We also offer custom packaging, private labeling and mixed container shipments. Share your target specs, end product and target market, and our team will confirm available options plus supporting documentation.
FAQ
Q: Can you provide a COA for Bovine Collagen?
A: Yes. We issue batch-specific COAs for every shipment, on request. Each one covers protein, hydroxyproline, total nitrogen, ash, moisture, heavy metals and microbiology.
Q: Can I request a sample before placing an order?
A: Yes. Tell us the application, the quantity you need, your company name, shipping address and destination market. Sample supply and courier arrangements are confirmed separately.
Q: Is Bovine Collagen the same as bovine collagen peptide?
A: Yes. Bovine Collagen, bovine collagen peptide and bovine collagen hydrolysate all describe the same ingredient: collagen from cattle hide or bone, broken down by hydrolysis into short peptides. The CAS number is 9007-34-5.
Q: What is the difference between bovine collagen and marine collagen?
A: Bovine collagen comes from cattle and marine collagen from fish. Bovine carries no fish allergen and has the longest history in supplements, but it needs BSE/TSE documentation and, for Halal or Kosher buyers, evidence of the slaughter route. Marine carries no BSE or TSE risk and is easier for Halal and Kosher, but fish is a major allergen that must be declared.
Q: Is Bovine Collagen an allergen?
A: No. Bovine is not on the EU or US list of major allergens, so the collagen itself does not require an allergen declaration. Please confirm the final label wording with your own regulatory advisor for your market.
Q: Do you provide a BSE and TSE declaration?
A: Yes, we can provide a BSE/TSE-free declaration on request. Note that major importers also look at the source country's official BSE risk status, so please tell us the destination market and we will confirm the full document set.
Q: Is Bovine Collagen Halal and Kosher?
A: Only where the source animal was slaughtered under the corresponding rule and no porcine-derived enzyme is used in hydrolysis. Fish collagen is acceptable by default, but bovine is not, so we confirm the certificate route in writing for the specific order.
Q: What molecular weight do you supply?
A: The material meets GB 31645-2018, which requires at least 90% of the peptides to be below 10,000 Da, and the typical commercial range is 1,000-3,000 Da. Tell us the range your product calls for and we will confirm what is available.
Q: Can I make skin, joint or anti-ageing claims on my label?
A: Not for the collagen itself in the EU or UK, where there is no authorised health claim for collagen. Vitamin C does hold an authorised claim for normal collagen formation, which is why it is often part of the same formula. Confirm all claims against the target market's rules before printing.
Q: How should Bovine Collagen be stored after delivery?
A: Sealed, in a cool, dry, dark and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight, moisture, heat and strong odours. Reseal opened bags promptly.
Q: Can you supply customised specifications?
A: Yes. Molecular weight range, mesh, odour, packaging and documentation can be matched to your target, subject to production confirmation and order quantity.
