Collagen Protein Wholesale

What is Collagen Protein?

Collagen protein comes from animal parts like skin, bones, and cartilage. It is made from materials such as cow hides, fish scales, and poultry. These materials are processed into smaller peptides to make them easier to dissolve and absorb. Collagen contains important amino acids like glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. These amino acids support joint health, skin elasticity, and the strength of connective tissues.

Types, Varieties & Forms

Collagen protein comes in different forms, including:

• Collagen Peptides (Hydrolyzed Collagen): This form dissolves quickly in liquids and is easy to absorb. It’s often found in supplements, drinks, and special foods.
• Collagen Concentrate or Native Collagen: This is less processed and keeps more of its natural structure.

Sources of Collagen:

• 'Bovine' Collagen: Made from cow hides and bones.
• 'Marine' Collagen: Comes from fish and is known for being absorbed well.
• 'Porcine' Collagen: Made from pigs and used in food and beauty products.

These collagen types can be offered with or without flavors. They are found in protein bars, drink powders, gummies, and beauty supplements. When bought in bulk, collagen is usually in powdered form, intended for the supplements industry.

Harvest Season

Collagen protein is not influenced by seasonal changes. It comes from by-products of the meat and seafood industries. This means it can be produced and is available throughout the year in supply chains around the world.

‍

Producing Countries

The main areas for collagen production are:

• United States: This country has the largest market for bovine collagen because of its strong beef industry.
• Brazil: Known for being a major exporter of bovine hides.
• Japan and Norway: They are leading producers of marine collagen.

Germany, France, and Italy are also important for collagen processing in Europe.

North America has the largest market share, largely because of the high demand for collagen supplements in the U.S. This is mainly due to an aging population and a growing interest in health and beauty products.

‍

Trends

Collagen protein is becoming popular as more people seek health and beauty supplements. Many are interested in products that support joints, fight aging, and improve overall wellness. While most collagen comes from animals, there is increasing interest in vegan collagen boosters. These products often include ingredients that help the body make its own collagen.

Organic Collagen Protein

Organic collagen is still a niche product because it can be hard to source and certify. However, some suppliers on Nutrada offer organic-certified bovine collagen. This collagen comes from grass-fed cattle that meet EU Organic or USDA Organic standards.
