Grass-Fed Collagen Powder

Collagen is a major component of the human body, making up around 30% of our total body protein. It’s the main structural protein in connective tissue such as ligaments and tendons. It’s also found in bones, nails, hair and makes up roughly 80% of our skin.

Collagen is the body’s most abundant structural protein, forming part of the connective framework found in skin, hair, nails, tendons, ligaments, bones and the gut lining. 

After around age 25, the body naturally produces about 1% less collagen per year, meaning by age 50, the average person may have lost around 50% of their natural collagen. This may lead to signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles, dry skin and hair, or joint pain, and is why many people choose to supplement with collagen for daily support. 

“Into my 5th month of taking 15g a day. I've really noticed my nails and cuticles are stronger and less dry. My hair is growing again.It was getting thinner after my menopause,I've been so down about it.I can't believe the difference already,I'd almost given up on trying to fix it.” - E.R.

“My husband and I have been taking this Collagen powder since April 25. Definitely noticing the difference now. My husband says his joints feel so much better. I've noticed hair growth, my nails are so much stronger and no longer breaking. We add it to our morning tea. One of our daily non-negotiables now.” - Gill S.

Our collagen is made up of types 1 and 3 because these are the types that naturally occur in bovine collagen, and we source ours from regeneratively farmed and grass-fed cattle, keeping the collagen as close to its natural state as possible. 

Type 1 is the main type of Collagen in the body associated with skin, hair, nails, bones and ligaments. Type 3 is associated with skin and bone.

Our grass fed collagen is hot and cold soluble, meaning it can be mixed into hot or cold drinks easily. Lots of people choose to mix it into their morning tea or coffee, or blend it into a smoothie. It can also be mixed into soups and stews, or stirred through yoghurt. 

Yes, we source our collagen from certified grass-fed cattle that roam freely outdoors on grass for as much of the year as weather conditions allow and are not exposed to hormones or any artificial chemicals.

This depends upon your health goals. Many people choose to combine the following supplements for maximum support for the following:

• Joints and bones: Collagen, Whole Bone Matrix, Bone Broth, Colostrum
• Hair, Skin & Nails: Collagen, Beef Liver, Bone Marrow, Colostrum
• Gut Health: Collagen, Colostrum, MCT oil, Digestive Organ Blend
• Exercise Performance & Recovery: Collagen, Beef Protein, Beef Organs

This all depends upon your goals. The beef protein works primarily to contribute to the growth of muscle mass and maintenance of normal bones. As well as helping to increase your protein intake through the day. However it does naturally contain collagen too.

The collagen is purely 100% hydrolysed collagen, so it gives you a more concentrated dose of this abundant structural protein, which forms part of the connective framework found in skin, hair, nails, tendons, ligaments, bones and the gut lining.

So essentially, it all depends upon your needs.

Also, traditionally we would have eaten a diet really high in collagen, which is not common in the modern world today - on that basis, taking both of the products at different times of day or even together helps mimic our ancestral nutrient intake to support optimal nutrition. This is something we do personally.

We don’t add synthetic vitamin C to our collagen as this isn't how we would have consumed collagen ancestrally. Although there’s a lot of hype at the moment about vitamin C being important for collagen synthesis, research shows that as long as you’re getting sufficient vitamin C in your diet already, there’s no need to consume it directly alongside collagen to make it work better for you. 

Many other companies add vitamin C to collagen because it’s a cheap way to bulk out the packet, and it sounds good to customers.

There are plenty of other co-factors that are important for collagen synthesis as well as vitamin C, such as vitamin A, zinc, copper, vitamin D, and B vitamins, all of which you can obtain through an animal-based diet and many of which you can get from our Beef Organs capsules.

Yes, here are the results from our latest batch: Ash content = 0.2 %, Heavy Metals = ≤ 50 ppm, Arsenic = ≤ 1 ppm, Cadmium = ≤ 0.5 ppm, Chromium = ≤ 10 ppm, Copper = ≤ 30 ppm, Mercury = ≤ 0.15 ppm, Lead = ≤ 3 ppm, Zinc = ≤ 30 ppm, Sulphur dioxide (SO2) = ≤ 10 ppm, Peroxide (as H2O2) = ≤ 10 ppm

These results are well below the legal limit and very safe to consume. All foods naturally contain small amounts of heavy metals like are seen here. However, it's important to avoid the consumption of foods that have unnaturally high levels.

Yes. All of our products are rigorously tested for microbiology and heavy metals to ensure they meet the highest quality standards and don’t contain anything you wouldn’t want to consume. Results can be found above in the Why Grass-Fed Collagen Powder drop down section above (next to the main product images).

If you are doing a water fast with zero calories, then collagen will break the fast, as a serving contains a small amount of calories. However, if your fasting goals are autophagy or healing your gut microbiome, you can take the supplements without negatively impacting those goals.

Our collagen is sourced from grass fed cattle from Switzerland. The farms they come from are regenerative, meaning the cattle a free to roam and consume a natural diet of fresh grass and forage.

1) Oral Collagen Peptide Supplementation & Skin Hydration / Dermal Network — Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology (2015)

Authors’ conclusion (summary):
Across two placebo-controlled trials, the authors report that oral collagen peptide supplementation significantly increased skin hydration (after 8 weeks), increased dermal collagen density, and reduced fragmentation of the dermal collagen network (with effects observed from ~4 weeks and persisting through 12 weeks). They conclude that oral collagen peptides were effective at improving hallmarks of skin ageing in their study context. 

2) Collagen Supplementation & Skin / Orthopaedic Outcomes (Review) — Heliyon (2023)

Authors’ conclusion (summary):
The review concludes that published studies report beneficial effects of collagen supplementation on skin outcomes(e.g., wrinkles, elasticity, hydration and measures related to collagen content/synthesis) and on orthopaedic outcomes (e.g., measures related to bone strength/density/mineral mass and joint symptoms such as pain/stiffness/mobility and function). The authors also emphasise that future studies are needed to clarify mechanisms (signalling pathways) and address remaining gaps. 

3) Human Clinical Research on Collagen & Sleep - European Journal of Nutrition (2023)

Authors’ conclusion (summary):

The authors conclude that short-term supplementation with collagen peptides before bedtime was associated with a reduction in sleep fragmentation, reflected by fewer awakenings during the night in physically active males with sleep complaints. They also report some improvement in next-day cognitive performance measures. However, overall sleep duration and sleep efficiency were not significantly altered, and the authors note that further research is needed to confirm these findings and clarify underlying mechanisms.

4) Collagen Peptides & Bone / Musculoskeletal Health (Meta-analysis) — Frontiers in Nutrition (2025)

Authors’ conclusion (summary):
This meta-analysis concludes that collagen peptide supplementation—especially when combined with calcium and vitamin D—is associated with improvements in bone mineral density (notably spine and femoral neck), plus consistent positive effects on bone turnover markers and some muscle performance outcomes. The authors suggest collagen peptides could be considered an adjunct in bone health strategies for at-risk groups (e.g., postmenopausal women), while noting heterogeneity in some outcomes and a need for further trials. 

5) Digestive Symptoms Study (Open-Label Human Trial) - JMIR Formative Research (2022)

Authors’ conclusion (summary):

The authors conclude that daily collagen peptide supplementation over an eight-week period was associated with self-reported improvements in mild digestive symptoms, such as bloating, among the participants who completed the study. They emphasise that the findings are preliminary due to the open-label design, small sample size and lack of placebo control, and they recommend that larger, controlled clinical trials are needed to better understand any potential role of collagen peptides in digestive health.

(1) referenced study from above Science of Collagen section on skin hydration and firmness can be found here, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.

(2) In a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in adults with knee osteoarthritis, subjects received hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides from bovine bone alongside a porcine skin collagen peptide arm and placebo.

In a randomised, placebo-controlled, crossover trial with 13 physically active male adults who reported sleep complaints, participants consumed 15g per day of bovine collagen peptides (bovine source) or a placebo 1 hour before bedtime for 7 nights. Results found that the participants supplementing with collagen woke up fewer times through the night, versus placebo.
