소 콜라겐 펩타이드 is the most widely produced form of hydrolyzed collagen globally, derived from type I collagen of grass-fed or grain-fed cattle hides, split hides, or bones. The unique amino acid profile — dominated by glycine (~22%), proline (~13%), and hydroxyproline (~10%) — provides building blocks for endogenous collagen biosynthesis and delivers bioactive peptides (Pro-Hyp, Hyp-Gly) that stimulate fibroblast collagen production. Clinical research documents benefits for skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkle reduction, joint pain and cartilage support, bone mineral density, nail and hair strength, and recovery from injury.
Daily doses of 5–15 g are typically consumed. Production: hide/bone → limed/acid pretreatment → gelatin extraction → enzymatic hydrolysis → filtration → spray drying. Kosher, halal, and non-GMO grades available. Meets FDA GRAS, EU Novel Food (traditional), and ISO 22000 manufacturing standards.
