Choose the Right Collagen for You: A Comparison of our Collagen Hydrolysate Powders
At Nutraviva, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality collagen products that support your health and wellness. With the recent launch of our Australian Collagen Hydrolysate, you now have the choice between two premium collagen powders: our original grass-fed Collagen Hydrolysate and the new 100% Australian-sourced version.
Both products deliver the same health benefits of Type I and III collagen, but their sourcing and production processes offer unique features.
Collagen Powder Sourcing: Australia vs. Brazil
Nutraviva original Collagen Hydrolysate is sourced from grass-fed and grass-finished cattle in Brazil. This means that the cattle graze on pasture for their entire lives, ensuring a product that’s as natural and sustainable as possible.
Nutraviva Australian Collagen Hydrolysate is sourced from pasture-raised cattle in the New South Wales Central West region. While the cattle remain on pasture for the majority of their lives, the term ‘grass-finished’ isn't used because, during certain times such as drought conditions, they may be finished on grain to ensure their well-being.
Grass-Fed vs. Grass-Finished Collagen Powder
Our original Collagen Hydrolysate comes with the assurance that the cattle are grass-fed and finished, meaning they are entirely pasture-fed until processing. This is possible due to the more predictable climate conditions in Brazil, allowing cattle to remain on pasture year-round.
Our Australian Collagen Hydrolysate is labelled as grass-fed and pasture-raised, which reflects the realities of cattle farming in Australia. While the cattle are pasture-raised and spend the majority of their lives on grass, the potential for seasonal changes such as drought may require supplementary grain feed. This seasonal variability is why we haven't made the grass-finished claim on our packaging, even though there are currently no drought conditions affecting collagen production in the New South Wales Central West region.
Shared Benefits: Types I and III Collagen
Both of Nutraviva’s hydrolysed collagen powders deliver the same incredible benefits:
- Support for bone and joint health, muscle recovery, and gut health.
- Promote radiant skin, strong hair, and healthy nails.
- Enhanced bioavailability, meaning that the collagen peptides are easily absorbed and used by your body.
Which Collagen Powder Should You Choose?
One of the standout features of Nutraviva Australian Collagen Hydrolysate is its enhanced solubility and slightly smaller peptide size, making it easier for your body to absorb. The collagen peptides in this product are carefully processed to a smaller molecular size, ensuring faster dissolution in liquids and superior bioavailability. This means that whether you’re mixing it into water, smoothies, or coffee, it dissolves quickly and efficiently, providing your body with the amino acids needed to support collagen formation and deliver benefits faster.
The choice between Nutraviva’s original Collagen Hydrolysate and the Australian Collagen Hydrolysate ultimately depends on your preferences. If you prefer a product that is grass-finished, our original collagen from Brazil is an excellent choice. If you’re looking to support local Australian agriculture and want a product sourced from right here in Australia, our Australian Collagen Hydrolysate is perfect for you.
Both products offer the same high-quality collagen you expect from Nutraviva, ensuring your body receives the best support for skin, joints, gut health, and well-being.
