Australian Collagen Hydrolysate
Frequently Asked Questions
Nutraviva Australian Collagen Hydrolysate is sourced from pasture-raised Australian cattle, providing a locally sourced collagen option with full traceability. Produced using Australian raw materials, it offers an alternative to imported collagen products while maintaining the convenience and versatility of hydrolysed collagen peptides. Australian Collagen Hydrolysate also has a naturally creamy colour and a slightly more pronounced taste and aroma compared to our Brazilian-sourced Collagen Hydrolysate.
Australian Collagen Hydrolysate is a convenient source of protein and collagen peptides that can be easily incorporated into everyday wellness routines. Naturally rich in Type I and Type III collagen, it is commonly used to support healthy skin, hair and nails, maintain bone and joint health, and increase daily protein intake. Its versatile format makes it easy to add to coffee, smoothies, recipes, and other foods and beverages.
Nutraviva Australian Collagen Hydrolysate has a slightly stronger natural taste and aroma than our Brazilian-sourced Collagen Hydrolysate due to differences in sourcing and processing. It also has a naturally creamy colour rather than the brighter appearance of our original Collagen Hydrolysate. Many customers enjoy Australian Collagen Hydrolysate in smoothies, soups, and recipes, while those seeking the most neutral flavour profile often prefer our Brazilian-sourced Collagen Hydrolysate.
The primary difference between the two products is their sourcing origin and natural flavour profile. Our original Collagen Hydrolysate is sourced from grass-fed Brazilian cattle and is known for its neutral taste and bright appearance. Australian Collagen Hydrolysate is sourced from pasture-raised Australian cattle and has a naturally creamier colour with a slightly more pronounced taste and aroma. Both products provide Type I and Type III collagen peptides and can be incorporated into everyday wellness routines.
The recommended serving size is one tablespoon (approximately 10g) per serve. Australian Collagen Hydrolysate can be added to coffee, tea, smoothies, water, soups, baking, and other recipes. Because it is hydrolysed, it dissolves easily in both hot and cold liquids.
Australian Collagen Hydrolysate is free from gluten, dairy, soy, and wheat. It is suitable for a range of dietary preferences, including Paleo and Keto lifestyles. Customers with specific dietary requirements should refer to the product page for the most up-to-date ingredient and certification information.
Collagen Hydrolysate and Gelatin are both derived from collagen and contain a similar amino acid profile, but they behave differently in foods and beverages. Collagen Hydrolysate has been broken down into smaller collagen peptides, allowing it to dissolve easily in both hot and cold liquids without changing the texture. Gelatin has not been hydrolysed to the same extent and will dissolve in hot liquids before forming a gel as it cools. This makes Collagen Hydrolysate ideal for coffee, smoothies, and everyday drinks, while Gelatin is commonly used in gummies, desserts, jellies, and other recipes where a gel texture is desired.
The main difference between bovine collagen and marine collagen is their source. Nutraviva Collagen Hydrolysate is sourced from pasture-raised bovine collagen, while Nutraviva Marine Collagen is sourced from wild-caught North Atlantic cod skin. Both provide collagen peptides and can be easily incorporated into everyday wellness routines. Nutritionally, the two products are similar, with the primary difference being their source.
Yes. Nutraviva has independently tested our bovine collagen products for the presence of Bovaer and Rumin8 compounds. No detectable traces were found in the finished products tested. We understand that many customers value transparency around sourcing and testing, which is why we continue to monitor the quality of our collagen products.
