What is the difference between Organic Collagen Peptides and collagen hydrolysate?

Follow

There is no difference. Organic Collagen Peptides is a form of hydrolyzed collagen, also known as collagen hydrolysate or collagen peptides.

These terms describe the same type of collagen protein, although different manufacturers may use different names on their labels.

What does "hydrolyzed collagen" mean?

Hydrolysis is the process used to break down larger collagen proteins into smaller collagen peptides.

This makes the collagen powder easier to mix into foods and beverages and gives it the form commonly used in collagen peptide supplements.

Organic Collagen Peptides is made from collagen-rich bovine hides and is enzymatically hydrolyzed into collagen peptides.

Is collagen hydrolysate the same as collagen peptides?

Yes. The terms collagen hydrolysate, hydrolyzed collagen, and collagen peptides are commonly used interchangeably to describe collagen that has undergone hydrolysis.

So, if you see "collagen hydrolysate" on another product label, that does not necessarily mean it is a different type of collagen from our Organic Collagen Peptides. You would need to compare the source, collagen type, processing, certifications, and other product specifications.

How is Natural Force Organic Collagen Peptides different?

Collagen peptides vs. gelatin

Collagen peptides and gelatin both come from collagen, but they are processed differently.

Gelatin forms a gel when cooled and is commonly used in cooking and food preparation.

Collagen peptides have been hydrolyzed into smaller peptides and remain soluble, making them convenient to mix into hot or cold foods and beverages.
