What Are Collagen Peptides?

Collagen peptides are collagen that has been broken down into smaller pieces through a process called hydrolysis. You'll also see them labelled as hydrolysed collagen or collagen hydrolysate. Most collagen peptide powders are unflavoured and dissolve easily in hot or cold drinks, so they're simple to add to your daily routine.

At Nutrition Warehouse, we stock collagen peptides from bovine, marine and multi-source collagen, from trusted Australian and international brands.

Types of Collagen Peptides

Collagen peptides mainly differ by where the collagen comes from and what's added to the formula. Here's how they compare:

Collagen content and ingredients vary by product, so always check the label.

Collagen Peptides vs Collagen Protein Powder

Collagen peptides are usually pure or near-pure collagen, with a small serve that mixes into coffee, tea or water. Collagen protein powders are flavoured protein shakes made with collagen, often blended with whey, and are designed to help you reach your daily protein target.

Who Are Collagen Peptides For?

• Coffee and tea drinkers: unflavoured collagen peptides stir into your morning coffee without changing the taste.
• Smoothie and baking fans: an easy way to add collagen to smoothies, oats and recipes.
• People who want a simple formula: pure collagen peptides with no added flavours or sweeteners.
• Active people: many people add collagen peptides to their daily routine alongside training.

How to Choose Collagen Peptides

1. Source: choose bovine, marine or multi-source collagen depending on your diet and preference. Collagen peptides are not vegan.
2. Pure or with added ingredients: some formulas are 100% collagen peptides, while others add ingredients such as vitamin C.
3. Unflavoured or flavoured: unflavoured powders are the most versatile for coffee, food and smoothies.
4. Collagen per serve: compare how much collagen each scoop provides on the nutrition panel.
5. Size and cost per serve: larger tubs usually work out cheaper per serve.

How to Take Collagen Peptides

Read the label and follow the directions for use. Most collagen peptide powders are taken as one serve a day, stirred into water, coffee, tea, a smoothie or juice. Because hydrolysed collagen peptides dissolve in hot and cold liquids, adding collagen peptides to coffee is one of the most popular ways to take them.
