Bovine collagen peptides: A key ingredient to stand-out health, beauty, and fitness solutions

On today’s nutraceutical market, stand-out health, fitness, or beauty supplements are characterized by ingredients that are sustainable and safe, with a clear, science-backed impact. Add cost-effectiveness and formulation-friendliness into the mix, and you have a recipe for nutraceutical success.

What are bovine collagen peptides?

Rousselot’s collagen peptides come in three source varieties, namely fish, porcine, and bovine. Bovine collagen peptides are a popular variety, made from the most commonly used origin source in the supplement market. Like other varieties, bovine collagen peptides are made by upcycling 100% natural animal sources by breaking down the bonds in native collagen, transforming it into smaller, more bioavailable peptides. Valued for their health, fitness, beauty, and holistic benefits, bovine collagen peptides are used in a diverse range of popular applications across the world.
