Collagen peptides, also widely known as hydrolyzed collagen, represent a highly digestible protein form manufactured via structural enzymatic hydrolysis of native collagen. Native collagen, a key structural protein representing roughly 30% of the total mammalian protein body mass, is composed of a rigid triple-helix structure characterized by high molecular weights (approx. 300 kDa). To unlock its physiological and formulation utility, specialized industrial processes fragment these long peptide chains into shorter, bioactive chains—typically ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 Daltons (Da).
Due to this targeted reduction in molecular size, collagen peptides exhibit high cold-water solubility, remarkably low viscosity at high concentrations, and extreme thermal stability, making them compatible with diverse manufacturing processes. Bioactive peptides interact directly with human cells, particularly dermal fibroblasts and osteoblasts, by triggering cellular signals via integrin receptors. This activity triggers the endogenous production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in target tissues, offering therapeutic benefits across functional beverages, clinical nutrition, personal care, and systemic anti-aging formulations.

The international collagen peptides industry is experiencing a significant shift in formulation and raw material specifications. No longer just a buzzword in cosmetic cosmetics, bioactive peptides are increasingly used in targeted clinical treatments and functional food applications. This growth is driven by three major market developments:
Oral ingestion of hydrolyzed collagen peptides has become standard practice. Global brands are using marine and bovine collagen peptides to formulate liquid collagen shots, ready-to-mix powders, and chewable gummies. The focus has shifted toward highly specific peptide profiles with an average molecular weight under 2000 Da to optimize intestinal absorption.
With a growing global elderly demographic, formulations targeting joint and bone mineral density are expanding rapidly. Bioactive Type II collagen peptides are key in protecting cartilage structures and reducing joint pain. Formulators combine collagen with joint health ingredients like chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine, and hyaluronic acid to create synergistic effects.
Global buyers expect clear documentation on sourcing, manufacturing processes, and ingredient safety. Regulatory demands from the US FDA, European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and agencies in APAC require strict pesticide and heavy metal verification, and BSE/TSE-free certification. Sustainable, ethically sourced raw materials with non-GMO status are now industry standard.
Procurement directors and formulation scientists analyze physical, chemical, and biological criteria to guarantee consistency across production batches. Our facility meets these strict industry requirements, ensuring smooth customs processing and reliable end-product performance.

Entering international markets requires alignment with strict regional food and cosmetic safety standards. We maintain a robust regulatory portfolio to simplify imports and compliance for our global partners.
Depending on your application (functional food bars, tablets, or liquid skin care), the required density and particle size of collagen will vary. Our production facilities can adjust spray drying parameters to match your specifications. This allows us to supply customized solutions, from high-density, dust-free granulated powders to fine, instant-dissolving powders.
Modern ingredient manufacturing requires a balance of safety, cost control, and ecological responsibility. By utilizing Smart Factory 4.0 standards at our Shanxi manufacturing site, we integrate automated raw material preparation, closed-loop enzymatic systems, and real-time monitoring to optimize processing efficiency.
Our automated hydrolysis lines dynamically manage pH, temperature, and enzyme ratios, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency. High-capacity membrane filtration and modern evaporation plants concentrate the active peptide solutions without heat degradation. This protects the delicate peptide profiles and limits thermal damage, delivering a neutral-tasting ingredient with minimal color.
By sourcing raw materials from local suppliers, we maintain stable production schedules and shield clients from international logistics challenges. Additionally, our automated waste management and heat-recovery systems lower water and energy consumption, supporting our sustainability goals. This focus on efficiency allows us to absorb global price fluctuations and provide consistent bulk pricing.

We extract collagen peptides from bovine hide and bones (grass-fed, pasture-raised), marine fish skin and scales (wild-caught and aquaculture), and poultry cartilage. Every raw material batch undergoes strict veterinary controls, trace inspections, and pathogen screening. This allows us to supply BSE/TSE-free products that comply with regional food safety regulations.
Yes, our R&D center specializes in targeting specific molecular weight ranges using controlled enzymatic hydrolysis. We can produce ultra-low weights (under 1000 Da) for high-absorption nutricosmetics, standard weights (1000–2000 Da) for beverages, and medium weights (2000–3000 Da) for specialized clinical products. Each order includes a chromatographical profile report.
We use multi-stage ceramic filtration, activated carbon adsorption, and vacuum deaeration to remove lipid residues, volatile compounds, and salts from our collagen solutions. This processes yields a highly neutral, odor-free powder that dissolves easily. It allows manufacturers to flavor and formulate products without using excessive masking agents.
Our facilities and production lines are audited and certified by recognized Halal and Kosher certification bodies. We maintain strict segregation, equipment sanitation, and ingredient tracking. This ensures full compliance with religious dietary laws and supports smooth regulatory approval for imports into the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Western markets.
Standard bulk powder orders generally ship within 10 to 15 working days. For custom OEM/ODM projects (involving custom formulations, granulations, or private label packaging), timelines range from 25 to 35 days. This includes pilot testing, stability evaluations, and design approvals, ensuring efficient and reliable supply chain support.
