Let us introduce you to the purest Hydrolysed Bovine Collagen
Hydrolysed Collagen (Bovine) Powder is a product from the brand RawSeries by HSN, specifically designed for people looking to add a high-quality collagen peptide supplement to their daily nutrition.
Collagen is a protein widely present in structures like skin, mucous membranes, hair, cartilage, etc. It’s spread throughout the human body as it’s the main fibrous protein in our system and makes up more than 90% of the total protein content in our body. The most representative collagens are types I and III for skin, and type II for joints.
HSN’s Hydrolysed Bovine Collagen Powder is pure collagen peptides mainly of types I and III, with Type I collagen being the predominant in its natural composition.
Here’s why this collagen is unique
It provides several types of collagen. Mainly Type I and III
Hydrolysed collagen can come in many types; there are over 10 types of collagen, and not all have the same properties.
Type I collagen is the most consumed, as it’s the most significant and dosed in gram amounts.
Type II collagen is also consumed due to its presence in joint cartilage, but it’s dosed in milligrams and cannot be hydrolysed; it remains undenatured. At HSN, you’ll find it as UC-II® 40mg.
HSN’s hydrolysed bovine collagen provides a high dose of pure collagen in peptide form with a predominant structure of the most relevant collagen: Type I.
It also contains type III collagen in its composition, making it ideal for multiple purposes and uses, including culinary ones, since it’s flavorless and can be used to significantly boost the protein content of keto and paleo recipes, especially.
Free from fish, shellfish, and crustacean allergens. Bovine origin
Type I collagen is usually sourced from marine collagen, meaning it comes from fish scales and bones.
This has several downsides:
The first is the taste, which we’ll cover later; but since it comes from fish, it carries allergens like fish, shellfish, and crustaceans, making much of the collagen on the market unsuitable for people allergic to these foods.
Also, fish are highly exposed to marine contaminants, posing a health risk if not properly controlled, and unfortunately, many companies don’t do this.
Our hydrolysed collagen is of bovine origin, which is perfect for nutritional use since its taste is better, it’s allergen-free, and thanks to strict quality control during collagen production and its origin, it’s naturally free from any contaminants or residues, making it 100% pure collagen.
From pasture-raised cows. No hormones or antibiotics used
Collagen is a native protein of animals’ fibrous structures. That’s why vegan collagen doesn’t exist, even though many companies label amino acid blends as such when they really aren’t. You can read more about this in this article on our blog.
Bovine collagen must meet quality standards that HSN guarantees, but we don’t stop there. Even though it’s not required, we prefer collagen from cows that have had a healthier lifestyle, based on less intensive housing conditions and a mixed diet of feed and natural pasture.
We believe that if the cows providing the collagen powder you’ll consume have had an optimal lifestyle, free from stress and treatments with hormones and antibiotics, just like a steak is juicier and nutritionally better; the collagen is better too.
That’s why the raw material we source collagen from is of the highest quality, not scraps like other companies use, but first-class connective tissue of food-grade quality.
Suitable for all kinds of diets: Paleo, Ketogenic, Zone, Low-Carb, Atkins, etc.
Hydrolysed collagen, thanks to the absence of any additives, is a food suitable for all dietary preferences.
Due to its animal origin, not dependent on cultivation, it’s perfect for followers of the Paleolithic diet ('Paleo Diet').
It also contains no carbohydrates or sugars, just pure collagen peptides (protein), making it the perfect supplement for muscle-building diets with high protein intake, and for those based on carbohydrate restriction: such as Atkins, low-carb diets, and Ketogenic diets.
We also offer a collagen more suitable for the ketogenic diet, containing high-quality MCTs in its composition. Try our Keto Collagen with MCT.
Not as salty as other market options thanks to our unique development
When collagen is isolated from the connective tissues of the raw material and especially when hydrolysed for absorption in the human intestine, it generates a lot of saltiness.
This gives an extremely strong taste to any flavorless collagen you might find on the market. However, this is not the case with our collagen.
HSN’s Hydrolysed Bovine Collagen Powder has a neutral to slightly salty taste.
This is a good thing, as it becomes a valid option for standalone use, without needing to add flavors to take it; but also, with a milder taste, it can be mixed with other supplements like protein powders without ruining their flavor.
Mixes easily. Use it in healthy drinks, juices, or infusions. Your way!
We’ve already mentioned that it’s easily combined with other products thanks to its milder taste compared to other equivalent collagens on the market, due to its hydrolysis process being carried out under controlled conditions and away from acidic media.
Also, its solubility thanks to micronization based on a smaller particle size, makes it ideal for use in both cold and hot liquids.
Whether you want to take collagen pure, without additives, in water; mix it with juices or cold drinks; or add it to Teas or Coffees, HSN’s hydrolysed collagen blends in effortlessly.
Enjoy collagen that’s easy to use, with no additives or gritty texture in your drink.
A pure formula with no additives. Enjoy the authentic RAW format
Collagens are usually developed with loads of additives when hydrolysed, so pure RAW collagens don’t really exist... until now.
Our collagen is 100% pure collagen, containing no additives or processing agents for the powder. It’s free from flavors, sweeteners, colorants, anti-caking agents... any added ingredients.
Looking for the best pure collagen to take care of your nutrition? Stop searching! You’ve found it at HSN.
Hydrolysed Collagen in Collagen Peptides: What are they and why are they the best choice?
Did you know native collagen can’t be absorbed?
Collagen is a protein present in the connective tissue of animals, and natively, it has a three-dimensional structure with a triple helix intertwined.
This native structure, which many companies claim to offer, is the worst thing you can consume, as it all passes through undigested since the human intestine can’t break down the peptide bonds of collagen’s tertiary structure.
Native type I collagen is not absorbed.
That’s why collagens are usually hydrolysed. Hydrolysis is a process of 'breaking down' this structure, releasing peptides. However, depending on hydrolysis conditions like medium, degree, time, etc., different densities and types of peptides are obtained.
Collagen peptides are defined when their molecular weight, depending on the number of amino acids linked together, is reduced.
HSN’s hydrolysed collagen has an average molecular weight of 3000 Daltons, which is the perfect point within the ideal range according to scientific research to maximize all nutritional properties along with the best absorption of collagen.
Is this product for athletes? What if I don’t work out?
Absolutely!
Collagen is a structure present in the passive tissues of all mammals, and many athletes who undergo high structural loads from running impact or weight training, for example, benefit from it.
Hydrolysed bovine collagen is perfect for athletes, especially those exposed to constant impacts due to their sport.
However, it’s not exclusively for people who exercise. Many men and women of middle and older age use collagen as a supplement to their daily nutrition without needing to train regularly.
Enjoy pure, quality collagen for everyone.
