Collagen Peptides

Collagen peptides are a popular form of collagen supplement, most commonly available as powders that can be mixed into food and drinks. Shop collagen peptides from trusted brands at Evergreen, with different sources, serving sizes and formulas to choose from.

What Are Collagen Peptides?

Collagen peptides are produced by breaking collagen down into smaller pieces called peptides through a process known as hydrolysis.

That's why you'll often see the terms collagen peptides and hydrolysed collagen used on supplement labels.

Importantly, collagen peptides aren't a particular source of collagen. They can be made from different animal sources, including bovine or marine collagen.

Bovine Collagen Peptides

Many collagen peptide powders are derived from bovine collagen, which comes from cattle.

Bovine collagen commonly contains types I and III collagen and is widely available as an unflavoured powder that can be mixed into food and drinks.

When comparing bovine collagen peptides, check the individual product for information about its source, collagen content and recommended serving.

Marine Collagen Peptides

Collagen peptides can also be derived from fish. These are usually described as marine collagen or marine collagen peptides.

If you're specifically looking for fish-derived collagen rather than bovine collagen, explore our Marine Collagen Supplements collection.

Collagen Peptides vs Marine Collagen

These terms can be confusing because they don't describe exactly the same thing.

Collagen peptides describes the form of the collagen: it has been broken down into smaller peptides.

Marine collagen describes its source: the collagen comes from fish.

This means marine collagen supplements can themselves contain collagen peptides.

If you're choosing between bovine and marine collagen, your decision may come down to dietary preference, the individual product and the format that works best for you.

How Do You Use Collagen Peptides?

Collagen peptides are commonly sold as powders. Depending on the individual product, they can usually be mixed into hot or cold drinks or added to foods such as smoothies and yoghurt.

Some products are unflavoured, while others come in flavoured formulas or convenient individual sachets.

Always follow the serving instructions provided with the particular collagen supplement you're using.

How Do You Choose Collagen Peptides?

When comparing collagen peptide supplements, consider:

• the source of the collagen

• the amount of collagen provided per serving

• flavoured or unflavoured options

• any additional ingredients

• serving size and format

• how easily it will fit into your everyday routine

There's no single collagen peptide supplement that's right for everyone, so compare the products based on what matters most to you.
