How does hydrolysed collagen differ from ordinary collagen, and why does it matter? — Collagen + Vitamin C Peach Powder 400 g - OstroVit

The manufacturer makes no comparison with ordinary (non-hydrolysed) collagen. According to the composition on the product card, the product contains hydrolysed bovine collagen — 8700 mg in the recommended daily serving (10 g of powder, 2 measuring spoons); this means the collagen is obtained from cattle raw material, which is worth bearing in mind with dietary restrictions (including religious or ethical ones). What «hydrolysed» means is not explained on the product card; in general it is collagen broken down into shorter fragments — peptides (general information, not a manufacturer's instruction).

Full composition according to the product card: hydrolysed bovine collagen, L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C), acidity regulator — citric acid, flavourings, beet juice concentrate powder, colour — carotenes, sweetener — sucralose. This is a food supplement with a sweetener, not a replacement for a varied diet; the product card makes no claims of a therapeutic effect or of an effect on skin, hair and nails.
