Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, providing structure to skin, bones, tendons, and connective tissue. Hydrolyzed collagen peptides are broken down for optimal absorption and are among the fastest-growing supplements in beauty, sports nutrition, and healthy aging categories.
Supports skin elasticity, hydration, and reduces wrinkles
Promotes joint health and reduces joint discomfort
Supports bone strength and density
Aids muscle recovery and lean muscle mass
Strengthens hair and nails
Supports gut health and intestinal lining
Not all dosage forms are created equal. Here are the most effective formats for collagen peptides supplements based on bioavailability and consumer preference.
Versatile format offering customizable dosing and rapid nutrient delivery.
Learn moreVersatile delivery system ideal for powder-based formulations with rapid absorption.
Learn moreEnjoyable supplement format that combines nutrition with a pleasant taste experience.
Learn morePremium liquid formulations offering maximum bioavailability and convenience.
Learn moreRecommended Daily Dose:
10-20 grams daily for powders (1-2 scoops); 2-6 capsules daily (2000-3000mg)
Typical Product Strength:
Powders: 10g per scoop; Capsules: 500-1000mg per capsule; Gummies: 100-200mg per gummy
Common Serving Sizes:
30-serving powder tubs, 90-180 capsule bottles, 60-90 count gummy bottles
Highly stable ingredient. Minimal degradation concerns. Moisture control important for powders to prevent clumping. No refrigeration required.
Hydrolyzed collagen (peptides with molecular weight 2000-5000 Da) offers best absorption. Type II collagen has different mechanism (immune tolerance vs. building blocks). Vitamin C enhances collagen synthesis in the body.
Unflavored collagen is virtually tasteless but has slight protein taste. Chocolate, vanilla, berry, and tropical flavors popular for powders. Gummies naturally flavored with fruit extracts.
Bovine (Type I & III from grass-fed cattle), Marine (Type I from wild-caught fish skin), Chicken (Type II from chicken cartilage). Each type has different amino acid profiles and benefits.
Powders: 500-1000 units (tubs); Capsules: 1000 bottles; Gummies: 1000 bottles
Most manufacturers require 5,000+ units. Our 1,000-unit MOQ lets you start smaller and test the market without massive upfront investment.

Considered a food ingredient, not subject to pre-market approval. Structure/function claims allowed. Must meet identity standards for protein content. Bovine collagen must be BSE-free (mad cow disease).
May require NPN if making therapeutic claims. Otherwise can be sold as food. Marine collagen must declare allergen (fish). Bovine source must be from countries approved by CFIA.
Our Expertise: We've helped secure 92% NPN approval rate for Canadian products. Our team ensures your collagen peptides formulation meets all regulatory requirements for both markets, from label compliance to permitted health claims.
These are the most successful collagen peptides products in the market. We can help you create any of these formulations.
Explosive growth in beauty-from-within category. Multi-collagen blends (Types I, II, III, V, X) trending. Marine collagen commanding premium pricing. Vegan collagen alternatives emerging but lack efficacy data.
Target Market: Women 25-55 (beauty/anti-aging focus), athletes (joint support), seniors (bone health), 75% female demographic
Powder clumping or poor solubility
Ensuring consistent amino acid profile across batches
Sourcing traceable, high-quality raw materials
Managing cost of marine collagen (3-5x higher than bovine)
Differentiating between collagen types for consumers
Our manufacturing partners have solved these challenges across hundreds of collagen peptides products. We'll help you avoid common pitfalls and launch a high-quality, compliant product.
Our minimum order quantity is Powders: 500-1000 units (tubs); Capsules: 1000 bottles; Gummies: 1000 bottles. Most manufacturers require 5,000+ units, but our 1,000-unit MOQ lets you test the market without massive upfront investment. This makes collagen peptides supplements accessible even for new brands.
Typical lead time is 4-6 weeks. This includes formulation finalization, ingredient sourcing, production, quality testing (including third-party COA), packaging, and labeling. Rush production may be available depending on facility capacity.
The best dosage form depends on bioavailability, consumer preference, and your target market. For collagen peptides, we typically recommend:
Yes! We specialize in Canadian NPN applications with a 92% approval rate. For collagen peptides products, we'll handle the entire submission process, from compiling evidence to responding to Health Canada inquiries. Typical NPN approval takes 6-12 months.
Manufacturing costs depend on dosage form, strength, packaging, and order quantity. At our 1,000-unit MOQ, typical total costs range from $8,000-15,000 including product manufacturing, packaging, testing, and compliance. We provide transparent pricing with detailed breakdowns. Contact us for a custom quote based on your specific requirements.
We offer both! If you want a standard collagen peptides formulation, we can match you with proven stock formulas from our manufacturing partners (white label). If you want something unique, we create custom formulations tailored to your target market, combining collagen peptides with complementary ingredients for enhanced benefits.
