Hydrolysate in Protein and Collagen

What is Collagen Hydrolysate?

Collagen hydrolysate is a type of protein that is derived from collagen, which is one of the most abundant proteins in the human body.

Collagen supports the health of our bones, skin, muscles, tendons and cartilage. So, how is collagen hydrolysate made? Collagen hydrolysate can be extracted from a variety of sources, including agro-food waste. It is commonly sourced from the bones, tendons or skin of animals.

To be converted to collagen hydrolysate, collagen undergoes hydrolysis, a process in which water and enzymes break the collagen down into smaller peptides.

But why is this conversion necessary? Collagen is better absorbed by the body when taken in its hydrolysate form.

Benefits Of Collagen Protein

Here at Bulk Nutrients, we sell collagen hydrolysate as our Collagen Protein.

Collagen is an essential protein, and it benefits the body in a variety of ways:

Collagen hydrolysate shares the same benefits as collagen but has a special advantage: it’s easier to digest and gentler on the stomach.

How To Take Collagen Protein

When a collagen protein is broken down, it becomes collagen hydrolysate. You can often find collagen hydrolysate in the form of powders, tablets or capsules.

You’ll also find collagen hydrolysate in skincare products, as the protein has been proven to increase the skin's elasticity and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

At Bulk Nutrients, our Collagen Protein comes in a range of delicious flavours. Whether you’re a chocoholic at heart, a Salted Caramel lover or prefer a pallet-cleansing Vanilla, we’ve got a flavour to suit your taste buds.

After something a bit different? Try our Cold Brew flavour - and we often have a fun limited edition

If you’re keeping things simple, opt for our unflavoured/raw collagen hydrolysate supplement.

Bulk Nutrients Protein Bars

Another good way of getting your hydrolysed protein and collagen is through our Bulk Nutrients Protein Bars.

Each Protein Bar contains 20g of protein from Whey, Milk and Collagen proteins to give it a great blend, great texture - and most importantly, a great taste!

What is Protein Hydrolysate?

Protein hydrolysate is a type of protein that has been broken down into smaller peptides and amino acids through the process of hydrolysis.

It’s thought to be absorbed and utilised more quickly than other forms of protein.

Protein hydrolysate is derived from a variety of sources, such as whey, casein and soy.

Whey protein hydrolysate is an easily-absorbed form of protein typically used by people looking to increase muscle mass.

Protein Hydrolysate has several benefits, including helping build and repair muscle, produce enzymes and hormones, maintain fluid balance, supporting a functioning immune system and providing energy. It also offers other unique benefits including rapid absorption (due to how it’s broken down), improved digestibility (due to the hydrolysis process), reduced allergic reactions and helping build muscle growth and repair

How To Take Protein Hydrolysate

Protein hydrolysate comes in a variety of forms, including powders, bars or ready-to-drink shakes.

A protein hydrolysate supplement is most effective when taken in conjunction with a well-balanced diet and regular exercise.

What’s Better — Collagen Protein or Hydrolysed Protein?

Ultimately, what’s best for you will depend on your specific needs.

Hydrolysed collagen is preferable if you want to increase your skin’s elasticity and joint strength.
