Collagen

They come from different sources. BJP Collagen Peptides is hydrolysed bovine collagen, while wild cod collagen comes from fish. Hydrolysed means broken down into smaller peptides. The source alone does not determine which product will work better for you. Avoid marine collagen if you have a fish allergy; blends with eggshell membrane contain egg.

Neither bovine nor marine collagen is vegan. Collagen Pro Factors is a different type of product: it contains an amino acid blend, vitamin C and a bacterial culture, rather than animal collagen peptides. A plant-based alternative therefore does not mean the same ingredient. Compare the ingredient lists, not just the word collagen in the name or the plant-based capsule shell.

Look for the amount of collagen itself in the recommended daily serving. For example, Collagen Beauty lists 290 mg per capsule, while Multi Kolagen contains 13 900 mg of peptides in a 14 g scoop. Other ingredients can make up the rest of a blend. Capsule count and pack size alone are not enough: compare daily servings too, and stay within the manufacturer's directions.

You can with BJP Collagen Peptides: it is intended for both cold and warm drinks and food. However, the same instructions do not apply to every blend. Collagen Pro Factors, which contains a bacterial culture, should be mixed with cold food or drink according to its manufacturer. Check the directions for your chosen product, especially if it contains ingredients besides peptides.

BJP Collagen Peptides has a single ingredient: hydrolysed bovine collagen. Strawberry wild cod collagen also contains acerola, malic acid, flavouring and stevia. Matcha + Collagen is a blend with matcha and contains caffeine. If you want to add powder to your usual food without introducing a new flavour, look for an unflavoured option and check its full ingredient list.
