Hydrolyzed Type II Collagen Peptides – Denatured Collagen from Chicken Sternum

Our hydrolyzed type II collagen is not a physical blend. It is a single extract from chicken sternum cartilage that naturally contains type II collagen peptides, chondroitin sulfate, and hyaluronic acid in a fixed matrix. This integrated structure has different bioavailability compared to mixing individual powders. For brands that want a single-source joint ingredient with cleaner label, our product saves blending steps and reduces ingredient count. However, if you need specific ratios (e.g., higher chondroitin or added glucosamine), we also offer custom pre-mixing.

Yes, every batch is tested using validated analytical methods. For batch AT250515, we measured chondroitin sulfate at 25.9% and hyaluronic acid at 5.5%. You receive a batch-specific COA with every shipment showing these values, along with protein, ash, moisture, heavy metals, and microbiology. Third-party verification (SGS, Eurofins) can be arranged at our cost once per year per client.

Our hydrolyzed type II collagen has good solubility at typical use levels (500mg–1500mg per serving). At 1% solution, it is clear to slightly opalescent depending on pH and temperature. We recommend testing at your target concentration. Unlike some joint ingredients (e.g., glucosamine sulfate), our product does not precipitate under normal beverage pH (3.5–7.0) and pasteurization conditions. We can provide a solubility test report upon request.

Standard pure hydrolyzed type II collagen MOQ is 20kg. For custom blends (e.g., type II + glucosamine + chondroitin), MOQ is 100kg for initial commercial batches. However, we can provide small pilot blends (5–10kg) for R&D and stability testing at a higher per‑kg cost. This allows you to validate your formula before committing to larger volumes.

Our hydrolyzed type II collagen is derived from chicken sternum. It contains no gluten, no dairy, no soy, no shellfish, no added preservatives. The allergen statement clearly states “Contains chicken (avian source).” For clean‑label claims, the ingredient is a single extract without artificial carriers. Non‑GMO statement is available. We do not currently offer Halal or Kosher certification.

We keep standard pure hydrolyzed type II collagen in our USA (California, New Jersey) and Canada (Ontario) warehouses. Lead time for standard product is 3–5 business days for North America. For custom blends, lead time is 15–25 business days depending on the complexity and ingredient availability. We do not require long‑term contracts; you can order as needed.

Yes, we provide origin certificate, health certificate, allergen statement, and a technical data sheet that can be used for your regulatory filings. For the EU, we can supply a Declaration of Compliance. For Brazil (ANVISA) or Japan, we have experience providing the necessary documents. Additional regulatory support (e.g., product registration dossier) may be available for larger commitments. Contact us with your target market for a detailed document list.

Every shipment includes a COA based on our in‑house testing. You also have the right to perform third‑party testing (e.g., SGS, Eurofins) on retained samples. If the results show non‑compliance with our guaranteed specs (protein <60%, chondroitin <25%, HA <5%, or heavy metals above limits), we will replace the batch or issue a full refund. This guarantee applies to the first 30 days after receipt.
