Type II Collagen Peptides for Joint-Health Formulations
Chicken sternum-derived Type II collagen ingredient with a standardized collagen, chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid matrix for B2B nutraceutical sourcing. Review the COA specifications, technical documentation and commercial supply options below.
Hydrolyzed vs. Undenatured Type II Collagen
This page is intended for ATNUTRA's Type II collagen peptide / hydrolyzed product line, not a native low-dose undenatured Type II collagen ingredient. The supplied COA itself identifies the product as “Collagen Type II” from chicken sternum and reports its composition; request the current TDS or process documentation when the hydrolysis designation is required for formulation, regulatory review or finished-product labeling.
Chicken Sternum Type II Collagen Matrix
The supplied COA identifies this ingredient as Collagen Type II originating from chicken sternum. Its composition is standardized around protein/collagen, chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid, with additional controls for pH, ash, loss on drying, fat, bulk density, heavy metals, particle size and microbiology.
For procurement and R&D teams, this makes the product suitable for technical comparison based on measurable composition rather than unsupported absorption or disease claims.

A Three-Component Type II Collagen Matrix
The COA supports a formulation-oriented description of the ingredient through three measurable composition parameters rather than broad physiological claims.
Protein / Collagen ≥60%
The reference batch reports 68.0% protein/collagen against a minimum specification of 60.0%.
Chondroitin Sulfate ≥25%
The reference batch reports 26.2% chondroitin sulfate against a minimum specification of 25.0%.
Hyaluronic Acid ≥5%
The reference batch reports 5.1% hyaluronic acid against a minimum specification of 5.0%.
Type II Collagen Peptides for Product Development
Evaluate dosage form, serving size, sensory performance and regulatory positioning in your finished formula before commercial scale-up.
Joint-Health Supplements
Use the standardized collagen, chondroitin sulfate and HA composition when developing joint-focused supplement concepts.
Drink Powders & Sachets
Evaluate particle size, dispersibility, flavor system and finished-powder stability in the target serving format.
Capsules & Tablets
Review bulk density, excipient compatibility and target serving size for capsule or tablet development.
Specialty Nutrition
Assess sensory, processing and market-specific regulatory suitability in the intended finished product.
What to Request from a Type II Collagen Supplier
Current SERP results for bulk Type II collagen emphasize source identity, COA/specification review, samples, packaging and technical documentation. Use these criteria during supplier qualification.
Confirm collagen, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, heavy metals and microbiology on the commercial lot.
Confirm whether the commercial grade is hydrolyzed and document the processing designation used for your market.
The reference COA identifies chicken sternum as the origin; request current source and traceability documentation.
Evaluate flow, sensory, dispersibility and compatibility in your actual dosage form.
The reference COA records 20 kg net per carton and 23 kg gross per carton. Confirm current MOQ, availability and lead time separately.
Type II Collagen Peptide Sourcing Questions
What is the source of this Type II collagen ingredient?
The supplied COA identifies the origin as chicken sternum.
What is the protein or collagen specification?
The COA specification is ≥60.0% protein/collagen. The reference batch reports 68.0%.
How much chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid does it contain?
The specification requires ≥25.0% chondroitin sulfate and ≥5.0% hyaluronic acid. The reference batch reports 26.2% and 5.1%, respectively.
Is this the same as undenatured Type II collagen?
No. This page is intended for ATNUTRA's Type II collagen peptide / hydrolyzed product line, not a native low-dose undenatured Type II ingredient. Request the current TDS or processing declaration to document the exact commercial-grade designation.
Does the COA specify molecular weight?
No. The supplied Type II Collagen COA does not list a molecular-weight specification, so this page does not publish one. Request additional technical data if molecular-weight information is required.
What particle size and bulk density are specified?
The COA specifies 100% through 80 mesh and a bulk density range of 0.4–0.5 g/ml. The reference batch reports 0.44 g/ml.
What packaging is documented?
The updated reference batch uses 20 kg net per carton, with 23 kg gross weight per carton. Confirm current commercial packaging when requesting a quote.
Can I request a current COA and sample?
Yes. Contact ATNUTRA with the target application, destination market and expected volume to request current technical documentation and sample availability.
