Collagen Peptides

From professional athletes to health-conscious consumers

We produce collagen peptides by breaking down large collagen molecules into a range of smaller molecules (peptides). These peptides are composed of various amino acids such as glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline; they are water-soluble and readily absorbed by the body.

At ZGL, we offer a wide range of collagen peptide application solutions, with Type I and Type II collagen peptides being the most commonly used. Talk to us about how our graded range of collagen peptides can work in your formulations.

Health Supplements Functional Beverages Meal Replacements Pet Food Cosmetics

Health Supplements

The human body contains large amounts of collagen, and timely collagen supplementation throughout growth and aging is a sound, science-based approach to health.

The market now offers bone-health nutritional products combining collagen and calcium, as well as collagen-based beauty products. With proven clinical results and excellent market feedback, collagen health supplements have become popular worldwide.

Functional Beverages

Functional beverages featuring collagen peptides as a key ingredient for beauty and anti-aging benefits are gaining ever wider recognition.

Collagen peptides offer high nutritional value, replenishing the collagen the body needs while also helping to keep skin more elastic and smooth.

Meal Replacements

Collagen peptide meal-replacement foods increase satiety while enriching texture, balancing nutrition, and replenishing energy.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and the most important component of connective tissue, providing strength, elasticity, and stability to skin, cartilage, ligaments, and bones. Added to meal-replacement foods, it supplies essential nutrition while supporting healthy body shaping.

Pet Food

Collagen peptides are widely used in pet food, both as a key ingredient in pet supplements and as an additive in staple foods and treats.

While enriching the texture of pet food, collagen peptides provide strength, elasticity, and stability to skin, cartilage, ligaments, and bones, delivering both energy and nutrition.

Cosmetics

Added to skincare products such as lotions and serums, collagen peptides work synergistically with other ingredients to deliver excellent moisture-retention and repair benefits.

As an effective cosmetic ingredient, small-molecule collagen peptides moisturize the skin and give it a smooth feel, earning them the name “the bone within bone, the skin within skin, the flesh within flesh.” They serve as a powerful support for the dermis, and their benefits for the skin speak for themselves.
