Bovine Type Ll Collagen Peptide
Bovine Type II Collagen Peptide is a hydrolysed collagen ingredient produced from bovine cartilage, supplying low-molecular-weight peptides characteristic of the type II collagen fraction found in hyaline cartilage.
Unlike undenatured type II collagen, which is dosed in milligrams for its intact immunological signal, the hydrolysed type II peptide is dosed in grams to deliver collagen-derived amino acids and short bioactive fragments aimed at cartilage and joint support.
We source bulk Bovine Type Ll Collagen Peptide from top China manufacturers for our partners. The manufacturer is in Shandong. A smaller requirement can ship in a combined container with other ingredients.
Please send the grade you need, the volume and your destination port, and we will come back with a solution and a price.

Common Markets Grades
Standard grades are off-white free-flowing powders with average molecular weights in the 2,000 to 5,000 dalton range. Lower molecular-weight grades near 1,000 to 2,000 daltons are positioned for fast dissolution in cold liquids and for clinical-nutrition use.
Premium grades carry assays that demonstrate enrichment in alpha-1(II) chain peptides over type I background, often verified by mass spectrometry of marker sequences.
Joint-support formulas commonly use 1,000 to 3,000 milligrams per daily serving, while functional-food applications use lower inclusion levels for general collagen claims.
Material comes as plain hydrolysate or as blends with chondroitin sulphate, glucosamine, or hyaluronic acid for finished-format convenience.

How We Help Source Bovine Type Ll Collagen Peptide
Direct Factory Sourcing
We run the whole process: selecting the manufacturer from the top Chinese food ingredient producers, negotiating the price, verifying quality, and coordinating the logistics. You deal with us instead of with several factories at once.
Original Packaging and Documents from the Manufacturer
The manufacturer sends your Bovine Type Ll Collagen Peptide out of its own factory in the original packing, through to your destination port. The COA, COO, MSDS, TDS and any certifications reach you from the manufacturer as well.
Free Samples and Lead Time
We send 100 to 500 g free for your own laboratory to test and you cover only the courier, usually within 2 to 3 working days. ETD is usually within 7 to 15 days once the order is confirmed, and we check that date against the factory's own manufacturing schedule before we give it to you.
Combined Shipment
We can load Bovine Type Ll Collagen Peptide together with other ingredients such as Collagen Peptide, Soy Protein Isolate and Fish Collagen Peptide into one 20' FCL. If your quantity is small, we can also ship LCL.
Regulatory Status
Hydrolysed bovine collagen is an accepted food ingredient in major markets. Production from cartilage requires compliance with TSE and BSE controls in the European Union, with material sourced from countries of negligible or controlled BSE risk and from approved slaughterhouses.
In the United States it operates under GRAS practice for collagen hydrolysates from edible animal tissue.
Japan and South Korea accept it as a food and supplement ingredient with standard labelling. Halal and Kosher certifications exist where slaughterhouse practices meet the relevant standards.
The material is not the subject of a pharmacopoeial monograph because it is sold as a nutritional ingredient rather than a pharmaceutical active.
Manufacturing Process
Manufacture begins with selection of bovine tracheal and articular cartilage, recovered from beef processing facilities under food-grade conditions.
The cartilage is cleaned, ground, and subjected to controlled acidic or enzymatic pretreatment to swell the matrix and release non-collagen components such as proteoglycans.
Hydrolysis is then performed with food-grade proteases. Enzyme selection and process timing are tuned to the desired molecular-weight distribution. Multi-stage hydrolysis is common when narrow distributions are required.
The hydrolysate is filtered, decolorised with activated carbon, concentrated, and spray-dried. Sieving and blending homogenise the finished powder.
Type II enrichment is confirmed by mass spectrometry or peptide-mapping methods that identify alpha-1(II) signature sequences against background type I peptides from any connective tissue carry-over.
