Collagen Body is a natural and unique opportunity to create wellness from the inside out with FORTIBONE® Bioactive Collagen Peptides.
Collagen is often left out of the modern diet because it is not present in lean cuts of meat, but rather in bones, joints, and various other connective tissue. This type of collagen is classed as type I and type III collagen. The "non-desirable" parts of an animal (where collagen is predominantly present) were traditionally consumed regularly by our ancestors, particularly to make meals go further in winter and to provide nutrition that is otherwise unavailable in lean meats.
Collagen Body contains only the good stuff - pure type I and type III collagen protein that fully dissolves in hot or cold liquid whilst maintaining its benefits. Flavourless and odourless, Collagen Body can easily be mixed into sweet things like smoothies, chia puddings, rolled into bliss balls or even baked into banana bread. Added to savoury foods like bone broth, soups and sauces. You can even add it to hot drinks like tea and coffee.
The nitty gritty on FORTIBONE®...
What differentiates types of collagen is the way they are enzymatically hydrolysed. There are specific enzymes that break down each collagen peptide chain into different final molecular weight profiles. This results in differing remaining peptide chains within the collagen powder. The individual amino acids remain the same, but it is the length of the connected amino acid chains (peptides) and the different terminal ends of the chains that are specific to each collagen peptide product and determine its function. ~when consumed in conjunction with a healthy, varied diet.
Why Bovine Collagen?
- Bovine hide is a by-product of an industry that is already well established, so it reduces waste and therefore up-cycles the parts of the animal that would otherwise be disposed of.
- The traceability of bovine-sourced collagen is much clearer than marine collagen (so it’s easy to ensure that the collagen comes from healthy, well-cared-for cows. “Marine” collagen is rarely even “marine” as it mostly comes from fish farms rather than the ocean, and our oceans are majorly overfished already as it is).
- The amount of collagen that you get from one cow is massive compared to one fish. Making it much more cost-effective and affordable.
There are a lot of misconceptions about the size of collagen peptides from bovine sources vs marine sources. One is not “bigger” or “smaller” than the other. The size of collagen peptides relies on the hydrolysis process. This is the process where collagen fibres are broken down into small peptide chains. The collagen that we use has been specifically hydrolysed to be the correct size and shape for optimal absorption and utilisation by the body, specifically for its function.

Nutra Organics Collagen Body
- What makes Collagen Body unique?
Collagen Body offers a natural opportunity to promote wellness from the inside out, featuring FORTIBONE® Bioactive Collagen Peptides. These peptides are derived from type I and type III collagen, which are typically found in bones, joints, and connective tissue.
- Why is collagen often missing from the modern diet?
Collagen is commonly absent from modern diets because it's primarily found in less desirable parts of animals, such as bones and joints, rather than in lean cuts of meat. Our ancestors regularly consumed these parts to maximize nutrition and make meals go further, especially during winter when lean meats were scarce.
- How can Collagen Body be incorporated into my diet?
Collagen Body is versatile and easy to incorporate into various foods and beverages. It's flavorless and odorless, making it suitable for both sweet and savory dishes. You can mix it into smoothies, chia puddings, or baked goods like banana bread, as well as add it to bone broth, soups, sauces, and hot drinks like tea and coffee.
- What is FORTIBONE and how does it benefit me?
FORTIBONE® is a type of bioactive collagen peptide that undergoes enzymatic hydrolysis to optimize its molecular weight profile. This process ensures that the collagen peptides are the correct size and shape for optimal absorption and utilization by the body. When consumed as part of a healthy, varied diet, FORTIBONE® may support overall well-being.
- Why is bovine collagen chosen for Collagen Body?
Bovine collagen is sourced from bovine hide, a by-product of an already established industry, reducing waste. It offers clear traceability compared to marine collagen, which often comes from fish farms. Additionally, bovine collagen provides a significant amount of collagen from one cow compared to one fish, making it more cost-effective and affordable.
- How does the size of collagen peptides affect absorption and utilization by the body?
The size of collagen peptides depends on the hydrolysis process, where collagen fibers are broken down into smaller peptide chains. Collagen Body uses collagen that has been specifically hydrolyzed to the correct size and shape for optimal absorption and utilization by the body, ensuring its effectiveness for its intended function.
- Are there any misconceptions about collagen peptides from bovine vs. marine sources?
Yes, there are misconceptions about the size of collagen peptides from different sources. The size of collagen peptides is determined by the hydrolysis process, not by the source. Collagen peptides from bovine sources, like Collagen Body, are hydrolyzed to the correct size for optimal absorption and utilization, regardless of the source.
- Is Collagen Body suitable for individuals with specific dietary preferences or restrictions?
Collagen Body is generally suitable for various dietary preferences and restrictions. It contains no sugar or carbohydrates and is versatile enough to be included in both sweet and savory dishes. However, if you have specific dietary concerns, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating any new supplement into your diet.
