What is bovine collagen?
Collagen is a structural protein found naturally in animals. Bovine collagen comes from cattle.
AUSTRALIAN COLLAGEN
Australian bovine collagen.
From here, made here.
Our bovine collagen starts with Australian cattle and is processed in Australia. Processing begins at source using enzymatic extraction and hydrolysis to create collagen peptides.
For AU, provenance is not a decoration. It is part of the product.

A few useful things to know before choosing collagen.
What are collagen peptides?
Hydrolysis breaks collagen into smaller peptide pieces, making a fine, practical ingredient for food and drinks.
Why origin matters
We believe you should be able to understand where an ingredient starts and where it is processed.
PADDOCK TO MUG
Australian at the source.
Simple at your table.
Australian cattle provide the hides used to make our bovine collagen peptides right here in Australia. The hides are processed here — not shipped overseas for hydrolysis and imported back as a finished collagen ingredient.
Processing begins at the source, and the collagen is sourced, processed and packaged in Australia.

AUSTRALIAN COLLAGEN FAQ
The origin questions matter.
This page keeps the focus on where the collagen begins and where it is processed.
Is AU collagen sourced from Australian cattle?
Yes. Our bovine collagen ingredient begins with Australian cattle.
Is the collagen processed in Australia?
Yes. Processing begins at source and the collagen is processed and packaged in Australia.
What does hydrolysed collagen mean?
Hydrolysis breaks larger collagen proteins into smaller peptide pieces. AU collagen processing uses an enzymatic process.
Does Australian collagen mean every AU ingredient is Australian?
No. Australian collagen describes the collagen ingredient. Flavoured finished products can also contain imported herbs, spices, coffee, cocoa or other ingredients. Check each product label.
