Product Overview
Chicken Collagen Peptides are bioactive ingredients derived from chicken sternum cartilage through enzymatic hydrolysis, yielding low-molecular-weight peptides with superior bioavailability. Rich in type II collagen, they play a critical role in maintaining joint integrity, supporting cartilage regeneration, and improving mobility. Widely used in nutraceuticals and functional foods, they are scientifically validated to alleviate joint discomfort and support connective tissue health, particularly for active individuals and aging populations. Naturally containing chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid, they provide a synergistic matrix for musculoskeletal wellness. With excellent water solubility and a neutral flavor, they are ideal for dietary supplements, protein bars, and functional beverages.
Production Process
1.Prepare Raw Material: Chicken by-products (such as skin, bone, or cartilage) are collected, cleaned, and degreased.
2.Pretreatment: The material is soaked in acid or alkali to swell and break cross-links, then washed to neutral pH.
3.Extraction: The pretreated material is heated in hot water to solubilize the collagen (gelatinization).
4.Enzymatic Hydrolysis: Collagen is hydrolyzed with specific proteases under controlled temperature and pH to break it into small peptides.
5.Inactivation & Filtration: The enzyme is heat-inactivated, and the solution is filtered to remove impurities.
6.Concentration & Dry: The filtrate is concentrated (via evaporation) and then dried (typically by spray drying) to obtain a fine peptide powder.

Joint health, Skin beauty
Chicken collagen peptides, rich in type II collagen, are widely used in oral supplements to support joint cartilage health, reduce osteoarthritis discomfort, and promote skin elasticity and hydration
Sports nutrition and muscle recovery
They are incorporated into protein powders, post-workout bars, and recovery beverages to support connective tissue repair, reduce exercise-induced joint stress, and enhance muscle recovery after intense training
Food and beverage fortification
Chicken collagen peptides are added to functional foods, protein shakes, and ready-to-drink beverages to boost protein content and provide collagen-specific benefits in a convenient, tasteless format
Pet food and veterinary products
Used in premium pet foods, chews, and veterinary joint health supplements, chicken collagen peptides support cartilage maintenance, improve mobility, and address arthritis in aging dogs and cats
Cosmetics and topical formulations
In anti-aging creams, serums, and masks, these peptides help improve skin firmness, reduce wrinkles, and support the skin's extracellular matrix through their moisturizing and regenerative properties
