What Is PEPTAN® Collagen? PEPTAN B Explained

PEPTAN® is a branded hydrolysed collagen peptide ingredient made by Rousselot. PEPTAN® B is its bovine version, PEPTAN® F its fish version and PEPTAN® P its porcine version. A label that names PEPTAN® tells you exactly which collagen ingredient is inside.

What does PEPTAN mean on a label?

PEPTAN® is a trade name, like KSM-66 for ashwagandha. It identifies a specific collagen peptide ingredient with published specifications for source, processing and molecular size. Brands buy it from the supplier and use it in their own products.

PEPTAN B vs PEPTAN F

The letter tells you the source. B stands for bovine, F for fish (marine) and P for porcine. PEPTAN® B therefore means hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides, which provide Types I and III.

PEPTAN collagen vs generic collagen

Generic collagen peptides can be good quality, but the label usually gives fewer details. A branded ingredient lets you look up the supplier's own information and compare products that use the same ingredient. Research on one branded ingredient does not automatically apply to another.

How to check a PEPTAN product

Look for the ® symbol, the variant (B, F or P), the milligrams per serving and whether the product contains only PEPTAN® or a blend with other collagen.

Hyoomen's figures

Hyoomen Bovine Collagen Peptides contains 10,000 mg of PEPTAN® B hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides per 10 g serving, providing Types I and III, unflavoured and sourced from grass-fed cattle.

See Hyoomen Bovine Collagen Peptides.
