Is your True Collagen sustainably sourced?Updated 3 months ago

Many collagen supplements on the market use South American collagen which is contributing to deforestation.

Our True Collagen is derived from cattle in the EU and is manufactured in the EU. The collagen peptides are produced from raw materials that are exclusively sourced and originate from healthy animals. The cows have been raised naturally and follow a predominantly grass-fed diet.

Collagen peptides are a natural by-product of the food industry, contributing to the whole use of the bovine and recapturing what would otherwise be ‘waste’ as a resource to manufacture new products. This therefore gives sustainable added value to farmers within the EU and contributes to a circular economy.

Animal welfare remains a high priority and we work with leading partners who are committed to supporting all reasonable measures aimed at improving animal welfare. Our manufacturing partners are members of the Gelatine Manufacturers of Europe (GME) and together we support strict enforcement of the comprehensive EU animal welfare legislation. The stricter laws regarding the use of antibiotics and hormones, deforestation and animal welfare legislations in the EU are driving points behind our EU focused supply chain.
