Bovine Collagen 250g

Probably yes - but for a different reason. Whey, eggs, and chicken are loaded with the aminos that build muscle (leucine, lysine, etc.) but almost empty on the three that build connective tissue (glycine, proline, hydroxyproline). Your protein intake covers muscle. Collagen covers everything else - tendons, joints, gut lining, ligaments. Stack them; they’re not competing.

The marketing makes it look that way. The biology doesn’t. Collagen is ~30% of your total body protein and the structural material of every tendon, joint capsule, and gut wall you have. Skin is one downstream tissue out of dozens. NoWhey Bovine Collagen is unflavoured peptides, no biotin, no ‘beauty blend’ - same product that would sit on a strength coach’s bench, dressed up differently.

Hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides, single ingredient. Type I + III - together about 90% of the collagen in your body. ~10g per serve, 25 serves per 250g tub. No sweeteners, no flavours, no biotin or hyaluronic add-ons, no proprietary blends. Just peptides. Grass-fed bovine source.

Yes to all three. Pure hydrolysed peptides - no gluten, no dairy, no sugar, no carbs, no fat. ~36 kcal per serve from protein only. It will not break ketosis. It will not interrupt a cut. It contains no gluten or dairy ingredients. Not vegan (collagen by definition is an animal-sourced protein - there’s no real plant alternative no matter what the marketing says).

‘Hydrolysed’ means the long collagen chains have been broken down into short peptide fragments - molecular weight typically 2,000-5,000 Daltons vs. native collagen at 300,000+. Your gut absorbs short peptides quickly (30-60 minutes) and they enter circulation largely intact, where the body uses them for connective-tissue synthesis. Unhydrolysed gelatin works too, but slower and with lower bioavailable yield per gram.

Type I makes up about 90% of the collagen in your body - it’s the structural protein in skin, tendon, bone, fascia, gut lining, and most connective tissue. Type III is the second-most abundant, found alongside Type I in skin, blood vessels, and the gut wall. Together they’re roughly 90% of total body collagen. Type II is cartilage-specific (smaller share). The marine vs bovine debate is mostly marketing - both deliver Type I peptides; bovine just delivers it at a fraction of the price and also gives you Type III.

Published trials usually show joint and tendon outcomes around weeks 8-12 at 10g/day. Skin elasticity studies tend to land in the same window or slightly later. Customers in the real world commonly report the joint stuff feels quieter first (weeks 4-6) and skin shows up a few weeks behind that. Daily compliance matters more than dose-stacking - 10g every day for 12 weeks beats 20g every other day.

One scoop (~10g) once a day, any time. Most customers stir it into their morning coffee or tea - it has no flavour and no clump if the liquid is warm. Cold water works too, just stir for a few extra seconds. Doesn’t matter if it’s morning, post-workout, or evening - collagen synthesis isn’t time-locked the way some pre-workout aminos are. Pick a routine you’ll actually stick to for 12 weeks.

Yes - and you should. Collagen isn’t competing with any of them. Whey + creatine build muscle and fuel ATP. Collagen rebuilds the connective tissue muscle is anchored to. Stack all three and you’re covering the lever and the rope. No interactions, no timing conflicts. Plenty of customers mix collagen into a morning coffee, take creatine with water mid-morning, and have whey post-workout.

Barely. One serve is ~36 calories, almost all from protein, with 0g of carbs, fat, and sugar. If you’re tracking strictly, log it as 9g of protein and 36 kcal. It won’t kick you out of ketosis on keto, won’t blow a deficit, and won’t disrupt fat-loss. Easiest macro add in the supplement stack.
