Private Label Collagen Peptide Manufacturer | Marine, Bovine & Hydrolyzed (2-5 kDa), COA per Batch, MOQ 500

Collagen peptides, also called hydrolyzed collagen or collagen hydrolysate, are collagen broken down by controlled enzymatic hydrolysis into short peptide chains. Manufacturers target a molecular weight of roughly 2,000 to 5,000 daltons, which is why you see the 2 to 5 kDa spec on this category. The result is a cold-water-soluble, near-tasteless powder that drops into a stick-pack, a capsule, or a drink blend without changing how it tastes.

Source animal and collagen type define the SKU. Bovine collagen delivers Types I and III, the workhorse of the beauty-from-within shelf. Marine collagen is fish-derived Type I, the choice for pescatarian and non-bovine positioning. Multi-collagen blends bring Types I, II, III, V, and X together for a broad-spectrum story. Bioactive and low-molecular-weight collagen tripeptide grades round out the range.

Yes, and that is what makes this the standout peptide category for a consumer brand. Hydrolyzed collagen is covered by the FDA GRAS provision for peptones (21 CFR 184.1553), so it can be sold as a dietary-supplement ingredient without pre-market approval, with a long history of food use behind it. Products carry a Supplement Facts panel and are marketed under DSHEA.

Collagen peptides are, in fact, the one cleanly supplement-legal peptide category. Most other oral peptides do not qualify as dietary ingredients, and we will tell you so upfront rather than let you build a brand on a product that cannot ship. With collagen, the path is well worn and the paperwork is straightforward.

Under DSHEA you may make structure and function claims: supports skin elasticity, supports healthy hair and nails, supports joint comfort. Published research backs the elasticity angle. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, specific collagen peptides at 2.5 to 5 grams a day for eight weeks significantly improved skin elasticity versus placebo. You may also state compositional facts plainly, such as five collagen types or low molecular weight.

What you may not do is make disease claims. Collagen peptides do not treat, cure, or prevent anything; they are not anti-inflammatory; they do not reverse aging. Every structure or function claim must be accompanied by the FDA disclaimer below, and you are obligated to hold substantiation before marketing and to notify FDA within 30 days of first using a claim. We build your labeling to that standard so the claim and the disclaimer always travel together.

We finish collagen peptides across every popular delivery format, flavored or unflavored, and can co-formulate with complementary supplement ingredients such as vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and biotin for a beauty stack. You bring the concept and the brand; we bring the grade, the format, and the fill.

Format choice is a positioning decision as much as a production one. A stick-pack reads as a modern, on-the-go daily ritual and travels well; a jar of unflavored powder appeals to the mix-it-into-anything customer; capsules serve the no-taste, no-scoop buyer; and a flavored drink blend turns a supplement into a treat. We match the collagen grade and dose to the format so the finished product feels deliberate, and we can benchmark your serving size against the clinically studied 2.5 to 5 gram range without implying an outcome the label cannot support.

Every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis confirming identity and purity, produced in cGMP-certified, FDA-registered facilities with full batch traceability. Marine collagen carries a fish allergen declaration under FALCPA, and multi-collagen blends declare every animal source and allergen present, so your Supplement Facts panel is complete and defensible.

Labeling support is part of the job, not an upsell: a compliant Supplement Facts panel, the DSHEA disclaimer wherever a structure or function claim appears, and allergen statements that match the formula in the bottle.

The minimum order is 500 units per SKU, low enough to test a collagen line in market without overcommitting to inventory. Samples are $150 each plus $20 per additional SKU, produced in 10 to 14 days and shipped by UPS in 3 to 5 days.

Priced quotes come back within 48 hours. Full production runs in 30 to 40 days from approval on 50/50 payment terms, and most brands go from brief to retail-ready in 4 to 8 weeks.
