EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Full transparency. Full ingredient disclosure.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body — and the structural foundation of skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bone matrix. The hydrolyzed peptides here are pre-broken-down for absorption, then naturally flavored. Nothing else.
| Ingredient | Dose | Purpose |

Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides
Grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine hide
|
20g | The structural protein that forms skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and the matrix of bone. Hydrolyzed (enzymatically pre-cleaved) peptides are absorbed more efficiently than intact collagen. Rich in glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, and alanine — the amino acids the body uses to build its own collagen. |
|
Natural Flavor
Inactive ingredient
|
— | Natural vanilla flavoring. No artificial flavors used. |
|
Acacia Powder
Inactive ingredient
|
— | Plant-derived dietary fiber that supports clean mixing and natural texture in the powder. |
|
Silica
Inactive ingredient
|
— | Anti-caking agent that keeps the powder free-flowing and prevents clumping. |
|
Stevia Extract (Reb A)
Inactive ingredient — natural sweetener
|
— | Plant-derived non-nutritive sweetener. Reb A is the cleanest-tasting fraction of the stevia leaf, used here for natural sweetness without sugar or artificial sweeteners. |

How this product is made and what we verify before it ships.
FDA-Registered Manufacturing
Produced in a US manufacturing facility registered with the FDA for dietary supplement production. The registration is independently maintained and subject to federal inspection.
Made Under cGMP Standards
Production adheres to current Good Manufacturing Practices, the federal framework that governs identity, purity, strength, and composition of every batch. All processing happens in dedicated clean rooms designed to prevent cross-contamination.
Grass-Fed, Pasture-Raised Sourcing
The collagen is sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine hide — a meaningful upgrade over commodity collagen sourced from conventional feedlot operations.
Hydrolyzed for Absorption
The collagen is enzymatically hydrolyzed into smaller peptide chains, which are absorbed more efficiently than intact collagen and dissolve cleanly in both hot and cold liquids without clumping.
Raw Materials Tested for Identity & Heavy Metals
Each incoming raw material batch is verified against identity and purity protocols before production begins. Heavy metals screening is part of the standard intake process.
Naturally Sweetened with Reb A Stevia
Sweetened with the cleanest fraction of stevia leaf (Rebaudioside A) — no sugar, no sucralose, no aspartame, no acesulfame-K. The vanilla flavor is natural, not artificial.
We don't cite studies to impress — we cite them so you can verify. Each finding maps to peer-reviewed, publicly available research.
Skin Health
Collagen peptide supplementation is associated with improvements in skin hydration, elasticity, and density in adult women, with effects observed after 8–12 weeks of daily use.

Joint Comfort
Daily collagen peptide intake is associated with reduced joint discomfort and improved joint function in active individuals and those with age-related joint changes.

Connective Tissue
Collagen peptide supplementation, particularly when combined with vitamin C and resistance exercise, supports connective tissue protein synthesis and recovery markers.

Age & Collagen Production
Endogenous collagen synthesis declines progressively with age, contributing to gradual changes in skin, tendon, and joint structure observed in adults over 30.

Adults: mix 2 scoops (~21g) into 8 oz of hot or cold beverage — coffee, tea, smoothies, water, or juice — and stir until fully dissolved. Hydrolyzed collagen mixes cleanly without clumping, even in cold liquids. Best taken consistently as part of a daily routine; benefits compound over weeks of regular use.

Honest expectations. Here's what consistent daily use typically looks like.
Weeks 1–4
Habit & Tolerance
Collagen mixes cleanly and most people tolerate it from day one. The first month is mostly about establishing the habit — finding a consistent daily slot like morning coffee or a post-workout shake.
Weeks 5–8
Skin & Recovery
This is when most published studies on collagen begin to show measurable changes — in skin hydration, elasticity, and joint comfort markers. Effects are gradual and require continued daily intake.
Month 3+
Compounding Benefits
With continued daily use, the cumulative effect on connective tissue support builds. Collagen is a long-term supplement; benefits depend on consistency, not single-dose effects.
Every MAXIS product is designed to work alongside the others. Here's how Grass-Fed Pasture-Raised Beef Collagen (Vanilla) pairs with what we carry.
Pairs with
Vitamin D3 + K2
D3 and K2 support bone and joint structure alongside collagen's connective tissue role.
Pairs with
Grass-Fed Whey Protein (Vanilla)
Whey covers the full essential amino acid profile; collagen targets connective tissue specifically.
Pairs with
Omega-3 Fish Oil (EPA + DHA)
Omega-3 supports joint comfort; collagen supports the connective tissue itself.
Collagen is a high-protein source but not technically a complete protein — it's low in tryptophan, one of the nine essential amino acids. That's why it complements (rather than replaces) sources like whey, eggs, or meat. Where collagen excels is delivering the specific amino acids (glycine, proline, hydroxyproline) that connective tissue is built from.
The published research on hydrolyzed collagen peptides is generally positive for skin elasticity, hydration, and joint comfort — most studies use 10–15g daily for 8+ weeks. Effects are gradual and require consistency. It's not a quick fix; it's a daily nutrient.
Hydrolysis breaks the long collagen chains into smaller peptides through enzymatic processing. The shorter peptides are absorbed more efficiently and dissolve cleanly in liquid — even cold liquid — without the gelatinous texture that whole collagen creates.
No. Hydrolyzed collagen dissolves cleanly in hot or cold liquid without changing the appearance or texture. Many people add it directly to morning coffee without noticing it's there beyond the slight vanilla note.
Yes. Collagen is heat-stable and won't break down in normal cooking temperatures. It can be added to oatmeal, soups, baking recipes, or smoothies. The vanilla flavor pairs well with sweet preparations.
The 20g per serving here aligns with the dose range used in most published studies on skin and joint outcomes (typically 10–25g daily). Some people split it into two smaller servings; others take the full dose at once. Total daily intake matters more than timing.
Grass-fed, pasture-raised sourcing reflects different animal husbandry practices than commodity feedlot collagen — generally cleaner pastures, no growth hormones, and better animal welfare standards. The collagen molecule itself is similar between sources, but the upstream supply chain differs meaningfully.
Hydrolyzed collagen has a strong safety profile in the published literature. It's a digestible protein your body has been processing throughout human history. If you have specific medical conditions, are pregnant or nursing, or take medications that affect protein metabolism, consult your healthcare provider.
