What Are Types I & III Bovine Collagen?

If you've looked into collagen supplements, you’ve likely seen "Types I & III Bovine Collagen" on the label. But what does that actually mean for your daily health routine?

9/1/20262 min read

Collagen makes up roughly 30% of your body’s total protein matrix. It acts as the biological "glue" that holds your skin, organs, joints, bones, and vascular systems together

While 28 types of Collagen exist, Types I, II, III, IV, and V make up over 90% of the collagen in your body:

Type I vs. Type III

Collagen isn't just one single protein—it comes in different forms that target specific tissues in your body:

  • Type I Collagen: Makes up nearly 90% of your body's collagen framework. It is the primary building block for firm skin, strong bones, hair, nails, and connective tissues.

  • Type III Collagen: Works alongside Type I to provide elasticity to your muscles, blood vessels, organs, and intestinal lining.

Why Bovine (Cattle) Sourcing?

Derived from pasture-raised cattle, bovine collagen naturally delivers a concentrated blend of both Types I and III simultaneously. Unlike marine collagen (which is predominantly Type I), bovine provides dual-action support:

  • Skin & Beauty: Smooths fine lines and restores skin elasticity.

  • Joints & Bones: Rebuilds cartilage and supports bone density.

  • Gut Health: Nourishes and seals the delicate lining of the digestive tract.

Hydrolysed for Fast Absorption

In its raw state, collagen protein molecules are too large for your gut to absorb.

Through enzymatic hydrolysis, these full proteins are broken down into microscopic amino acid peptides (glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline). This makes the powder 100% soluble in hot or cold liquids and allows it to enter your bloodstream rapidly to trigger your body’s natural repair process.

How to Use

Stir 1 teaspoon (5g) daily into your morning coffee, tea, smoothie, or warm water. It is 100% unflavored, odorless, and dissolves without clumping.

(Note: Bovine collagen is a non-vegetarian product sourced from grass-fed cattle.)

Don't let natural collagen loss hold you back from feeling and looking your absolute best. Whether your goal is pain-free joints, a resilient gut, or restoring your skin’s youthful elasticity, Global Superfoods Natural Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides (50g) delivers the pure, bioavailable building blocks your body needs.

100% clean, unflavored, and effortlessly versatile—just one teaspoon a day in your morning coffee or smoothie is all it takes to activate your body's natural repair system.
