What You Need to Know About Gelatin Additives for Hard Capsules

Hydrolyzed beef gelatin is a collagen-derived peptide product, sourced from bovine raw materials and processed via hydrolysis to break down collagen into smaller, soluble peptides. This bovine hydrolyzed gelatin offers superior solubility (even in cold water), improved bioavailability, and stability, making it ideal for applications where traditional gelatin’s heat-dependent gelling is impractical. It retains the nutritional benefits of collagen while delivering functional advantages in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
Cold-Water Solubility: Unlike unhydrolyzed gelatin, it dissolves easily in cold liquids, simplifying formulations for beverages, supplements, and instant products.
Low Molecular Weight (MW): Ranging from 500–5,000 Da (vs. 10,000–100,000 Da for regular gelatin) and enabling faster absorption in nutraceuticals and better integration into liquid-based products.
Stable in Acidic/Basic Environments: Maitaining functionality in pH-sensitive applications (e.g., acidic drinks, pharmaceutical coatings).
Nutritional Profile: Rich in amino acids (proline, glycine, hydroxyproline), to support collagen synthesis in skincare and sports nutrition.
Controlled Hydrolysis: Precision-processed for consistent peptide size, MW, and solubility to meet strict industry standards (e.g., USP, EP for pharma-grade).
Purity & Safety: ISO 22000-certified, free from contaminants, and tested for microbial safety, heavy metals, and allergens.
Custom Grades: Available in varying peptide sizes (e.g., low MW for rapid absorption, medium MW for stability) to match specific application needs.
Sustainable Sourcing: Ethically derived from bovine by-products, bases on circular economy principles.
It undergoes hydrolysis, resulting in smaller peptides (soluble in cold water, no gelling), vs. regular gelatin (requires heat, forms gels).
No (bovine-derived), but please explore our plant-based collagen alternatives (e.g., hydrolyzed pea protein, marine collagen peptides).
Yes, it is certified on Halal or Kosher for different markets.
