Strava Healthcare is a leading manufacturer of collagen peptide sachets for nutraceutical brands, beauty supplement companies, and sports nutrition buyers.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and almost entirely structural it doesn’t come from a standard high-protein diet in any meaningful quantity. Hydrolysed collagen peptides are broken down small enough to be absorbed intact, and controlled trials have shown they stimulate fibroblast activity in skin, improve joint cartilage density markers, and support tendon recovery in athletes. The evidence base is better than it gets credit for, particularly on the skin side.
We manufacture marine, bovine, and porcine-sourced collagen peptides in smooth powder and effervescent sachet formats, with custom flavouring and private label packaging.
Collagen Peptides are also available in combination with glutathione, Vitamin C and Hyaluronic acid which is very good for skin health, radiance and tone. Collagen Peptides are available in Sachet, effervescent tablet form and capsules form.
Collagen Types and Sources
- Type I: skin, hair, nails, bone, tendons — most abundant, from bovine or marine sources
- Type II: cartilage — relevant for joint health, from chicken sternum
- Type III: skin elasticity, found alongside Type I in bovine sources
- Marine collagen: smaller peptide size, higher bioavailability, pescatarian-acceptable
- Bovine collagen: cost-effective, provides Types I and III, suitable for most joint and beauty applications
Applications
- Skin elasticity, hydration, and wrinkle reduction — the strongest clinical evidence
- Joint cartilage and tendon support — athletes and osteoarthritis patients
- Wound healing and post-surgical recovery
- Hair and nail strength
- Bone density support — collagen makes up around 30% of bone by weight

Frequently Asked Questions
Skin studies have used 2.5 g to 10 g daily, over 8 to 12 weeks. Joint studies tend to use 10 g. The dose-response isn’t perfectly linear, but below 5 g per day is generally considered too low to expect much from most applications. If a formulation is under that threshold for cost reasons, it’s worth being honest about expectations.
Marine peptides are smaller on average, which may improve gut absorption, and they open the product to pescatarian consumers. Bovine gives you Types I and III together and is more cost-effective. For skin-focused products, marine collagen has strong market appeal and the absorption argument. For joint formulations, bovine or chicken-sourced Type II is the more appropriate choice. Neither is universally better it depends on what the product is for.
Yes, and it’s a sensible addition. Vitamin C is required for collagen synthesis specifically for hydroxylation of proline and lysine residues so it’s not just a marketing add-on. Including 500 mg to 1,000 mg alongside the collagen has a scientific rationale and tends to land well commercially. We formulate combination sachets routinely.
