- Chief Nutrition
Collagen peptides are a completely hydrolysed form of collagen protein, which means the amino acid strands of the protein are broken into individual collagen peptides making them easy to digest and highly bioavailable. Studies have shown more than 90% of collagen peptides are digested and available in the bloodstream within one hour.
You need to be careful with where your collagen comes from. Most collagen powder comes from low quality sources and some have tested positive for traces of heavy metal contamination. Our collagen is tested for heavy metals and pesticides and Australian grown, hydrolysed and made. Quality you can trust.
Our highly bioavailable, grass-fed bovine hydrolysed collagen peptides support muscle recovery while nourishing your skin, joints, and gut for a fully rejuvenated you.
Studies show Hydrolysed Collagen:
- Helps speed up muscle recovery
- Helps build tendon strength
- Helps reduce joint pain and improve mobility
- Improves bone growth and density
- Supports skin hydration
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Supports skin elasticity, thickness and regeneration
A fast dissolving powder that is a fantastic protein supplement for tissue building and repair, muscle mass growth and maintenance, and bone maintenance. It’s suitable for people of all ages.
Collagen peptides can survive temperatures as high as 300°C, making collagen one of the few protein powders that may be used in hot drinks, cooking and baking. It dissolves just as well in hot or cold water:
- Mix with cold water for a Choc ‘Milkshake’
- Mix with hot water for a very tasty Hot Choc
- Add to your coffee for a delicious Mocha coffee
- Great with Smoothies
- Use as a chocolate powder on top of dessert or coffee
- Use in Cooking, e.g. protein pancakes or porridge
- Use in Baking, e.g. protein muffins
Serving Suggestions
For best results, consume 1 serve (15g) per day. To save on plastic we don’t use a scoop so simply mix 2 heaped tablespoons in 300ml of water and mix with a spoon, shaker or blender.

About Chief Collagen Protein
Gut Health

Joints/Tendons
Decreases joint pain and makes your joints more flexible.
Better Absorption
Highly absorbable protein that your body can actually use.
No Bloating
Easier on the gut than other proteins because it's easily absorbed.
Avoid the hidden nasties in your protein powder
You might be surprised by what’s really inside some of the top-selling protein powders. Look closely and you'll find a cocktail of ultra-processed junk your body doesn’t need and they're all things we leave out:
Like sucralose and acesulfame potassium which are linked to gut disruption and long-term health concerns.
Like soy lecithin are ultra-processed and often completely unnecessary.
Including tartrazine and Allura Red, banned or restricted in parts of the world.
Like maltodextrin used to mask cheap ingredients, as a bulking agent to save cost and extend shelf life. But, it spikes blood sugar faster than table sugar and may also disrupt gut bacteria.
Independent lab results
Tested for Heavy Metals & Glyphosate
We test for common contaminants, including heavy metals and glyphosate residue, to verify the product meets Chief specification limits and relevant regulatory limits.
Heavy metals screen
Checks for unwanted metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury, which we want to keep as low as possible.
Glyphosate screen
Checks for glyphosate residue, a widely used herbicide, as part of our product quality and purity testing.
| What we tested | Regulatory limit | Chief specification limit | Lab result | Complies? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy Metals Screen | ||||
| Lead An unwanted heavy metal we test for as part of our contaminant screen. | ≤ 0.1 mg/kg for meat Not set for milk |
≤ 0.1 mg/kg | 0.07 mg/kg | Yes |
| Arsenic A naturally occurring contaminant that can be present in soil and water. | ≤ 1.0 mg/kg for cereals Not set for milk |
≤ 0.06 mg/kg | 0.06 mg/kg (LOQ) | Yes |
| Cadmium An unwanted heavy metal we screen for to confirm it remains within Chief specification limits. | ≤ 0.5 mg/kg for cocoa products | ≤ 0.05 mg/kg | 0.036 mg/kg | Yes |
| Mercury An unwanted heavy metal we test for to confirm it is very low. | ≤ 0.1 mg/kg for salt Not set for milk |
≤ 0.01 mg/kg | 0.002 mg/kg (LOQ) | Yes |
| Chromium A metal included in this screening panel to confirm it remains within Chief specification limits. | Not set | ≤ 5 mg/kg | 2.2 mg/kg | Yes |
| Glyphosate Screen | ||||
| Glyphosate A widely used herbicide we screen for as part of our quality testing. | Not detected | Not detected | <0.5 mg/kg (LOQ) | Yes |
Because we use real food ingredients, trace amounts of naturally occurring metals can sometimes be present from soil and water. That’s why we test — to make sure levels are low, monitored and within strict safety limits. All heavy metals tested and glyphosate residue comply with regulatory standards. LOQ means Limit of Quantification, which is the lowest level the lab can reliably measure. Original lab report available upon request.

"Protein at breakfast is one of the best ways to support your child's energy, focus, and mood throughout the school day. But let's be real, getting enough protein into kids at breakfast could be a challenge, especially if they love toast or cereal. That's why I love collagen."
Luka McCabe

Amazing product with a great chocolate flavour it’s my go to hot chocolate every night
Kathryn M.Verified BuyerReviewingGrass-fed Collagen Protein Powder - Dark Chocolate - Chief Nutrition - Rated 5 out of 5 stars2 days agoIt’s actually so yum!
I was hesitant when buying this protein that it would live up to the advertisements and actually taste like a hot chocolate, but it really is delicious! It doesn’t taste like protein powder at all and it’s delish as a hot choccy or even added into my morning coffee! I will be ordering so much more!
Cheyenne E.Verified BuyerReviewingGrass-fed Collagen Protein Powder - Dark Chocolate - Chief Nutrition - Rated 5 out of 5 stars3 days agoGreat option for dairy free
This works really well for me because I can’t tolerate dairy or plant based protein powders.

Sarah Q.Verified BuyerReviewingGrass-fed Collagen Protein Powder - Dark Chocolate - Chief Nutrition - Rated 5 out of 5 stars1 week ago5 Stars
I've bought this many times - & as long as they dont change the formula to add dairy - will continue to do so! It has an amazing dark chocolate flavour - zero nasties - is dairy free - no after taste, and is excellent in mug muffins, just mixed with cold milk, mixed in with yoghurt, baked goods, you name it! Fantastic just mixed with cold water and taken to work. I tried mixing it into hot milk and it went a bit gluggy, not sure what I did wrong, as others make really good hot chocolates with it! Anyway, their customer service is personal, quick, efficient - amazing really! Plus they're an Aussie company - what's not to love! Keep up the sensational work guys👏🙌

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The collagen protein itself is relatively tasteless and won't affect the taste of your coffee, smoothies, baking, cooking and more. You can't taste the collagen in our flavoured versions.
-
Collagen is an odourless, tasteless, dairy free protein source that's a co-product of beef. We like it because it's a great environmentally friendly option and easier on the gut than other proteins. There's now a large body of evidence showing it's beneficial for gut health, joint and tendon health, recovery and hair, skin and nails.
-
Collagen is best for supporting muscle recovery, joints, skin, hair, nails, and gut health.
Whey is best for supporting muscle growth, weight management and to stabilise blood sugar levels.
-
Collagen isn’t a complete protein in the same way whey is, because it doesn’t contain meaningful amounts of L-tryptophan which is one of the nine essential amino acids your body can’t produce on its own.
But that doesn’t mean collagen can’t be used as a daily protein supplement, or that it has no role in supporting muscle and recovery. Collagen is still protein; it simply has a different amino acid profile.
Where collagen really shines is that it’s naturally rich in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline - amino acids that are important building blocks for connective tissue, including tendons, ligaments, joints, skin, hair and the gut lining.
Protein supplements are designed to supplement your diet, not replace all other sources of protein. So if you’re eating a varied wholefood diet that includes foods like meat, eggs, dairy, fish, nuts or seeds, you’re very unlikely to be relying on collagen as your only source of essential amino acids - including L-tryptophan.
In short: whey is more complete for muscle protein synthesis, while collagen offers a different set of amino acids that are useful addition to a well-rounded diet.
-
Yes, when consumed, collagen peptides (the broken-down form of collagen) are easily digested and absorbed in the digestive tract. Collagen peptides are small, bioactive fragments of collagen that are produced by breaking down the full collagen molecule into smaller chains of amino acids. This process is called hydrolysation, which makes collagen more easily digestible and absorbable by the body.
-
While there has been a lot of debate about collagen supplementation, there is now a large body of evidence supporting the benefits of collagen, many of which you can find here. Think of it like whey protein - everyone knows it's good for muscle growth because whey contains the building blocks your body needs to grow your own muscle. Collagen protein contains the building blocks of collagen, providing your body the raw material it needs to grow your own collagen.
-
Absolutely - that's when many women need collagen the most. Still, check with your healthcare provider first since they know your specific situation.
-
Yes! It's an essential nutrient. Collagen is also the most abundant protein in the body, so keeping up a healthy stock of collagen is important for us all, including kids who are growing fast.
