- Better for those with sensitive stomachs than other proteins such as whey.
Chief Grass-Fed Collagen Protein Powder is a hydrolysed bovine collagen powder made from Australian grass-fed cattle.
Hydrolysed collagen is collagen that has been broken down into smaller chains called collagen peptides, which makes it easy to dissolve into hot or cold food and drinks.
Chief Collagen naturally provides Type I and Type III collagen peptides and is particularly rich in the amino acids glycine, proline and hydroxyproline.
No artificial flavours. No artificial sweeteners. No sugar alcohols. No fillers.
Collagen supplements are commonly used to increase dietary intake of collagen peptides and their characteristic amino acids, particularly glycine, proline and hydroxyproline.
Research into hydrolysed collagen supplementation has investigated areas including:
- Skin hydration and elasticity
- Joint comfort and function
- Connective tissue
- Tendons and ligaments
- Bone health
Collagen shouldn't be thought of as a replacement for a balanced diet, sufficient total protein intake or strength training.
It is also different from whey protein. If your main goal is building muscle, a complete protein such as whey is generally the more appropriate primary protein source.
Yes. Chief Collagen is independently laboratory tested as part of Chief's quality-control process.
Testing includes contaminants such as:
- Lead
- Arsenic
- Cadmium
- Mercury
- Chromium
- Glyphosate
We publish testing information so customers can see what has actually been tested rather than relying only on a generic โlab testedโ claim.
What does third-party tested mean?
Third-party testing means a product sample is analysed by an independent laboratory rather than relying solely on testing performed by the brand or manufacturer itself.

Avoid the hidden nasties in your protein powder
You might be surprised by whatโs really inside some of the top-selling protein powders. Look closely and you'll find a cocktail of ultra-processed junk your body doesnโt need and they're all things we leave out:
Likeย sucraloseย andย acesulfame potassiumย which are linked to gut disruption and long-term health concerns.
Likeย soy lecithinย are ultra-processed and often completely unnecessary.
Includingย tartrazineย andย Allura Red, banned or restricted in parts of the world.
Likeย maltodextrinย 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
Our Collagen is Lab 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? |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 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. Thatโs why we test โ 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.

- Rated 5 out of 5 stars5 days agoDaily collagen
Iโve been using this collagen for quite a while in my breakfast smoothie with banana and spirulina, very nice
Amanda F.Verified BuyerReviewingGrass-fed Collagen Protein Powder - Unflavoured - Rated 5 out of 5 stars5 days agoGreat for the digestion & sleep!
I have been using the unflavoured collagen powder for a month now & even though that is not long I have noticed my sleep has improved - it is deeper & I wake earlier feeling refreshed. I know it is helping my digestion too as I donโt feel bloated & am regular which is great because I have Hashimotos which makes for a sluggish system. I have it blended in my morning pod coffee with zero taste - I am looking forward to seeing other improvements over time.
Jo F.Verified BuyerReviewingGrass-fed Collagen Protein Powder - Unflavoured - Rated 5 out of 5 stars6 days agoLove this collagen powder
I absolutely love this collagen protein powder! Itโs unflavoured, so itโs really easy to add to my breakfast, smoothies or other drinks without changing the taste. It mixes in well and is such an easy addition to my daily routine. Iโll definitely keep buying it!
Joadi C.Verified BuyerReviewingGrass-fed Collagen Protein Powder - Unflavoured - Rated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoMy Knees Love
I have been taking this collagen powder for a few months now and have noticed improvements in my knee joint pain. The best thing about this collagen powder is that I can add it to anything and not taste it - my morning coffee or my morning smoothie, or my evening hot chocolate and it helps me reach my protein count as well.
Belinda R.Verified BuyerReviewingGrass-fed Collagen Protein Powder - Unflavoured - Rated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoCollagen So Easy
The unflavoured is such a versatile and easy way to add collagen to anything you are eating or drinking.
I add a serve to my morning black coffee, and it does not alter the taste in any way. I also add to batches of almond flour muffins or to smoothies. So good for you and so easy.
Julianne O.Verified BuyerReviewingGrass-fed Collagen Powder - Unflavoured - Rated 4 out of 5 stars1 week agoIt's pretty good but.........
I'm finding the Chief unflavoured collagen to be pretty good but have deducted a star because a) you have to use a fair amount to get a good dose of collagen compared to other brands, and b) why is the packaging on Chief powders so big? You could fit double the amount in the bags.
CNChief Nutrition1 week agoThanks Julie, really appreciate your feedback and your support!
Re the dose, other brands recommend a higher dose but that doesn't mean their collagen has more collagen or protein, it's just a higher recommended serving. We chose 15g as that's what's supported by the research data around the benefits of collagen over other types of protein, i.e. more than 15g doesn't give additional benefit. That said, if you're taking collagen for more protein in your diet there's no reason why you can't choose to use a higher serve.
Re the bags, this is because of the way that type of bag is packed and transported. When it's being packed, the large gusset along the bottom of the bag that helps it stand on its own is not fully extended. That means the powder goes much closer to the top and we need to give plenty of space so the bag can be sealed. We use this type of bag because they can pack quite flat in transport which makes them more efficient to move around which means less food miles and helps minimise the cost you pay. When you open the bag with the gusset along the bottom fully extended this makes the bag look relatively empty but it's more a quirk of the bag than being an oversized packet.
I hope that makes sense and thanks again!
Julie B.Verified BuyerReviewingGrass-fed Collagen Powder - Unflavoured - Rated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoGreat, versatile product

I have just started using collagen powder. Great quality, very fine texture which makes it easy to mix into your food or drinks in many ways. I personally mix the unflavoured collagen powder with Greek yoghurt and into my protein shake. Would highly recommend ๐๐ผ

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes, our flavoured versions have 11g of protein (unflavoured is 14g protein per 15g serve). This is collagen peptides for skin, joints, gut and daily protein top-up, not a 25g post-gym whey scoop. Stack with food or Chief whey if you want both.
-
Dissolves in hot or cold liquids. Grab our rechargeable frother for the easiest protein mixing you've ever had.
-
Yes. Hydrolysed collagen peptides can be mixed into hot drinks such as coffee.
-
There is no single required time of day to take collagen. For most people, consistency is more useful than trying to take it at a particular time.
-
Collagen is best for supporting muscle recovery, joints, skin, hair, nails, and gut health.ย
Wheyย is best for supporting muscle growth, weight management and to stabilise blood sugar levels.
-
Collagen peptides are made by extracting collagen from animal connective tissue and then breaking the larger collagen proteins into smaller chains of amino acids using a process called hydrolysis.
For bovine collagen, the collagen-rich material is cleaned and processed, then the collagen is typically hydrolysed using enzymes. The resulting smaller peptides are filtered, concentrated and dried into a fine powder.
This process is what turns collagen into hydrolysed collagen peptides that dissolve easily in hot or cold liquids.
Hydrolysis does not create a synthetic proteinโit simply breaks naturally occurring collagen into smaller peptide chains that are easier to use in food and supplements.
-
Collagen isnโt a complete protein in the same way whey is, because it doesnโt contain meaningful amounts of L-tryptophan which is one of the nine essential amino acids your body canโt produce on its own.
But that doesnโt mean collagen canโt 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 itโs 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 youโre eating a varied wholefood diet that includes foods like meat, eggs, dairy, fish, nuts or seeds, youโre 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.
-
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.
