Why we love Collagen Protein
Collagen protein contains a unique blend of amino acids that support:
Real Food Ingredients
Simple, clean, functional ingredients.
Made for pack flippers
If you ever flip the pack to check the back, you care about what you put into your body, and we do too.
Avoid the Hidden Nasties in Your Protein Bars
You might be surprised by what’s really inside some of the “top-selling” protein and snack bars. 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:
Artificial sweeteners
Like sucralose and acesulfame potassium which are linked to gut disruption and long-term health concerns.
Synthetic emulsifiers
Like soy lecithin - ultra-processed and often completely unnecessary.
Fake flavours and colours
Including tartrazine and Allura Red, banned or restricted in parts of the world.
Fillers and thickeners
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.

Frequently asked questions
Got Questions? We've Got AnswersThe best way to describe the taste would be like a nut butter biscuit. They're sweet but they’re very low in sugar because we use a natural sweetener (monk fruit). We avoid stevia because it can have a lingering aftertaste.
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 like whey. There's also a bunch of new research suggesting it's beneficial for gut health, joint and tendon health, recovery and hair, skin and nails.
We use grass-fed and grass finished bovine hydrolysed collagen peptides from Argentina. We're working on Australia made collagen.
Yes! And more environmentally friendly than other protein sources such as whey, soy and pea.
Collagen is a co-product of animal agriculture which means if we weren't using it for a health food product it'd be going to landfill.
While grass-fed collagen isn't any better nutritionally speaking than grain-fed collagen, grass-fed is kinder to the planet.
When the weather is warm (hello Australian summers!) our chocolate covered options are likely to melt a little in transit. So, the best idea is to pop them in the fridge when you receive them so the chocolate can reset.
It's completely healthy and safe to eat a melted chocolate bar, or to reset it in the fridge which might affect its colour but not its taste.
And, if you leave them in your car or bag and they get destroyed in the summer heat, even a spell in the fridge might not salvage them completely, but don't throw them out! They're made from real food ingredients so they're a healthy and tasty addition to crumble on top of yoghurt, add to smoothies and more!

Chief Collagen bars are an very healthy and natural snack that can be enjoyed daily by anyone. They're also great pre or post workout.
Yes! Our kids love them and our whole range is perfect for kids. They are quite filling though so half a bar will probably be more than enough for the younger ones. Please note they do contain nuts.
Absolutely - that's when many women need more nutrition the most. Still, check with your healthcare provider first since they know your specific situation.
Yes! We don't market them as a "keto" product because strict ketosis followers might have an issue with the small amount of maple syrup in them (which is negligible, contributing <0.5g of sugar per bar) but we have designed the bars in consultation with nutritionists and keto experts who have confirmed they very much qualify as, and are recommended by those experts as, keto friendly.
Our collagen bars contain cashews which are not considered Low FODMAP.

Yes, absolutely. Still, check with your healthcare provider first since they know your specific situation.
No, collagen comes from animal sources so collagen is not vegan. There are plant based "collagen" powders starting to appear which essentially mimic the same amino acid profile of natural collagen, but to date there's not a lot of research showing it's efficacy and the research that does exist suggests you'd need 6 times as much to get a similar effect.
There are also vegan “collagen” products out there that don’t contain any collagen but claim to increase the body's own collagen production.
We do have many customers following a plant based diet who consume our products as a way to get important nutrients without eating meat. Think of collagen as an odourless, tasteless white powdered form of bone broth.
Our collagen range is Halal certified (we export to the Middle East). They're not Kosher, yet.
The collagen bars will last on the shelf for at least 12 months. The date on the product is a best before date, not an expiry date, which means it's a question of taste after that date.
