Increase your daily protein intake while supporting glowing skin, stronger nails, muscle recovery, joints and tendons, and your gut health with clean Australian Collagen Protein!
- A deliciously creamy protein powder combining natural vanilla flavours with Buttermilk, which has the vitamins and minerals of milk without spiking your insulin (buttermilk is a lot lower lactose than milk because fermentation breaks down much of the lactose, so it may be suitable for those who can't normally consume dairy).
- Hydrolysed Grass-fed Bovine Collagen
- Type I and III collagen with a low kilodalton score (highly bioavailable).
- Tested to be free from heavy metals, pesticides and herbicide such as Glyphosate.
- Almost zero sugar, sweetened with monk fruit.
- No artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols.
- Great as a vanilla 'milkshake', with yoghurt, in your smoothie, or with your coffee!
- You can even cook and bake with it.
- Suitable for the whole family (a great way to add extra protein, our kids love it!).
- 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 “lab tested” 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 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
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? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.

"Grass-fed collagen protein powder is one of my absolute favourite protein powder staples and the Chief Nutrition, collagen protein is my absolute go to."
Jess Wilson
Nutritionist
"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
Midwife, Nutrition Consultant
"As a naturopath, I'm always reading ingredient lists and food labels to see what I'm putting in my body. There's so many brands like this that include a long list of ingredients like artificial sweeteners. That's why I choose Chief Collagen Protein Powder."

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.
Whey 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 protein—it simply breaks naturally occurring collagen into smaller peptide chains that are easier to use in food and supplements.
-
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.
-
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.
