What Is Chief Collagen Protein?
Chief uses hydrolysed bovine collagen. Hydrolysis breaks collagen down into smaller chains of amino acids called collagen peptides, which dissolve easily in hot or cold food and drinks. The powder provides Type I and Type III collagen and is particularly rich in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, amino acids found in connective tissue.
Why Include Collagen in Your Routine?
-
Skin, hair and nails. Research into collagen supplementation has explored skin hydration and elasticity. Chief also highlights hair and nail care as reasons people choose collagen.
-
Joints, tendons and bones. Collagen is a structural component of connective tissue. Researchers have studied collagen supplementation in relation to joint comfort and function, tendons, ligaments and bone health.
-
Muscle recovery and training. A serve adds protein to a post-workout drink or meal. For muscle growth and maintenance, pair strength training with a balanced diet and enough total protein. A complete protein such as whey provides a fuller range of essential amino acids as a primary protein source.
-
Gut health and digestive comfort. Chief highlights glycine, glutamine and proline in its gut-health information. The Creamy Vanilla recipe also includes S. officinarum prebiotic fibre. Digestive comfort varies by person, particularly for anyone sensitive to dairy.
How to Use
Chief suggests one 15g serve per day. Mix approximately two heaped tablespoons with 300ml of water using a spoon, shaker or blender. To reduce plastic, Chief leaves the scoop out of the pack. For an exact 15g serve, use a kitchen scale.

Dietary and Allergen Information

Independent Lab Results for Heavy Metals and Glyphosate
Third-party testing means an independent laboratory analyses a product sample. Chief’s published screen covers lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, chromium and glyphosate, a widely used herbicide. Trace metals can occur naturally in soil and water. Chief monitors their levels against its own specifications.
The food-category benchmarks quoted by Chief are shown separately from the specifications it uses to assess the sample.
