The daily protein people actually enjoy.
Add collagen to your morning coffee, stir it through yoghurt or mix it into pancake batter without adding sweetness or flavour. Chief Grass-fed Collagen Protein Powder is made in Australia with one ingredient: 100% hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides from Australian grass-fed cattle. It dissolves in hot and cold drinks and works just as well in cooking and baking.

What Is Chief Collagen Protein?
Chief uses hydrolysed grass-fed bovine collagen. Hydrolysis breaks collagen down into smaller chains of amino acids called collagen peptides. Chief’s Type I and Type III peptides have an average molecular weight below 1 kDa. The fine powder dissolves readily, so you can stir a serve into tea or water with a spoon.
Collagen has a distinctive amino acid profile. It is particularly rich in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, which are characteristic components of connective tissue.
Why Include Collagen in Your Routine?
-
Skin, hair and nails. Skin hydration and elasticity are among the areas studied in collagen research. Chief also highlights hair and nail care as reasons people choose collagen.
-
Joints, tendons and ligaments. Collagen is a structural component of connective tissue. Research into supplementation has explored joint comfort and function, as well as tendon, ligament and bone health.
-
Training and recovery. A serve adds collagen peptides to a post-workout drink or meal and contributes to your daily protein intake. If building muscle is your main goal, a complete protein such as whey provides a fuller range of essential amino acids alongside a balanced diet and strength training.
-
Digestion and gut health. Chief highlights glycine, glutamine and proline in its gut-health information. The hydrolysed, dairy-free formula gives you an option if whey or sweetened powders leave you feeling bloated. Digestive comfort and tolerance vary from person to person.
How to Use
Chief suggests one 15g serve per day. Stir approximately two heaped tablespoons into 300ml of water, or mix using a shaker or blender. The pack comes without a plastic scoop to reduce plastic use. For an exact serve, weigh out 15g on a kitchen scale.

Independent Lab Results for Heavy Metals and Glyphosate
Third-party tested means an independent laboratory analyses a product sample. Chief’s published screen covers five metals and glyphosate, a widely used herbicide. Trace metals can occur naturally in soil and water, so Chief monitors the amounts present and compares the results with its specifications.
The table includes the food-category reference limits quoted by Chief. Those benchmarks refer to the foods named in each row. Chief lists its own specification for the tested sample separately.
