Collagen Product Grade Analysis

Grade Name Process Examples Pros/Cons Physics
GRADE 1

Standard Collagen Raw materials from cattle and pig skin, crushed after removing fat and impurities using decomposition methods.
Commonly sold collagen products on the market.
Large molecular weight cannot be absorbed, and it has a noticeable odor.
Insoluble in water
and extremely sensitive to heat and acid.
GRADE 2

Hydrolyzed Collagen / Amino Acids Raw materials from cattle and pig skin, decomposed with hydrochloric acid after fat removal.
Common animal-based hydrolyzed collagen and amino acid products.
Amino acids are absorbable, but synthesis and utilization rates are low, with common virus risks.
Soluble in water after adding lactose
but still sensitive to heat and acid.
GRADE 3

Plant-based Peptides Extracted from soybean dregs.
Market products like soy isoflavones, kinetin, Q10, etc.
Single-strand structure, small molecules easy to absorb, but only 17 types of amino acids, low recombination effect.
Soluble in water
but poor stability against heat and acid.
GRADE 4

Fish Scale/Skin Hydrolyzed Collagen Raw materials from aquatic products, decomposed into amino acids with hydrochloric acid after crushing, then freeze-dried or spray-dried.
Hydrolyzed collagen with a molecular weight of 3000, produced by large pharmaceutical companies.
Amino acids can be absorbed by the intestines and skin, but the efficacy of synthesizing collagen is poor.
U-shaped molecular weight distribution
soluble in water
GRADE 5

Peptide-grade Collagen Raw materials from fish scales, purified for 24 hours then enzymatically cleaved, deodorized, filtered, and heat-dried.
Innovative technology producing peptide products with a molecular weight of only 1000 Dalton and 98.62% purity.
Can be directly absorbed by the intestines and skin to synthesize enzymes, collagen, and DNA, with excellent effects.
Parabolic molecular weight distribution
directly absorbable and usable
