How it differs from similar foods
This collagen powder is typically made from hydrolyzed collagen, meaning the collagen has been broken down into smaller peptides. This process makes it more soluble and easier for the body to absorb compared to unhydrolyzed collagen. It is generally finer than gelatin, which is also derived from collagen but forms a gel when mixed with liquid.
