Great Lakes is known for producing high-quality collagen hydrolysate supplements, made from grass-fed cattle. The brand places a strong focus on purity, transparency of origin and carefully controlled production processes. Great Lakes collagen products are made without unnecessary additives and are often chosen by people looking for clean, collagen-based protein supplements for daily use.

Collagen hydrolysate is a form of collagen that has been processed into smaller protein fragments, resulting in a fine powder that dissolves easily in both cold and hot liquids. This form is often used as a practical protein supplement that can easily be added to drinks such as water, coffee or smoothies.

The raw material is the connective tissue of cattle: hide, bones and tendons. Gelatin is extracted from this first, and is then broken down further into hydrolysate. So it is not a different material, but the same substance in a shorter chain.

Both collagen hydrolysate and gelatin are derived from collagen, but they are usually used in different ways. Gelatin is mainly used in the kitchen and in recipes where a gelling effect is wanted, whereas collagen hydrolysate stays liquid when mixed with liquids.

That is why collagen hydrolysate is often preferred as a supplement form that can easily be added to drinks. If you actually want to make a gel, think of panna cotta, gummies or a thick sauce, then gelatin is the product you need.

The collection centres on two 454 gram powders. The collagen hydrolysate for cold and hot drinks, and the beef gelatin for the kitchen. Both from grass-fed cattle, both a single ingredient, just processed differently.

Each product page lists the amount of protein per serving, the number of servings per bag and the allergen information. Please note that gelatin is not a vegetarian product.

Great Lakes collagen hydrolysate comes from grass-fed, free-grazing cattle and is produced with great attention to quality and origin. The product consists of a single ingredient and is free from unnecessary additives. This focus on purity and origin has been at the heart of the brand's reputation for decades.
