Big Food – Premium Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides – 4 x 400 g (3+1 freel)

What is this product – and what is bovine collagen?
Collagen is a structural protein that naturally occurs in the skin, bones and connective tissue of humans and animals. Bovine collagen is collagen sourced from cattle; in this product the collagen is hydrolysed, meaning it has been broken down into smaller peptide fragments. These smaller collagen peptides dissolve more easily and mix smoothly into drinks and foods.

Big Food chooses to offer collagen in a simple, neutral-tasting powder intended as an extra source of protein alongside your normal diet. No flavours, no sweeteners, no multi-ingredient blends – just bovine collagen in a format that’s easy to use every day.

Why choose this collagen powder (bovine)?
Traditional protein powders are often based on milk (whey/casein) or plant proteins such as pea, rice or soy. This product focuses on collagen from bovine hide and connective tissue, providing a different amino acid profile. It’s naturally rich in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline – amino acids that are characteristic of collagen. You don’t use it to replace all other protein, but as a supplementary protein source that fits seamlessly into a busy lifestyle.

Because the taste is neutral, you can stir the powder into almost anything: coffee, tea, smoothies, yoghurt, porridge, soups or stews. There’s no need to overhaul your diet – you simply top up your usual meals and drinks with extra protein. This 4-pack makes it easy to give collagen a permanent place in your cupboard and your daily routine, without having to reorder every few weeks.

Quality & Origin
The collagen peptides in this product are derived from bovine collagen and processed using hydrolysis to create fine, easily soluble peptides. Every batch is produced in line with standard European food safety regulations. By deliberately choosing just one clearly defined ingredient, Big Food keeps the formulation clean and transparent.

The philosophy is straightforward: generous pack size, honest composition, no unnecessary frills. One substantial 400 g tub – here supplied as a 4-pack – so a single purchase keeps you going for a long time.
Big Food stands for large formats, clear labelling and products that work in real life – without unnecessary additives.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is bovine collagen?
Bovine collagen is a type of protein derived from cattle, typically from the hide and connective tissue. These raw materials are processed and heated, then the collagen is hydrolysed into smaller peptide chains. In this form it becomes a fine powder that mixes easily into liquids and foods without forming a gel like traditional gelatine. The result is a protein powder with a characteristic collagen amino acid profile that’s simple to dose and use.

How do I fit this collagen powder into my daily routine?
The big advantage is how easy it is to use: add a scoop to your morning coffee, stir a spoonful into your smoothie, or mix some into your yoghurt, porridge or soup. Because the taste is neutral, you don’t need to reinvent your recipes. Pick one or two fixed moments in the day (for example breakfast and an afternoon drink), link 5–10 g of collagen to those, and you’ll quickly build a consistent habit.

What does the protein in this powder do?
This collagen powder is high in protein – almost all of its energy comes from protein. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass and to the maintenance of normal bones. You can think of it as extra building blocks to support your everyday diet. A varied, balanced diet remains essential; collagen powder is designed as a supplement, not a replacement for complete meals.

How much collagen should I take per day?
Most people take between 5 and 10 grams per day, depending on their preferences and overall protein intake. You can start with about 5 g daily and see how it fits – for example in your first coffee or morning shake. If you’d like to increase your protein intake, you can gradually move up to 10 g per day, split across one or two servings. If you have specific health conditions or nutrition questions, a dietitian or healthcare professional can help tailor the amount to your needs.

Is this product suitable for vegetarians, vegans or children?
No. This product is made from bovine collagen and is therefore not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. Big Food Collagen Peptides are primarily intended for adults. For children or adolescents, use should only be considered in consultation with a doctor or nutrition professional to ensure total protein intake is appropriate for their age and needs.

Does it contain allergens or other additives?
The ingredient list is intentionally short: 100% hydrolysed collagen peptides from bovine source. According to the manufacturer, no flavourings, sweeteners, preservatives, gluten, soy, milk, egg, nuts, peanuts, fish or shellfish are added. Beef is not one of the main EU “top 14” allergens, but if you know you are sensitive to bovine products, it is sensible to proceed with caution and seek professional advice if needed.

How long will this 4-pack last and how should I store it?
With a daily intake of 5 g, one 400 g tub will last around 80 days. At 10 g per day, it will last about 40 days per tub. With four tubs you have a comfortable long-term supply. Store the tubs in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight, and keep them tightly closed. Use one tub at a time and keep the unopened tubs further back in a cupboard at room temperature.
