Shoucheng Bio’s hydrolyzed type II collagen, also referred to as chicken collagen, is extracted from fresh chicken sternum cartilage using advanced enzymatic hydrolysis technology. This ingredient naturally contains chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid, delivering synergistic functional support in a single raw material. With defined protein content and 100% water solubility, it offers high formulation versatility for commercial users in the dietary supplement and functional food industries.
The ingredient is derived from fresh chicken sternum cartilage, processed via controlled enzymatic hydrolysis technology. This production method preserves naturally occurring mucopolysaccharides (chondroitin sulfate) and hyaluronic acid within the final material. The finished product appears as a white to off-white powder with a characteristic odor, and all particles pass through an 80-mesh sieve.
This hydrolyzed type II collagen is suitable for use in common food, health food, and functional food products. Its core application focus is joint health supplements, where it can be used as a standalone active or combined with glucosamine and MSM formulations. It also supports applications in skin aging defense products and bone health support supplements, expanding formulation possibilities for business buyers.

When formulated into joint health products, this ingredient supports reduced joint pain and stiffness, as well as improved mobility and flexibility. Clinical data associated with type II collagen ingredients shows reductions in WOMAC scores by up to 36.9% with consistent use, making this material a clinically relevant option for targeted joint health formulations.
For skin-focused product development, the ingredient supports increased skin collagen density and enhanced skin elasticity and hydration, which may help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also contributes to support for bone strength and density, and may assist in maintaining lean muscle mass when used in conjunction with regular exercise.
Production follows strict quality control protocols at every stage, from raw material inspection to finished product testing. Heavy metal levels are controlled within strict limits, with lead ≤0.50mg/kg and arsenic ≤0.10mg/kg as core monitoring indicators. All microbial indicators are tested to meet food safety requirements for nutraceutical and functional food applications.
This hydrolyzed type II collagen achieves 100% solubility in water, which simplifies incorporation into liquid formulations, powdered drink mixes, and solid dosage forms. Its compatible ingredient profile allows for combination with a wide range of common functional raw materials, supporting flexible formulation design for different product positioning and target consumer groups.
Yes. This hydrolyzed type II collagen meets a 100% water solubility standard, which supports its use in beverage products, instant powder mixes, and other aqueous formulation systems.
This ingredient naturally contains mucopolysaccharides (chondroitin sulfate) and hyaluronic acid, which provide synergistic functional support alongside the collagen protein content. The minimum standard for mucopolysaccharide assay is 26.00%.
Bulk material should be stored at room temperature in a clean, dry, and ventilated warehouse. Storage areas must be protected from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve product quality throughout the designated shelf life.
Yes. Hydrolyzed type II collagen is compatible with glucosamine, MSM, and other widely used joint health ingredients. Combined formulations can deliver multi-pathway joint support for end users.
