Gelatin Peptides: High-Quality Protein Solutions for B2B Functional Nutrition
Gelatin peptides, also known as hydrolyzed gelatin, are gaining significant attention in the functional nutrition sector for their versatile applications in joint health, skin wellness, and protein supplementation. As a B2B solution, gelatin peptides provide functional food, nutraceutical, and medical nutrition brands with an effective protein source that meets the increasing demand for scientifically backed and consumer-friendly ingredients.
As a full-range peptide manufacturer, we are recognized as a Chinese industry standard setter for peptide categories, ranking among the top for small-molecule peptide patents and implementing domestically leading and internationally advanced peptide production technologies. These capabilities allow us to offer high-quality, customizable gelatin peptide solutions to B2B partners worldwide.

What Are Gelatin Peptides?
Gelatin peptides are hydrolyzed forms of collagen, derived primarily from bovine, porcine, or fish sources. Unlike native collagen, gelatin peptides are broken down into smaller molecular weight chains, typically ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 Daltons, enhancing bioavailability and absorption [1].
Key features of gelatin peptides include:
- High amino acid content: Rich in glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, crucial for connective tissue support.
- Solubility and versatility: Easily incorporated into beverages, powders, capsules, and functional foods.
- Enhanced absorption: Small-molecule peptides are more efficiently absorbed in the digestive tract compared to intact collagen.
With advanced hydrolysis techniques and strict quality control, we ensure consistent peptide profiles, which is critical for functional claims in B2B formulations.
Functional Advantages of Gelatin Peptides for B2B Nutrition Solutions
Joint Health Support
Gelatin peptides are widely recognized for their ability to support joint and cartilage health. They stimulate the synthesis of collagen in cartilage and synovial fluid, helping reduce joint discomfort and improve mobility [2].
B2B success case:
We collaborated with a domestic functional beverage brand to develop a joint recovery drink enriched with gelatin peptides. After launch, the product achieved a 30% sales growth within six months, demonstrating strong market acceptance and efficacy.

Skin & Beauty Benefits
In addition to joint health, gelatin peptides contribute to skin elasticity, hydration, and anti-aging effects. By supplying bioavailable amino acids, these peptides stimulate collagen synthesis in the dermis, improving skin firmness and reducing wrinkles [1][2].
B2B success case:
For an international beauty nutraceutical brand, we supplied customized gelatin peptide formulations that enabled product entry into the European market, receiving positive consumer feedback for skin improvement claims.

Protein & Muscle Support
Gelatin peptides also serve as a complete protein source for muscle maintenance and sports nutrition. They can be combined with plant-based proteins, such as soy or pea peptides, to create multi-functional formulations suitable for energy bars, powders, and drinks.
B2B success case:
We developed a gelatin-peptide and plant-peptide blend for a sports nutrition brand. The formulation was used in protein powders and energy bars, receiving favorable market feedback for digestibility and performance support.

Request Samples & ConsultationFAQ
Gelatin peptides are hydrolyzed forms of collagen with lower molecular weight, making them more soluble and bioavailable for functional formulations [1]. For B2B clients, this means easier incorporation into beverages, powders, capsules, and other functional foods without affecting texture or taste.
Peptide activity can be preserved by controlling hydrolysis conditions, molecular weight distribution, and processing temperatures. For product developers, this ensures that the functional benefits for joints, skin, or muscle support are retained throughout manufacturing and shelf life.
Our services include custom peptide profiles, molecular weight distribution, flavor-compatible solutions, and application-specific formulations. B2B partners can co-develop products such as joint support drinks, anti-aging nutraceuticals, or medical nutrition powders, with tailored dosage and functional claims.
All production adheres to GMP, HACCP, and international food safety standards. We provide full traceability of raw materials, supporting B2B clients in meeting domestic and international regulatory requirements, including labeling, allergen control, and functional claims documentation.
Yes. Gelatin peptides can be blended with plant-based peptides (soy, pea), marine collagen, or other functional peptides to create multi-functional formulations. This allows B2B brands to target multiple health benefits, such as joint, skin, and muscle support, in a single product.
Typical daily dosages range from 5–15 grams for joint and skin support, depending on product form and target claims. Our technical team can assist B2B partners in defining optimal dosages for drinks, bars, capsules, or powders based on target efficacy and regulatory guidelines.
