TRIPEPTIDE Collagen – what's behind 500 Dalton?

What are Tripeptides?

Collagen peptides come in various sizes – measured in the unit Dalton (Da). The smaller the Dalton value, the finer the molecule is hydrolyzed.

While classic collagen peptides have a molecular size of approx. 2000 Dalton, tripeptides go a step further: they consist of only three amino acids and have a molecular size of approx. ~500 Dalton.

Note: No health claims for collagen peptides are permitted in the EU according to Health Claims Regulation (EC) No. 1924/2006. This article serves solely for general information about molecular structure and product properties.

The Difference: 2000 Dalton vs. 500 Dalton

Classic Collagen Peptides (~2000 Dalton)

• Well hydrolyzed, water-soluble
• Proven standard form for collagen supplementation
• Ideal for daily intake in beverages

TRIPEPTIDE Collagen (~500 Dalton)

• Even more finely hydrolyzed – only 3 amino acids per chain
• Dissolves instantly in hot & cold – no clumping, no foaming
• Particularly fine texture – barely noticeable in drinks

What makes TRIPEPTIDE Collagen Powder special?

Extremely fine solubility

Due to its small molecular size of ~500 Dalton, the powder dissolves instantly – in cold and hot beverages, without residue or lumps. Ideal for anyone who values a pleasant texture.

Purity without compromise

• ✔ Hydrolyzed Collagen Type I & III from EU cattle, predominantly grass-fed
• ✔ ~500 Dalton molecular weight – extremely finely hydrolyzed
• ✔ Neutral taste – no inherent flavor
• ✔ No added sugar, no artificial flavors
• ✔ Made in Germany – according to German quality standards

Who is TRIPEPTIDE Collagen suitable for?

• Anyone who already knows classic collagen peptides (2000 Dalton) and is looking for an even finer form
• Those who value maximum solubility
• Anyone who stirs their collagen into cold drinks, smoothies, or water
• Demanding users who pay attention to product quality & transparency

Application

Stir 1–2 servings (2.5g) daily into a beverage of your choice. Dissolves instantly – in hot & cold.

Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Conclusion

TRIPEPTIDE Collagen Powder ~500 Dalton from CollMeCell is the consistent further development of classic collagen peptides. Even more finely hydrolyzed, even faster dissolving, even purer – for anyone who makes no compromises with collagen. From EU cattle, without additives, Made in Germany.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What does 500 Dalton mean for collagen?

500 Dalton describes the molecular size of the collagen peptide chains. The smaller the Dalton value, the finer the collagen is hydrolyzed. 500 Dalton corresponds to a tripeptide structure – meaning chains of only three amino acids. This is significantly smaller than classic collagen peptides with ~2000 Dalton.

What is the difference between tripeptide collagen and normal collagen powder?

Normal collagen hydrolysate typically has a molecular size of 2000–10,000 Dalton. TRIPEPTIDE collagen is hydrolyzed to ~500 Dalton – these are shorter peptide chains with only three amino acids. The practical difference: even faster solubility, even finer texture in drinks.

Is TRIPEPTIDE collagen vegan?

No. CollMeCell TRIPEPTIDE Collagen Powder is derived from hydrolyzed bovine collagen from EU cattle, predominantly grass-fed. Real collagen is always of animal origin – vegan collagen does not biochemically exist.

How much glycine is in TRIPEPTIDE collagen?

Collagen hydrolysate consists of approx. 20–22g glycine per 100g product – regardless of the hydrolysis degree. Glycine is the most common amino acid in collagen and makes up about one third of the total structure.

Can I combine TRIPEPTIDE collagen with Vitamin C?

Yes. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage, teeth and gums – this is an approved health claim according to EU Regulation No. 432/2012. For the collagen powder itself, no approved HCVO claims exist.

Where does the collagen in CollMeCell TRIPEPTIDE come from?

The collagen comes from cattle in the EU, predominantly grass-fed (Bovine, Type I & III). It is processed in Germany according to German quality standards – Made in Germany.
