MAYVER'S NO SUGAR POWDERED PEANUT BUTTER 160g

There are couple of reasons why bovine was the preferred source of collagen;

1. Marine collagen is considered an allergen so would exclude individuals with any fish allergies from consuming the product.

2. Bovine collagen has a more rounded amino acid profile which includes type 1, 2 & 3 peptides while marine only offers type 1.

Unfortunately, our Collagen is derived from Beef (bovine). It is incredible difficult to source a vegan/plant based collagen as collagen is naturally derived from beef (bovine) or marine (fish). Plant based collagens are made from a mixture of amino acids from plant based sources to mimic the proportions found in collagen.

It is possible that some farmers choose to incorporate Bovaer® in their cattle feed, as it is a feed additive designed to reduce methane emissions from livestock. However, we want to reassure you that this does not pose any food safety risks to the gelatin and bovine collagen peptides sourced from such cattle.

Our collagen supplier has confirmed that, according to the Gelatin Representatives of the World (GROW), gelatin and collagen peptides derived from bovine materials remain safe for consumption, even if Bovaer® has been used in the cattle feed. Additionally, several credible regulatory bodies have evaluated the safety of Bovaer® and its use in cattle feed, including:

1. Expert Commentary: Insights from an Australian Professor on Bovaer® and its role in cattle feed - Link to Article

2. EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) Approval: Full assessment of Bovaer® - Link to EFSA Approval

3. UK Safety Assessment: Official evaluation of the additive - Link to UK Safety Assessment.

We fully understand the importance of food safety, quality, and regulatory compliance. Our company is committed to these principles and operates in line with HACCP certification standards, ensuring that all our suppliers adhere to GFSI-recognized food safety certifications.
