What is the problem with the collagen industry?
It's no secret that there are an incredible number of collagen products out there and it can be a bit of a jungle to find out what best suits your needs and budget. I (Thomas, Co-Founder) found myself in the same situation back in 2020 where for various reasons I was looking for a collagen supplement that would meet my high standards for purity and sustainability.
It was impossible to find a biodynamic collagen supplement, so I had to find an organic alternative that met the same animal welfare, ethics, and farming practices.
I quickly dismissed using fish collagen – as I didn’t have much confidence in how even sustainable fishing was practiced and its effect on the marine ecosystem. There were some bovine collagen supplements available but they weren’t organic and it wasn’t particularly clear where the raw materials came from.
I was very surprised when I quietly found out that the vast majority of companies that sell collagen powder do not have direct quality control over raw materials and production and have never had contact with the supply chain and production that their collagen powder goes through.
The companies hire large manufacturing companies to produce their collagen powder without ever having held a fish carcass, marrow bone, or piece of skin in their hands. It may seem to you that these companies are just a hollow shell of marketing whose sole focus is glowing, supple skin.
I became increasingly alarmed by how standard collagen powder is manufactured in giant factories using chemicals and techniques that unnecessarily burden our environment.
When I talk about standard collagen powder, I'm talking about ultra-processed, white, and easily soluble powders, which are very far from how we originally extracted collagen.
Modern collagen production is a good example of us humans getting too smart and a good idea – namely utilizing a side stream product – going too far. The traditional collagen industry has sacrificed sustainability for ease of use and the ability to support an insatiable beauty industry.
I felt like I had to boil and drink my Bone Broth forever and shoot a white stick for having a convenient collagen product that I could use when I didn't have Bone Broth in the fridge.
However, that was until Frederik and I were awarded a so-called Innobooster together with the Danish Technological Institute where we received 1.3 million DKK to develop the most sustainable collagen powder to date based on Danish biodynamic and organic marrow bones.
The project lasted over a year and a half, and we learned an incredible amount. So much so that today we have a unique and innovative collagen powder that we can vouch for in terms of both content and sustainability.
The product would never have become a reality without Frederik's indomitable will and technical skills. Ultimately, he had to remodel our kitchen in Herlev to accommodate a 2.5 ton bone crusher and large 600 liter stainless steel tanks so that we could optimally utilize the raw materials and create a product that was possible for the average consumer to buy.
*The image below shows our upgrade from 35 liter pressure cookers to a 600 liter pressure cooker, making the process easier for us, the product cheaper for you, and saving resources.
However, we ultimately had to abandon making the product exclusively from Danish biodynamic marrow bones - as the raw material base was too small, but we have found an alternative in Danish and Swedish organic farmers that we can live with, are proud of and that is far better than what already exists out there in the collagen jungle. Our Nordic collagen powder gives you the opportunity to use a quality product without worry.
An innovative and sustainable product:
The organic bone broth liquid produced before drying is made from free-range Nordic and grass-fed cattle from sustainable farming. The bone broth liquid is then gently reduced to powder via spray drying.
The boiling and spray drying process has been specially developed in collaboration with the Danish Technological Institute to preserve molecules such as collagen and hyaluronic acid while controlling factors such as temperature, cooking time, pressure, flow rate and raw material concentration. The Innovation Fund of Denmark under the INNObooster program financed the project for approximately two years. You can read more about the development of the product and the good results here in collaboration with the Danish Technological Institute.
The specially optimized manufacturing process ensures a documented content of protein, collagen and essential amino acids in an easily absorbable form, while preserving the hyaluronic acid, which is typically destroyed by excessive heat.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and makes up over a third of all tissue. This protein is essential for skin, hair, connective tissue, tendons, muscles, etc. The product is easily digestible and well tolerated by everyone. Through our manufacturing process, we achieve a molecular weight for the collagen peptides of around 8 kDa (kilodalton).
This may provide advantages compared to smaller collagen peptides in terms of reduced degradation and thus longer exposure in the gastrointestinal system. However, the collagen peptides will likely be degraded to a molecular weight that provides both efficient absorption and exposure.Â
Compared to plant-based protein powders, the product has high amounts of certain amino acids, including glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, and arginine. Functional Future Bone Broth powder is certified non-GMO and has been third-party GMP tested and certified for the absence of heavy metals.
The product is by definition an upcycled product, as our company has a unique knowledge of how to utilize a valuable bone matrix raw material that would otherwise go to waste. This makes our sidestream production of Bone Broth Collagen a product with a unique environmental and sustainable profile.Â
The packaging is completely compostable and biodegradable. The product is mainly produced with electricity from Nordic biogas plants. Our products do not contain preservatives or additives.Â
Solubility and hyaluronic acid:
Hyaluronic acid, also known as "nature's best lubricant," is a disaccharide with a chemical composition that makes it easy for water molecules to bind.
Our production of collagen powder is based on Bone Broth liquid, the hyaluronic acid content of which depends on the season, origin of raw materials and drying parameters. Therefore, you will experience that the solubility of the powder may change from time to time.
This is not a sign that there is anything wrong with the product. Batches with a high concentration of natural Hyaluronic Acid will be more difficult to dissolve and have a higher tendency to clump than batches with a lower concentration.
The positive aspect of the lower solubility is the higher content of hyaluronic acid, and one must consider whether to forgo better solubility in exchange for more hyaluronic acid. However, the problems are only seen in situations where the product is dissolved directly in cold water and partly in hot water.
If you use the product in smoothies, baked goods, cooking, etc. where the product is stirred - this is not a problem. Should you not be satisfied with the use of the product, our 100% satisfaction guarantee always applies and you will get your money back without questions ( link ).
We are constantly working to ensure a product that is as user-friendly as possible - but it is a difficult balancing act, as we do not want to use additives. The product is also available in capsule form, so you avoid problems with solubility.

What is the difference between our Biodynamic Bone Broth liquid and our Organic Bone Broth Collagen powder/capsules?
To make our collagen powder We have simply taken neutral Bone Broth liquid and gently dried it into a Bone Broth powder. It is Bone Broth condensed into a convenient and tasteless powder.
However, we lose some of the hyaluronic acid in the manufacturing process, so you should choose our liquid Bone Broth with a high hyaluronic acid concentration if this is the most important thing rather than collagen. Our liquid Bone Broth ( link ) is flavored with vegetables, herbs and will add a higher level of umami to dinner dishes etc. - so this is also an argument for choosing the Bone Broth liquid.
However, most people combine the two products, taking the collagen powder daily and supplementing with liquid Bone Broth a few times a week. Our Bone Broth Collagen Powder in capsules gives you and your family an easy way to take your collagen supplement.
We would recommend taking our Bone Broth Collagen Powder if capsules are not important to you as you get more collagen powder for your money. However, the literature supports daily servings of collagen between 2.5 – 10g, depending on your needs - so both capsules and pure powder are good alternatives to each other.
