View productAustralian grass-fed collagen, hydrolysed for fast absorption.
Sourced in Australia. Hydrolysed in Australia. Packed in Australia. Most collagen brands sold here ship raw ingredient overseas, typically to the US, for hydrolysis and then ship the finished powder back. Our entire supply chain stays onshore. Every batch is Type I and III hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides with an average molecular weight under 1kDa, the size that drives high bioavailability. Every batch is independently tested for heavy metals, pesticides and herbicides including glyphosate. Unflavoured delivers 15g of pure collagen per 15g serve. Dark chocolate and creamy vanilla deliver 11g of collagen, sweetened with monk fruit. No artificial sweeteners. No sugar alcohols. No fillers.

Chief Nutrition's collagen protein powder is made in Australia, with every ingredient and its quantity stated on the pack and no proprietary blends.
Start with what goes into the shake. Chief pairs whey with collagen and gets its 23 vitamins and minerals from real food, with no soy, no synthetic premix and no sugar alcohols. The Man Shake uses milk and whey isolate with soy lecithin, soluble maize fibre and a synthetic vitamin and mineral premix, which is part of how it comes in cheaper. It earns real edges though: lower sugar, a little more fibre and a lower price per serve. Pick real-food vitamins and a clean label against lower sugar and price.
Start with what goes into the shake. Chief carries 23 vitamins and minerals from real food, on a short label with no thickeners or added fibres. Tropeaka builds its shake on plant protein and marine collagen, thickened with isomalto-oligosaccharide and pea fibre, its 16 vitamins from an added blend. Both use collagen, so neither is vegan. Chief costs less per serve; Tropeaka answers with a dairy-free plant base and a little more fibre. Pick a clean whole-food label and price against a dairy-free plant shake.
If you value a lab tested Australian collagen, Chief is the better choice; if price per serve is the deciding factor, Nutraviva is cheaper.
The real difference is what is in the tub. Chief is pure 100% grass-fed bovine collagen, third-party tested for heavy metals, pesticides and glyphosate, and flavoured with monk fruit rather than a sugar alcohol. The Collagen Co blends in Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid and Biotin and carries a wider flavour range, and its flavoured tubs use erythritol, a sugar alcohol. Chief is also cheaper per serve, about $1.77 against about $2.82. Pick a pure tested collagen against added actives and more flavours.
Both are grass-fed bovine collagen type I and III, so the collagen is comparable. Chief keeps its tub pure and tested for heavy metals, pesticides and glyphosate, and works out cheaper per gram, about $11.80 a 100 grams against $16. True Protein adds Vitamin C, has more flavours, offers a HASTA-certified collagen for drug-tested athletes and a smaller 10g serve that is cheaper per serve. Pick a pure tested collagen against added Vitamin C and more options.
Both are single-ingredient hydrolysed bovine collagen with nothing else added, so on the ingredient there is little to separate them. Chief's honest edge is Australian grass-fed sourcing and on-page testing for heavy metals, pesticides and glyphosate. Vital Proteins is US-origin, often a little cheaper per 100 grams and far easier to find in pharmacies. Pick on sourcing and testing against price and availability.
