Multi Collagen Peptides Explained: Types I, II, III, V and X

By the Zespo team · Updated 26 October 2026

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. There are many types, numbered with Roman numerals, and supplements often combine several.

The types and their usual sources

• Type I: the most common type, usually from bovine hide or fish skin
• Type II: usually from chicken sternum cartilage
• Type III: usually from bovine sources, often alongside type I
• Types V and X: found in smaller amounts, commonly from eggshell membrane

What are "peptides"?

Collagen peptides are collagen broken into smaller pieces by a process called hydrolysis, which makes a powder that mixes or encapsulates easily.

Not vegetarian

Collagen comes from animal sources such as cattle, fish, chicken or eggshell membrane, so collagen supplements are not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. Check the source listed on the label.

What to check before you buy

• The amount of each ingredient per serving, not just per capsule
• How many capsules make one serving and how many servings are in the pack
• Whether any ingredient sits inside an undisclosed "proprietary blend"
• An FSSAI licence number and the veg/non-veg mark on the pack
