From our family ranches in southern Brazil and Argentina, we bring you nutraceutical-grade collagen supplements traced to specific heritage-breed cattle, raised on traditional pastures by families who have perfected their craft across generations.
Explore Our Heritage CollagenThe Arantes legacy began in 1923 when my great-grandfather João established our first ranch in Rio Grande do Sul. He understood something that modern science is just beginning to prove: the quality of collagen depends entirely on how cattle are raised.
Four generations later, we continue his tradition of raising heritage-breed cattle on native grasses. Our cattle roam freely across thousands of acres of natural pastures, developing the robust amino acid profiles that create superior collagen.
We work exclusively with family ranches that share our commitment to traditional methods. Every batch of collagen we produce can be traced back to the specific ranch, breed, and even the season of harvest. This level of transparency reflects our family's dedication to excellence that spans nearly a century.
When you choose Arantes, you become part of our extended family. You receive not just a supplement, but a piece of our heritage and the accumulated wisdom of generations who understood that true quality cannot be rushed or compromised.
Pure cold-processed collagen peptides from heritage-breed grass-fed cattle in Rio Grande do Sul and Mendoza Province. Each batch maintains complete traceability to specific ranch and breed.
Heritage grass-fed collagen combined with whole-food Vitamin C from organic Camu Camu berry. Vitamin C acts as co-factor for the enzymes that convert proline and lysine during collagen synthesis.
Convenient daily sachets combining grass-fed collagen peptides with Vitamin C. Perfect for travel or busy schedules while maintaining our commitment to heritage quality.
Every batch traces to specific heritage ranch, cattle breed, and harvest season. Complete documentation available upon request for transparency.
Individual batch certificates document amino acid composition, with minimum 12% hydroxyproline content verified by third-party laboratories.
Exclusive use of traditional cattle breeds like Criollo Argentino and Aberdeen Angus raised on native grasses without growth hormones or antibiotics.
Gentle cold-processing methods preserve natural molecular structure and bioactivity while maintaining optimal molecular weight distribution.
Heritage breeds like Criollo Argentino and Aberdeen Angus have adapted to specific environments over centuries. This adaptation, combined with native grass diets, creates distinct amino acid profiles. Our documentation shows these cattle consistently produce collagen with higher hydroxyproline content compared to commodity sources.
Every container of Arantes collagen can be traced to the specific ranch, cattle breed, and harvest season. We maintain detailed records of ranch location, pasture conditions, cattle breed lineage, and processing date. This information is available upon request for complete transparency.
Vitamin C serves as co-factor for prolyl hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase, enzymes essential for collagen synthesis in your body. Without adequate Vitamin C, your body cannot effectively convert the proline and lysine from collagen peptides into functional collagen. Our Camu Camu source provides whole-food Vitamin C with natural bioflavonoids.
Cattle raised exclusively on native grasses develop different amino acid profiles compared to grain-fed cattle. Grass-fed cattle from our heritage ranches show consistently higher hydroxyproline content in their collagen. The varied native grasses in southern Brazil and Argentina provide complex nutrients that affect collagen composition.
Our collagen peptides maintain molecular weights between 3,000-6,000 Daltons through controlled cold processing. This range is specifically chosen based on research suggesting optimal absorption and bioavailability. Larger molecules may be less efficiently absorbed, while smaller fragments may not provide complete amino acid profiles.
