Donkey-hide Gelatin powder
Donkey-hide gelatin, also known as Ejiao, is a highly valued ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It's created by simmering the hide of a donkey and then refining the resulting gelatin into a pure, concentrated powder. This ancient remedy, with a history spanning thousands of years, has health benefits, especially in promoting blood health and overall vitality. Its other aliases, such as Asini Corii Colla and Ass-hide Glue, are also widely recognized.
Key Active Components and Health Benefits
The primary active component in donkey-hide gelatin powder is a rich mix of amino acids, including glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. These are essential building blocks for collagen, a vital protein for skin elasticity, joint health, and connective tissues. Beyond just collagen, Ejiao is also a source of peptides, trace minerals, and other bioactive compounds that are thought to work synergistically. In TCM, it's particularly celebrated for its ability to nourish the blood, replenish yin, and improve overall circulation. These properties are often sought after for addressing issues like anemia, fatigue, and even certain gynecological conditions.
We work with a network of certified donkey farms to ensure our hides are of the highest quality, guaranteeing a pure and potent final product.

We can work with you to create a customized product line, from powders to capsules or even ready-to-drink formulations.

Why Our Bifidobacterium powder?
1. 100% Traceability
We don't just "source" donkey hides; we partner directly with certified, responsible donkey farms. Each batch of raw material is DNA-verified at the source to guarantee it's 100% pure donkey hide.
2. Proprietary Processing Technology
While the traditional method of boiling and concentrating hides is well-known, our nearly 20 years of R&D have allowed us to develop proprietary extraction and purification techniques. This process ensures the maximum retention of key bioactive compounds like collagen peptides, glycine, and proline, while effectively eliminating any impurities or off-putting odors. This results in a cleaner, more potent powder with a more neutral taste and smell, making it easier to integrate into various product formulations.
3. Tailored OEM Solutions
Do you need a fine powder for capsules, a granular form for beverages, or a specific concentration for skincare applications? Our R&D team has a deep understanding of Ejiao's properties and can precisely adjust particle size, solubility, and concentration to fit your exact product specifications. This saves you time and resources on in-house formulation trials. With our extensive experience and certified facilities (e.g., ISO, HACCP), we ensure that every batch meets the strictest global standards, giving you peace of mind and accelerating your product's time to market.
