Further Insights
Cartilage is a rich whole-food source of type II collagen, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), and peptides that nourish the connective tissues most impacted by movement, age, and wear. Unlike hydrolyzed collagen powders, our freeze-dried cartilage preserves the cofactors and complexity nature intended—supporting joint integrity with naturally occurring structural nutrients.
Each serving provides 1,200 mg of type II collagen, naturally occurring within our grass-fed bovine cartilage. Unlike hydrolyzed powders, this collagen is delivered as part of a complete food matrix—supporting joint resilience and tissue integrity without the need for synthetic isolates or processing aids.
Cartilage is rich in naturally occurring glycosaminoglycans, like chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid, that help support joint lubrication, flexibility, and hydration. These compounds form part of the cartilage’s structural matrix, working in harmony to promote smooth movement and resilient connective tissue.
Unlike isolated extracts, our cartilage provides naturally integrated nutrients—working in synergy to support mobility, flexibility, and connective tissue health. This whole-food format delivers the cofactors your body needs in the proportions nature designed.

FAQs
There have been studies analyzing the best time of day to supplement with Collagen, and both early morning and late evening consumption have produced similar outcomes, so there is no conclusive evidence that taking collagen at a certain time of the day will produce better results. What it really comes down to is what is most convenient for the individual, and ensuring that, regardless of the time of day, that you are incorporating it into your daily routine consistently. The same is going to be true for consuming all six capsules at once vs. spreading the dosage throughout the day, as well as on an empty stomach or with a meal. Do what fits best into your routine and will allow you to stay consistent.
No. Cartilage Collagen is a whole-food supplement, not a hydrolyzed collagen peptide product.
Unlike hydrolyzed collagen—where proteins are broken down into isolated fragments through high-heat or enzymatic processes—our formula uses freeze-dried bovine cartilage from both the trachea and scapula. This method preserves the native structure and synergy of collagen alongside naturally occurring compounds like chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine, and other glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).
Rather than delivering isolated collagen fragments, Cartilage Collagen provides a comprehensive matrix of joint-supportive nutrients in their whole-food form—allowing your body to receive them as nature intended.
New Zealand is entirely GMO-free, so the grass that these animals graze on is non-GMO. Because these pastures are being used for grazing, not growing crops, there is no need to treat the area with pesticides. However, to ensure the product's safety, all of the lots we produce are subject to Enviromedica’s rigorous quality control program, which includes testing for heavy metals, microbiological contaminants, harmful chemicals, and screening for allergens.
The gelatin used in our capsules is pure bovine gelatin. While other brands may use the cheaper sourced porcine gelatin for the manufacture of capsules, Enviromedica's commitment to quality ensures that we use only the finest ingredients in every aspect of our products.
At Enviromedica, we source the highest quality ingredients from around the world. However, not all ingredients can be accurately described as organic. This certification refers to specific farming methods that avoid synthetic chemical pesticides and fertilizers, employ happier, healthier, humane treatment of animals, and utilize more sustainable environmental practices with higher quality soil. As far as farming goes, organic is the gold standard.
Beyond grass-fed and grass-finished, pasture-raised New Zealand cows have earned their place as the healthiest, highest quality bovine available worldwide. New Zealand adheres to the same exemplary health standards - free of antibiotics and synthetic growth hormones - while allowing their cows the freedom to graze and roam as nature intended. In this case, the standard for Organic would impede the farmer’s ability to allow for fully pasture-raised cows. These animals spend the entire duration of their existence grazing in open pastures and are not fed any grains, organic or conventional, so they cannot be labeled "organic".
Bottomline: Sourcing is everything. While not every product we formulate is stamped organic, our ingredients will always be of the purest and highest quality available. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any further questions.
Unfortunately, our Encapsulated Organ Meats are not certified Halal. That being said, as it relates to the processing of the animals, this activity is done in a low stress and peaceful atmosphere in a humane and respectful way.
As whole-food supplements, the precise nutrient contents of our encapsulated organ meats will vary slightly from lot to lot, depending on the individual cow from which it is sourced and the season in which it was harvested. Just as the grass-fed beef, beef liver, or other organ meats that you would purchase from a local farmer or butcher will vary slightly depending on the specific cow, where it grazed, and the season in which it was processed, the same is true for our whole-food supplements. Like our ancestors, we do not regularly perform full nutritional assays and embrace the wisdom that incorporating nutrient-dense organ meats into the diet can provide many benefits.
Some general information can be obtained from the in-depth articles provided in the Learn section on our website.
Yes, our freeze-dried organ meats are regularly tested for heavy metals and microbiological contaminants both pre and post-encapsulation. We've attached a Certificate of Analysis for your reference.
The ranchers that raise our animals do not use glyphosate on their open pasture land, so it is not tested for. However, the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries regularly performs testing on cattle as a precautionary practice. To date, no New Zealand bovine (or bovine products) have been identified with detectable levels of glyphosate, which is one of the many reasons the country is globally considered second to none regarding its strict animal husbandry practices.
