Bovine Achilles Tendon, Calf Skin Collagen is an inert, rigid protein found predominantly in skin, ligaments, bones and teeth. Its most distinctive characteristic in its role as a transmitter of mechanical force is its inelasticity. Bovine Achilles Tendon Collagen is stable for extended periods of time at 2 - 8 deg.
Tendon collagen is native and therefore insoluble without some further treatment.
