What is collagen?

Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in the human body. In food and supplements, collagen is often mentioned in relation to supporting the body. Our bodies produce collagen themselves, but from around the age of 25, production gradually declines. There are several types of collagen, each with its own structure and origin (source).

Why vegan collagen?

Unlike traditional supplements containing animal-derived collagen (such as from fish, cattle or chicken), vegan collagen contains no animal components. Yet it can be just as effective because it works on a biomimetic principle: it stimulates your body to produce its own collagen.

The products we offer contain Vollagen®, an innovative, 100% plant-based complex that provides amino acids in the exact proportions found in human collagen. These amino acids are already isolated and therefore readily available for absorption by your body. This also helps you avoid potential risks such as allergens, heavy metals or variable quality that can occur with animal sources. (source)

The ingredients in collagen

Vegan collagen products such as Vollagen® consist of carefully formulated amino acids and supporting nutrients.

Vollagen® contains glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, Lysine and threonine, among others. These are all important building blocks in our bodies. Because these amino acids are already combined in the right proportions, they can be used efficiently wherever your body needs them. (source)

Supporting nutrients

Our collagen products combine these amino acids with nutrients including:

• Biotin
• Vitamin C
• Zinc and Selenium
• Silicon and copper

Collagen safety and possible side effects

Vegan collagen supplements such as Vollagen® have been extensively tested. No side effects were observed in studies with 60 and 90 participants. (source) & (source)

They contain no animal-derived allergens, are free from heavy metals and are produced using a patented fermentation technique based on non-genetically modified maize.

Thanks to their pure formulation without fillers, artificial additives or anti-caking agents, these supplements are also suitable for people with food sensitivities or sensitive skin.
