Vegan Collagen Booster

Collagen is an essential form of protein in our body and is mainly found in connective tissue. The protein is composed of amino acids, the most important of which are proline, glycine and hydroxyproline. Collagen is important for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. It nourishes the skin from the inside out, so to speak. We can produce collagen ourselves, but unfortunately its production decreases from the age of 25, causing more and more wrinkles or fine lines.

Vegan collagen booster
In addition to humans, animals can also produce collagen. Therefore, we can replenish the amount of collagen in our body through our diet. But for people who live a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, traditional animal collagen is not an option. This is where our Vegan Collagen Booster comes in. A full-fledged 100% plant-based alternative to animal-derived collagen supplements. Vegans and vegetarians need not compromise on quality and results as far as we are concerned.

VeCollal®: first scientifically proven vegan collagen booster
For the Vegan Collagen Booster, Vitakruid has chosen VeCollal®, a formula based on more than 70 scientific studies. VeCollal® has a unique feature: the plant-based formula mimics the amino acid profile of human type 1 collagen 100%! Type 1 collagen accounts for as much as 90 percent of the total collagen in our bodies. The remaining 10 percent consists of type 2-28 collagen.

Research has shown that VeCollal® increases collagen production by 135 percent (see chart below). In addition, clinical testing has shown that the patented formula gives similar results to animal collagen. The three natural powerhouses ginseng, vitamin C and asiaticoside complete the VeCollal® formula.

Sustainable collagen
Because the production of the Vegan Collagen Booster takes place in the Netherlands, it has a low carbon footprint. This is because the product does not have to be transported long distances, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Vitamin C: partner in crime
We have added vitamin C to all of our collagen products. The reason for this is that vitamin C is an important partner for collagen. This is because Vitamin C contributes to the formation of collagen, which is important for the skin.* In addition, the resistance vitamin is important for blood vessels, bones, cartilage and strong teeth.*

With vitamin D and zinc for the bones
In addition, we have added vitamin D and zinc to the Vegan Collagen Booster. Both nutrients are important for bone maintenance, play a role in tissue growth and development, and support the immune system.* Zinc also plays a role in building body protein, is good for hair and nails, and helps keep skin healthy.* Vitamin D helps keep teeth strong and plays a role in maintaining strong, supple muscles.*

Essential for vegetarians and vegans
There are no natural sources of collagen in the diets of vegetarians and vegans. It is possible to get the right amino acids for collagen from various plant foods, such as legumes, nuts, seeds, grains, vegetables and fruits. But in doing so, it is important to follow a varied diet and consume enough of these foods. This can be a challenge for some people.

Little zinc and vitamin D in diet
Moreover, it is difficult for this target group to get enough vitamin D and zinc. Plant products contain relatively less zinc, and absorption of the mineral from these foods is less efficient than from animal foods. Vitamin D is mainly found in animal products such as fatty fish, eggs and liver. There are plant sources of vitamin D, such as mushrooms and fortified foods, but these generally contain less vitamin D than animal products.

Vegan Collagen Booster contains only substances from plant sources. The vitamin D form Vita-algae D®, for example, comes from algae, which, like humans, produce vitamin D3 from sunlight.

The ease of use of tablets
The Vegan Collagen Booster is available in easy-to-use tablets. Ideal if you are often on the go and don't have time to mix collagen into a drink, bowl of yogurt or soup. Moreover, you do not have to dose yourself and there is no mess. The action of collagen in tablet form is the same as in powder form.

Taste no problem
Bovine collagen is generally tasteless and you can add it to drinks or food without any problem without changing the taste. Viscollagen is also virtually flavorless, so masking taste was not an issue in development. The Vegan Collagen Booster did not meet our standards without the addition of flavoring, so we opted for a tablet form. Tablets are flavorless because they are covered with a layer that prevents the tablets from coming into direct contact with the taste buds in the mouth.
