Vitakruid Vegan collagen builder
Vitakruid Vegan Collagen Builder

Collagen from within
Collagen is an essential protein in our body and is mainly found in the connective tissue. The protein is made up of amino acids, of which proline, glycine and hydroxyproline are the most important. Collagen is important for maintaining the firmness and elasticity of the skin. It nourishes the skin from within, as it were. We can produce collagen ourselves, but unfortunately production decreases from the age of 25, causing more and more wrinkles or fine lines to appear.

Vegan collagen builder
In addition to humans, animals can also produce collagen. This allows us to replenish the amount of collagen in our body through our diet. But for people who lead a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, traditional animal collagen is not an option. Our Vegan Collagen Builder offers a solution. A complete 100% plant-based alternative to collagen supplements of animal origin. In our opinion, vegans and vegetarians do not have to compromise on quality and results.

VeCollal®: first scientifically proven vegan collagen builder
VeCollal® was chosen for this Vegan Collagen Builder, 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 for 100%! Type 1 collagen accounts for as much as 90 percent of the total collagen content in our body. The remaining 10 percent consists of type 2-28 collagen.

Research has shown that VeCollal® increases collagen production by 135 percent. Furthermore, clinical testing has shown that the patented formula provides comparable 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 Builder takes place in the Netherlands, it has a low ecological footprint. The product does not have to be transported over long distances, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Essential for vegetarians and vegans
The diets of vegetarians and vegans do not contain natural sources of collagen. It is possible to get the right amino acids for collagen from various plant foods, such as legumes, nuts, seeds, grains, vegetables and fruit. But it is important to follow a varied diet and consume enough of this food. This can be a challenge for some people.

Little zinc and vitamin D in the diet
Moreover, it is difficult for this target group to get enough vitamin D and zinc. Plant products contain relatively less zinc and the absorption of the mineral from these foods is less efficient than from animal foods. Vitamin D is mainly found in animal products such as oily 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 Builder contains only substances of plant origin. 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
Vegan Collagen Builder is available in easy-to-use tablets. Ideal if you are often on the road and do not have time to mix collagen in a drink, bowl of yogurt or soup. Moreover, you do not have to dose yourself and there is no tampering. The effect of collagen in tablet form is the same as in powder form.

Taste no problem
The Beef Collagen product from Vitakruid is generally tasteless and you can easily add it to drinks or food without changing the taste. Vitakruid's Fish Collagen is also virtually tasteless, so masking taste was not an issue during development.

Vegan Collagen Builder did not meet our standards without the addition of flavorings, so a tablet form was chosen. Tablets are tasteless because they are covered with a layer that prevents the tablets from coming into direct contact with the taste buds in the mouth.
