No, in fact, it does not exist in its natural state: it is a protein of animal origin .

However, it is possible to combine the amino acids representative of collagen (proline, glycine, hydroxyproline, etc.) and absorption catalysts to allow the body to synthesize more collagen .
This is what we did with the ingredient Coll-egan.

Several studies have also demonstrated the effectiveness of this strategy and the supplementation of specific amino acids:

1. Oral supplementation of specific collagen peptides has beneficial effects on human skin physiology: a double-blind, placebo-controlled study - Proksch E, Segger D, Degwert J, Schunck M, Zague V, Oesser S. Skin Pharmacol Physiol.
   
2. Control analysis of collagen synthesis by glycine, proline and lysine in bovine chondrocytes in vitro – its relevance for medicine and nutrition - Patricia de Paz Lugo & al.
   
3. A designer mixture of six amino acids promotes the extracellular matrix gene expression in cultured human fibroblasts" - Laura Tedesco, Fabio Rossi, Chiara Ruocco & Al. Center for Study and Research on Obesity, Department of Medical Biotechnology and Translational Medicine, University of Milan- Italy; and Department of Molecular and Translational Medicine, Brescia University - Italy.

Yes, because partial compensation for collagen loss linked to aging is possible with targeted, daily nutritional intake.

Three approaches are then possible.

1. Consume raw Collagen protein: but bioavailability is average.
2. Consume Collagen peptides (fragments of a protein).
3. Consume specific amino acids that will be reused by the body for the synthesis of new proteins.
   

A study published in 2022 by scientists from the Universities of Milan and Brescia confirmed and measured the validity of the targeted strategy of supplementing with key amino acids.

This option is therefore just as effective but it is more ethical because the animal collagen in options 1 and 2 still comes from waste from the food industry.

For our formula, we wanted to offer a more ethical alternative to traditional formulas.

Indeed, marine and bovine collagen are mainly derived from waste from the food industry. It is therefore often very expensive in terms of energy and often difficult to have real traceability on the origin of the proteins.

Additionally, a 2020 study on several marine collagens showed that 86% of the products tested contained traces of heavy metals.

It's super easy! It doesn't require any preparation.

Simply take 2 capsules per day with a glass of water. Each pill bottle provides a 1-month course of treatment.

The effects vary from one individual to another.
However, after 30 days of treatment, 80% of users surveyed say they see effects on the skin and 70% say they feel effects on the joints.

Yes, maintaining a steady intake of collagen is beneficial for the body and for observing the benefits. Within the recommended doses.

Yes, all of our supplements are suitable for vegans and vegetarian diets. Our Biotin is 100% vegan and certified by the Vegan Society.
