A collagen protocol takes time.The research took time. So does building a routine.
Eggshell membrane studies run for weeks. That is why a protocol needs one thing above all: consistency.
Clinical studies How long the studies ran
First pilot study
In an open-label pilot study, eggshell membrane was taken daily for 5 weeks.
Studied over weeks
Randomised, double-blind and placebo-controlled: one study followed participants for 8 weeks.
Studied over months
The most recent and largest study, also double-blind and placebo-controlled, ran for 12 weeks.

Hooray --
— after 3 weeks of taking it I have the feeling that the depth of my wrinkles is reducing somewhat, and that my feet are doing better too (misalignments, overstretched tendons and ligaments – these seem to be strengthening thanks to collagen + foot exercises). I am very glad that I found this v e g e t a r i a n collagen!

Collagen Complex Vegetarian
Taking it for about 2 weeks. No change so far but probably still too early. But no side effects either. So carry on and keep observing.

Good during the menopause
I resisted collagen for the longest time, as I did not want to take anything derived from cattle. Then I discovered the vegetarian version from Kollagen Institut. For me the collagen is a high-quality, well-tolerated solution that fits into my daily life. I used to struggle with joint pain ... an unpleasant side effect of the menopause, I think. But since I have been taking the collagen regularly, the pain has disappeared. An unexpected bonus is the positive effect on my skin, which was originally rather secondary for me.
Translated from German
Gut in den Wechseljahren
Habe mich die längste Zeit vor Kollagen gesträubt, da ich nichts einnehmen wollte, was vom Rind stammt. Dann habe ich die vegetarische Variante vom Kollagen Institut entdeckt. Für mich ist das Kollagen eine hochwertige, gut verträgliche Lösung, die sich in meinen Alltag integrieren lässt. Früher hatte ich mit Gelenkschmerzen zu kämpfen ... eine unangenehme Begleiterscheinung der Wechseljahre denke ich. Doch seit ich das Kollagen regelmäßig nehme, sind die Schmerzen verschwunden. Ein unerwarteter Bonus ist der positive Effekt auf meine Haut, was für mich ursprünglich eher zweitrangig war.

A good combination of collagen, hyaluron and elastin. Everything my skin needs. Regular use makes the big difference! So do not despair if you see nothing after two weeks... wait three months, and ideally take a before-and-after picture – then you will see the difference!

an outstanding collagen alternative
I was very pleased when I found this "animal-free" collagen alternative. A reputable company, with study evidence etc. After two months I see an improvement above all in my fingernails. I hope for further improvements over time.

RossmannJun 2024★★★★★
vegetarian and good
Collagen is of course an animal product, which makes it hard for committed vegetarians like me. Hence the vegetarian collagen as an alternative, to achieve the positive effects without an animal product too. What convinces me: the collagen has been tested in studies and the effect demonstrated.
Translated from German
vegetarisch und gut
Kollagen ist ja ein tierisches Produkt, das macht es schwer für überzeugte Vegetarier wie mich. Daher das vegetarische Kollagen als Alternative, um die positiven Effekte auch ohne tierische Produkt zu erzielen. Was mich überzeugt: Das Kollagen ist in Studien getestet und die Wirkung nachgewiesen worden.

A very good collagen. I am in my late forties and am lucky to have quite good genes, so that I pass more for early forties. Still, you do of course have to do something, and I am happy with the vegetarian collagen. I feel and above all see a clear improvement in my face. I even have the feeling that a little glow has appeared.
Translated from German
Sehr gutes Kollagen. Bin Ende vierzig und habe das Glück ganz gute Gene zu haben so dass ich eher als Anfang vierzig durchgehe. Dennoch muss man natürlich was tun und mit dem vegetarischen Kollagen bin ich happy. Spüre und vor allem sehe eine deutliche Verbesserung im Gesicht. Habe sogar das Gefühl dass ein kleiner Glow entstanden ist.

Easy on the stomach
I tried all sorts of products from the competition and in the end my stomach unfortunately never tolerated them long-term. This one is better for me and my stomach. I have been on it for 6 weeks now and my stomach does not complain at all. At least as important: my skin is doing better. Thank you!!!
Translated from German
Leicht für den Magen
Habe bei der Konkurrenz allerlei Produkte probiert und am Ende hat es mein Magen leider nie dauerhaft vertragen. Das hier ist besser für mich und meinen Magen.

better skin
every skin type is of course different but I can say for myself that I have already tried a lot of things to get my skin under control. nothing really worked. so why not try collagen too when so many people rave about it? you do have to be patient, it is no magic weapon, but after about 6 weeks something happened for me. my skin is getting better and better. if it all stays this way now I am delighted.
Translated from German
bessere haut
jeder hauttyp ist natürlich anders aber ich kann für mich sagen dass ich schon viele sachen ausprobiert habe um meine haut in den griff zu kriegen. nix hat so richtig funktioniert. warum dann nicht auch mal collagen ausprobieren wenn so viele davon schwärmen? man muss schon geduld haben es ist keine zauberwaffe aber nach ca 6 wochen hat sich bei mir was getan. meine haut wird immer besser und besser. wenn jetzt alles so bleibt bin ich begeistert

Out of conviction
I have been using the vegetarian collagen from Kollagen Institut for about 6 months. And out of deep conviction. Not only have I noticed clear improvements in my skin, I also feel better health-wise overall. It is of course not all the collagen, but it certainly plays its part!

high quality
collagen is important to me, but I absolutely do not want to take collagen from animals. this one is from eggshells. that is animal too, but at least an animal product for which no animals have to die. that works for me. the capsules are easy to swallow and high-dose.

Questions about the vegetarian collagen complex
What the capsules are made of, why hyaluronic acid and elastin are included, and how they differ from classic collagen sources.
What is vegetarian collagen?
Our vegetarian collagen isn’t taken from beef, pork or fish — it comes from eggshell membrane, which naturally contains collagen types I, V and X along with hyaluronic acid and elastin.
That makes the product vegetarian, but not vegan: it contains egg. If you want to avoid animal-derived ingredients entirely, our vegan amino acid complex is the alternative.
How is it different from conventional collagen?
Conventional collagen usually comes from beef, pork or fish. Our vegetarian collagen comes from eggshell membrane instead, which naturally contains collagen types I, V and X along with hyaluronic acid and elastin.
So the difference lies mainly in the source.
Why are hyaluronic acid and elastin included?
Hyaluronic acid and elastin are natural components of connective tissue and occur in eggshell membrane alongside collagen types I, V and X.
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that binds large amounts of water and sits in connective tissue as a filling substance between the fibres. Elastin is the protein that gives tissue its stretch — where collagen provides tensile strength.
They are therefore not additives but accompanying substances from the same natural source.
Who is the vegetarian collagen suitable for?
For people who would rather not take collagen from beef, pork or fish, it is a vegetarian option. If you are looking for something entirely free of animal ingredients, you will find it in our vegan amino acid complex.
How do I take the capsules?
2 capsules a day with enough liquid.
Taken every day, with your goal in mind.
