What it is

Vegetarian Collagen Complex — with hyaluron and elastin

A vegetarian collagen alternative built on eggshell membrane, with hyaluronic acid and elastin — no bovine, porcine or fish collagen, in one to two capsules a day.

  • Vegetarian formula

    Built on eggshell membrane components.

  • No animal collagen powder

    No bovine, porcine or fish collagen.

  • One to two capsules a day

    No mixing, no taste. 180 capsules per jar.

  • Hyaluron and elastin

    Alongside the structural components of eggshell membrane.

Why it matters

Structural components from eggshell membrane — without conventional collagen sources.

Eggshell membrane naturally contains structural components including collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, which occur in connective tissue and skin.

I have been taking the vegetarian collagen from Kollagen Institut for about six months now, and I really believe in it. My skin has improved and I feel better overall too.

    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!

    I have already tried several competing products and am now very happy with this one. Vegetarian is important to me and I get on very well with the vegetarian collagen capsules and already notice a clear improvement after only a short time.

    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.

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 collagen 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 is the source, not the principle: either way you are taking in building blocks your connective tissue can use.

Why are hyaluronic acid and elastin included?

Hyaluronic acid and elastin are natural components of connective tissue. Hyaluronic acid helps bind moisture in the skin and supports hydration, while elastin plays a role in elasticity and firmness. Combined with the vegetarian collagen types, this formula provides broader support for skin and tissue structures.

Is it as effective as animal collagen?

A direct comparison is difficult, because the starting materials are different.

Classic collagen hydrolysate delivers hydrolysed peptides from beef, pork or fish. Our vegetarian collagen delivers collagen types I, V and X in their natural form from eggshell membrane, together with hyaluronic acid and elastin.

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, that is our vegan collagen complex.

How do I take the collagen?

Our collagen fits easily and flexibly into your daily routine.

Powder:
Stir the recommended daily amount into water, coffee, tea, or a smoothie. It is tasteless and dissolves well in both cold and warm drinks.

Capsules:
Take the recommended daily dose with plenty of liquid - ideally with a meal.

When will I see results?

Visible changes typically appear after 4–8 weeks of daily use. Lasting effects build over the course of months.

Why exactly 90 days?

Collagen building is a step-by-step process. 90 days give the body enough time for real structural changes — not just surface-level ones.

Why bioactive peptides — and not just collagen?

These are bioactive collagen peptides — a specific peptide fraction studied clinically for targeted effects. Generic collagen has an undefined peptide structure and is usually not clinically studied.

Is long-term use safe?

Yes. The peptides used have been studied in long-term trials over several years.

Taken daily. Benefits build over time.
