What it is

Vegan Collagen Alternative — an amino acid complex

A fully plant-based alternative to collagen: a vegan amino acid complex of 16 amino acids, obtained by fermentation from maize – in capsule form for daily intake.

  • 100% plant-based

    No animal-derived ingredients – no beef, pork or fish.

  • 16 amino acids

    In a ratio modelled on the amino acid profile of collagen.

  • Pure formula

    Amino acid complex in a cellulose capsule shell – no added flavourings, sweeteners or colours.

  • 4 capsules a day

    180 capsules per jar – for 45 days.

Why it matters

Amino acids rather than collagen — plant-based rather than animal.

A plant-based product cannot contain collagen. This formula therefore provides free amino acids in a ratio modelled on collagen – with no animal-derived ingredients at all.

the vegan collagen really convinced me!

How our collagen peptides are made

From collagen to bioactive peptides.

Free amino acids, obtained by fermentation from maize.
Raw materialMaize-based fermentation.

The amino acids are obtained by fermentation in a multi-stage process – without any animal-derived ingredients.

Composition16 amino acids in a fixed ratio.

The ratio is modelled on the amino acid profile of collagen. Proline and glycine together make up almost half.

How we check reviews

We collect reviews through the Judge.me service. Reviews marked “Verified” could be matched to an order in our shop. For reviews without this mark, we cannot check whether the person bought or used the product. We show positive and negative reviews and do not change their text. Reviews of different pack sizes of the same product appear together. English and French versions are translated automatically; you can show the original on each review.

  • A good purely plant-based alternative to conventional animal collagen. I have nothing to criticise.

  • The capsules are easy to swallow despite their size. With animal collagen I always had bad burping; my stomach tolerates these capsules really well.

  • The capsules are not small, but they are easy to swallow. I wasn't specifically looking for a vegan product, but I'll gladly take that as a bonus.

  • AnonymousNov 2024
    ★★★★★

    The vegan collagen capsules came in a brown apothecary jar with a screw cap. The jar was sealed, the label looks high-quality. At 180 capsules per jar the pack lasts a decent while. The capsules are ok in size (some product does have to get into the body, after all) and are easy to swallow. The vegan composition is not a must for me, but it makes it very pleasant for me, as I know that I am harming no animal here. What I find convincing is that the vegan collagen made a difference in studies. That is not the case with most competing products.

Questions about the vegan collagen alternative

Why the formula contains no collagen, what role amino acids play, and how to take it.

What is “vegan collagen”?

“Vegan collagen” is a common term for plant-based alternatives to collagen. Real collagen is formed only in animal and human organisms – so a plant-based product cannot contain collagen.

Our vegan amino acid complex contains 16 amino acids that also occur in collagen, in a ratio modelled on it – obtained by fermentation from maize and 100% plant-based.

What happens to the amino acids in the body?

Amino acids are the building blocks of all proteins and a perfectly normal part of the diet. In the complex they are present as free amino acids – not as collagen or collagen peptides.

What the body does with the amino acids it takes in is up to the body itself. An amino acid complex is therefore not a substitute for collagen, but a plant-based alternative for anyone who wants to avoid animal-derived ingredients.

How does the amino acid complex differ from animal collagen?

Animal collagen is obtained from beef, pork or fish and is usually sold as collagen peptides. Real collagen is formed only in animals and humans – so a plant-based product contains no collagen.

Our vegan amino acid complex consists of free amino acids, obtained by fermentation from maize, in a ratio modelled on collagen. It is 100% plant-based and contains no animal-derived ingredients at all.

How do I take the capsules?

4 capsules a day with enough liquid, ideally at the same time of day.

Taken every day, with your goal in mind.
