Vegan Collagen BuilderVitakruid

Vegan collagen builder
Like humans, animals can also produce collagen. This means we can supplement the amount of collagen in our body through our diet. However, for those who follow a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, traditional animal-based collagen is not an option. This is where our Vegan Collagen Builder comes in. A fully 100% plant-based alternative to animal-derived collagen supplements. We believe vegans and vegetarians shouldn't have to compromise on quality and results.

VeCollal®: the first scientifically proven vegan collagen builder
For this Vegan Collagen Builder, we have chosen VeCollal®, a formula based on more than 70 scientific studies. VeCollal® has a unique property: the plant-based formula mimics the amino acid profile of human type 1 collagen 100%! Type 1 collagen accounts for a whopping 90 percent of the total collagen content in our body. The remaining 10 percent comprises types 2-28 collagen.

Research has shown that VeCollal® increases collagen production by 135 percent. Furthermore, clinical tests have demonstrated that the patented formula yields results comparable to animal collagen. The three natural powerhouses ginseng, vitamin C, and asiaticoside complete the VeCollal® formula.

Sustainable collagen
Since the production of the Vegan Collagen Builder takes place in the Netherlands, it has a low ecological footprint. The product doesn't need to be transported over long distances, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Essential for vegetarians and vegans
There are no natural sources of collagen in the diets of vegetarians and vegans. It's possible to obtain the right amino acids for collagen from various plant-based foods, such as legumes, nuts, seeds, grains, vegetables, and fruits. However, it's important to follow a varied diet and consume enough of these foods. This can be challenging for some people.

Low zinc and vitamin D in diet
Additionally, it can be difficult for this group to get enough vitamin D and zinc. Plant-based products contain relatively less zinc, and the absorption of the mineral from these foods is less efficient than from animal products. Vitamin D is mainly found in animal products such as oily fish, eggs, and liver. There are plant-based 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 plant-based ingredients. The vitamin D form Vita-algae D® is derived from algae, which, like humans, produce vitamin D3 from sunlight.

The convenience of tablets
Vegan Collagen Builder is available in convenient tablet form. Ideal if you're often on the go and don't have time to mix collagen into a drink, a bowl of yoghurt, or soup. Moreover, you don't need to measure it out yourself, and there's no mess. The effectiveness of collagen in tablet form is the same as in powder form.

No problem with taste
Vitakruid's Bovine Collagen product is generally tasteless and can be added to drinks or food without altering the taste. Vitakruid's Fish Collagen is also almost tasteless, so masking the taste was not an issue during development.

Vegan Collagen Builder did not meet our standards without the addition of flavourings, so we opted for a tablet form. Tablets are tasteless because they are coated with a layer that prevents them from coming into direct contact with the taste buds in the mouth.
