VegeCol is a pure and highly bioavailable protein amino acid blend which provides a specially tailored amino acid profile similar to that found in marine and bovine collagen, enriched with BCAAs to also provide support to muscle, all while being 100% vegan fermentation derived. No animal products, with all the benefits of animal collagen.
Collagen is an excellent protein source for supporting healthy connective tissue such as joints, bones, and muscle fascia, as well as maintenance of healthy hair, skin and nails. However, collagen is only found in animals (bovine collagen is made from beef connective tissue, and marine collagen is made from shark cartilage and fish skin), which makes it unsuitable for vegans and vegetarians.
VegeCol is the first true vegan collagen on the market to directly provide the amino acids required to build connective tissue and protect skin, hair, joints, nails and muscle. Being made up of a blend of individual amino acids, this formula mimics completely hydrolysed collagen making it extremely bioavailable, meaning the serving size can be much smaller while the formula goes much further than regular collagen (meaning it's a great alternative to collagen even for meat-eaters!). Individual amino acids do have a bitter taste compared with collagen, so we do recommend you mix VegeCol in with another drink to help improve the taste.
Animal collagen also contains hydroxyproline, where VegeCol does not. However, dietary hydroxyproline cannot be used by the body to make collagen directly, but rather is first metabolised to glycine. The hydroxyproline found in our bodies’ collagen is instead made from dietary proline. This formula has been carefully designed by experts with this in mind to optimise supply of the necessary aminos to enhance and support healthy collagen production.</
