Our skin is naturally equipped with adaptive antioxidant systems that have evolved to fight the signs of aging but are they enough?
Fortunately, there is a magic ingredient called Collagen peptide that has proven to reduce wrinkles, stretch marks, pigmentation, photoaging and other signs of aging by healing us from within and is supported by hardcore science.
But where does this protein come from? How is it sourced? Can it become a part of your vegan, ketogenic or Paleogenic diet?
With the massive popularity and love for veganism, it's very natural for companies to come up with products that are vegan-friendly. But is there such a thing as a truly vegan collagen supplement? (The short answer is no).
Since collagen is a protein found in connective tissues, most collagen products, powders, and liquids are sourced from animals and fish. So, there is no ‘Vegan /Plant based collagen supplement’ present in the market today.
Companies promote their product by writing "builder" in small font to fool their customers. Vegan collagen builders which are not a match to true hydrolyzed peptide supplements.
Let’s take a deep dive in the world of collagen supplements and how we can also benefit from its age defying benefits.
What is Collagen?
Collagen is a protein our body makes naturally. It makes up about a third of our body. It is also the most abundant component of our skin and is the decisive protein that maintains the skin structure and enables its numerous functions to take place.
Due to age-dependent reduction in the collagen production in our body, our skin begins to lose its structural integrity and age.
Clinical studies have proven to improve skin hydration, elasticity and density after regular ingestion of hydrolyzed collagen peptides.
In layman’s language it promises to make the skin look younger and brighter, our hair and nails stronger, and scars and stretch marks to fade away.
How does our body make collagen?
Predominantly, collagen is made up of 3 amino acids — Glycine, Proline, and Hydroxyproline, which together accounts for about 50% of the total amino acid profile. When combined with vitamin C, these amino acids together form procollagen. This is called collagen synthesis.
How Do Collagen Supplements & Powders Work?
Synthesis of collagen is a simple process and requires naturally occurring amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. The market is overflowing with Collagen Building products- powders, pills, and drinks that merely infuse the necessary ingredients for the collagen building process to occur in our body.
These collagen options should not be confused with collagen products that do contain pre-made collagen peptides.
The collagen supplements that contain high doses of collagen peptides, in a liquid or dissolvable powder form, work to trigger something called a wound repair response in the body. These supplements are far superior because they don’t just aid in the natural collagen production of the body, but directly refill the body with collagen molecules in the most absorbable form.
Can Collagen Supplements & Powders Be Vegan?
The clear and scientific answer is no. There is no such thing as vegan collagen powders.
You can walk into your local grocery store and buy a COLLAGEN BUILDER that contains a combination of vitamins, and minerals designed to support your body’s collagen production without the use of actual collagen molecules in the supplements.
These plant-based “collagen” supplements are focused on providing collagen building blocks rather than collagen itself.
Collagen sources can be Marine, bovine, porcine, and chicken. However, a marine alternative has been shown to be more effective and more sustainable than animal source collagen.
Why we should not waste our money on collagen 'builders'?
The best way to have a collagen drink alternative is to supplement your lifestyle with actual food sources that can help build and produce collagen in the body. All of the ingredients formulated in plant-based collagen builders can easily be obtained from a healthy plant-based diet and can help you reap the benefits that these builders promise.
MARINE COLLAGEN: WHY IS IT SUPERIOR TO OTHER SOURCES OF COLLAGEN?
Marine collagen peptides contain a higher concentration of hydroxyproline than other types of collagens.
Hydroxyproline peptides stimulate cells in the skin, bones, and joints, leading to collagen synthesis.
Marine collagen contains type I and type III collagen, which is what makes up 85% of our skin’s collagen — it’s truly the building block of our skin’s structure. Other collagen sources only contain Type II collagen, which can be beneficial for joints but won’t do anything for your dermis.
On top of that, Marine collagen is up to 1.5 times more absorbent than bovine, porcine, or chicken collagen, because of its superior bioavailability.
