Collagen is the body's basic building block, and is comprised of amino acids that are used to make up structural proteins like the skin, hair, nails, ligaments and tendons. Collagen production and quality declines as we age, with collagen levels typically lost by around 50% at reaching the age of 50. Decreasing collagen levels and quality leads to wrinkle formation and reduced firmness and tone of the skin. It also compromises the skin's barrier resulting in dryness, breakouts and blemishes.
Vollagen® is a vegan alternative to collagen, designed to deliver the complex of collagen amino acids for the body to utilise and to stimulate the body's creation of further collagen.
In it's native form collagen cannot be absorbed by the body, and so marine collagen is popular because it is hydrolysed to free the amino acids. Collagen is obtained from animal sources, including fish, but Vollagen® is suitable for vegans and vegetarians as it is 100% plant-origin from corn starch (non-GMO). Using a proprietary, multistep fermentation and microencapsulation process, the complex of amino acids is provided in the same proportion as those found within human collagen. The same 18 amino acids in Vollagen® are ready for the body to easily absorb as they are already isolated thus giving another key advantage.
Independent consumer research has shown outstanding results within 60 days, with an intake of just 1000mg Vollagen® per day (2 capsules).
Individuals experienced positive results, many of those reported even after just 30 days. Participant results included:
- Firmer, more hydrated skin
- Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
- More even and radiant skin tone
- Dark circle appearance reduced and less tired looking eyes
- Supple and smoother skin
- Reduced breakouts and blemishes
- Healthier skin appearance and brighter complexion
- Improved nail health, strength and condition
