Vollagen®

Vollagen® is a complex of Amino Acids in the same proportion as those found in Collagen.

Collagen is the main structural protein of skin, hair, nails, ligaments and tendons. Native Collagen can’t be absorbed by the body and must be hydrolysed to free the Amino Acids. Vollagen® 1000mg supplies your body with the Amino Acids, ready to be absorbed and from 100% non-animal sources. It's the vegan answer to Collagen!

Collagen is a protein found in the body. It has huge benefits and is a ‘building block’ for the body. It’s found in the connective tissue in skin, hair, nails, ligaments and tendons.

Collagen helps to make tissues strong and resilient and able to withstand stretching. It’s also often used in anti-ageing, as it keeps our skin from sagging, giving us that plump, youthful look. Starting in our mid 20s, we begin to lose collagen so can look to collagen supplements to help boost it.

Collagen isn’t just for anti-ageing. It’s a protein responsible for healthy joints and skin elasticity. It's in your bones, muscles and blood, and it’s essential for our bodies. Our skin is made up of 75% of collagen, and it’s a third of the protein in our bodies. Vitamins for bones help us to make sure our bones stay strong, and a collagen or collagen supplement can keep us healthy.

As you age, your existing collagen breaks down, and it gets harder for your body to produce more. This begins as early as the mid 20s, and we lose 1% of our collagen for every year after that. Other factors including smoking, UV exposure and even what you eat can affect your collagen levels too.

Eating foods that contain vitamin C and antioxidants, avoiding smoking, limiting caffeine intake, and protecting the skin from sunlight may all help preserve collagen or boost its production.

By the age of 50, you will have lost almost 50% of your collagen levels.

Collagen is naturally produced in the body when we are young, but production slows down as we get older. Your early to mid-20s are a great time to think about starting to supplement with collagen and consider taking collagen supplements as part of your diet and daily routine. Research shows that taking 2.5 to 15 grams daily of hydrolysed collagen is safe. A smaller dose benefits your joints and skin, whilst a larger amount may help with body composition and muscle mass.

Without collagen, you may see more wrinkles and a loss of skin firmness and tone. Your skin’s barrier can also become compromised causing dryness, breakouts and blemishes. It can affect your nails, skin and hair too, making them more brittle. This is when hair, skin and nails vitamins can be helpful to stop breakage and keep them strong.

To stay on top of collagen, collagen supplements have become even more popular, and can help boost it when it starts to decline. However, the animal origins of collagen supplements make them unsuitable for vegans and vegetarians.

Signs that your collagen levels have started to decline can vary. They can include:

• Wrinkles and fine lines on the skin including the face.
• Joint pain or osteoarthritis.
• Thinning, greying hair.
• Brittle nails that easily snap.
• Sore muscles that don’t recover easily.
• Problems with blood flow or low blood pressure.
• Decreased bone density.

Vollagen® is a plant based alternative to collagen. Vollagen® is designed to deliver the complex of collagen amino acids for the body, whilst stimulating it to make more. Created from plant based ingredients, it delivers the benefits of collagen without using animals.

Vollagen® is a complex of amino acids similar to collagen. Yet it has two advantages:

• The amino acids are already isolated so ready for the body to easily absorb them.
• Vollagen® is suitable for vegans and vegetarians without any animal byproducts.

Independent consumer testing of Vollagen® has shown incredible results within 60 days of use. Not only did they report firmer, more hydrated and softer skin but also a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. They also found they had an improvement in their health and the appearance of their skin and nails.

The science behind Vollagen® is the key to its incredible results. Scientists carefully studied the amino acid structure of collagen and then put together a complex of amino acids that mirror those found in the collagen. All the benefits are clear, and taking it as part of a daily routine can result in stronger hair, skin and nails.

An independent efficacy study† showed that after 60 days of taking Vollagen® 1000mg, case studies found:

• Firmer, more hydrated and softer skin.
• Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Enhanced radiance and more even skin tone.
• Reduction of dark circles.
• Supple and smooth skin.
• Reduction of breakouts and blemishes.
• Skin appeared healthier and complexion brighter.
• Stronger, healthier nails.
