Product Description
Advanced Pro-Collagen Vegan Protein Powder – A complete Nutritional Package for Collagen Production
The first of its kind to mirror the nutritional profile of collagen
Collagen comprises 30% of the protein in the body, yet is entirely missing in vegan diets. Vegan Pro-Collagen is a complete nutritional package, supplying the key building blocks for collagen formation – the correct collagen amino acids at ideal ratios, sufficient protein, and collagen co-factor vitamin C. This unique vegan protein powder is the first of its kind to mirror the amino acid profile of collagen, enriched with precise ratios of hydroxyproline, proline and glycine – the most abundant amino acids in collagen. Each serving offers 11g of protein, from a total of 21 broad-spectrum amino acids – with more essential amino acids than standard collagen supplements. Added vitamin C supports the function of enzymes involved in collagen synthesis, and helps protect against collagen degradation. Vegan Collagen is ideal for anyone seeking plant-based alternatives to standard collagen protein powders and is also suitable as a general protein powder supplement.
Comprehensive plant-based collagen protein powder ideal for shakes, smoothies and foods
Collagen building blocks – enhanced with glycine, hydroxyproline and proline
50% of collagen is made up of three amino acids – glycine, hydroxyproline and proline – which are hard to obtain from plant-based foods. Glycine is the main amino acid present in collagen, though vegetarians and vegans typically obtain less in their diets than meat-eaters and the body also has limited capacity to produce it. Hydroxyproline is almost absent from plant-based foods, with only small amounts found in alfalfa sprouts.
Mirroring the amino acid profile of bovine collagen, PlantProColl peptide blend supplies broad spectrum amino acids, with boosted doses of the 3 main collagen amino acids hydroxyproline, proline and glycine in the optimal 2:1:1 ratio. Compare the amino acid profile of this supplement with any collagen and you may be surprised how similar this vegan protein powder is!
Complete protein powder
Many plant proteins can be difficult to digest and are not complete proteins, making it essential for vegans and vegetarians to consume a wide range of foods to increase intake of essential amino acids. Vegan Collagen provides all 21 amino acids, including lysine, an amino acid typically in shortest supply in a vegan diet, with vegans consuming ~43% less. As a ‘complete’ protein, with 11g protein per serving, this supplement is ideal to top up dietary protein intake.
As well as working together to build important proteins in the body, each amino acid also has multiple roles. Glutamine is important for gut health; cysteine supports glutathione production – a powerful antioxidant produced by the body; tryptophan supports sleep and mood; asparagine supports nervous system health.
BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) include leucine, isoleucine and valine, which are essential and linked to muscle protein synthesis – we provide 1g per dose.
Natural malt taste, ideal for cold drinks and foods
This vegan pro-collagen powder is extremely versatile. While many plant-based protein powders often have strong flavors and a chalky consistency, this plant-based blend has a natural malty taste and is slightly sweet due to the glycine amino acid content (pure glycine is sweet tasting). It’s perfect for blending into cold plant milks, shakes and smoothies. Due to its malt flavor, it’s better in cold plant milks and smoothies than coffee!
It’s also ideal for mixing into your favourite breakfasts and snacks – our nutrition team have successfully added it to porridge, pancakes, protein balls and even soup! Providing 11g protein per serving, it’s ideal for boosting the protein intake of meals, for adults and children, aiding the feeling of satiety and keeping you fuller for longer. It’s low-carb and contains no added sugar or sweeteners.
Skin, hair & nail health
Collagen makes up 75% of the ‘dry weight’ of the skin, and also functions as an important structural component of hair and nails. As we age, not only do levels of collagen fall, but the distribution of collagen fibres also alters; instead of a smooth, even distribution of collagen fibrils, they become increasingly distributed in large, bundle-like aggregates, sparsely arranged through the dermis. Studies suggest that regular collagen supplementation can increase levels of collagen peptides in the skin, where they can be retained for up to 14 days after supplementation.
Supports bones, muscles, ligaments & cartilage
Collagen is the most important and abundant structural protein in the body. Its long, fibrous structure gives bones, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and joints strength and flexibility and forms connective tissue – the ‘glue’ that holds the body together. As a source of dietary protein, this supplement contributes to growth and maintenance of muscle mass, and the maintenance of normal bones.
Replenishes collagen lost with ageing and due to lifestyle factors
Collagen levels naturally reduce from about age 35; by age 60, over half of the body’s collagen has been depleted. Collagen is also negatively affected by nutritional deficiencies, genetics, pollution, excessive sun exposure and smoking.
Supplementation can help replenish declining levels, ensuring enough collagen is present to support its various important functions in the body. Additional vitamin C in this supplement protects against collagen degradation.
