VEGAN ingredients

Kolagin® VEGAN composition:

Comprehensive 100% vegan nutrition for joints, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, skin, hair, and nails.

Kolagin® VEGAN combines collagen-typical amino acids with fermented chondroitin of non-animal origin, glucosamine, two molecular sizes of hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and minerals. The formula does not contain animal collagen or other ingredients of animal origin.

Main ingredients

·       Vollagen® – a vegan collagen alternative made from a specific combination of amino acids.

·       MyCondro® – fermented chondroitin sulfate of non-animal origin.

·       Glucosamine hydrochloride – part of a comprehensive joint formula.

·       Hyaluronic acid 0.8–1.5 MDa – high molecular weight form.

·       Hyaluronic acid 0.1–0.4 MDa – low molecular weight form.

·       Vitamin C – contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage and skin.

·       Zinc – contributes to normal protein synthesis and to the maintenance of normal skin, hair, nails, and bones.

·       Manganese – contributes to the normal formation of connective tissues.

1. 

Vollagen® - plant-based alternative to hydrolyzed collagen

Vollagen® is a complex of amino acids of non-animal origin, formulated in a ratio corresponding to the amino acid profile of collagen. It represents a vegan alternative to hydrolyzed collagen peptides and is characterized by very good solubility.

The daily dose of Kolagin® VEGAN contains 1,000 mg of Vollagen®, which corresponds to the dose used in the manufacturer's study. Vollagen® is produced from corn starch without the use of genetically modified raw materials.

2. Key building blocks and cartilage support

Glucosamine and MyCondro® – chondroitin sulfate from fermentation

Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are substances naturally present in joint cartilage. In Kolagin® VEGAN, we use glucosamine of non-animal origin and MyCondro® – chondroitin sulfate produced by controlled fermentation without the use of animal tissues.

MyCondro® represents a pure and precisely defined vegan alternative to conventional chondroitin sulfate obtained from animal sources. Its properties and bioavailability have been evaluated in human pharmacokinetic and clinical studies.

A daily dose of Kolagin® VEGAN contains 400 mg of MyCondro®.

When incorporating MyCondro® as a raw material, we relied on the professional documentation and study results provided by the manufacturer Gnosis by Lesaffre.

Two forms of hyaluronic acid

High molecular weight (0.8–1.5 MDa): Ensures the necessary viscosity and cellular structure.

Low molecular weight (0.1–0.4 MDa): Has different physical characteristics for maximally effective integration into the formula and penetration into tissues. The combination of both forms contributes to a technologically balanced composition for long-term use.

Why it's in Kolagin®: Hyaluronic acid is a natural magnet for water – it can bind up to a thousand times its weight. In joints, it acts as a shock absorber and an essential lubricant protecting cartilage. In the skin, it fills the space between collagen fibers, giving it volume, firmness, and deep hydration. Together with collagen, it forms an unbeatable duo for overall body rejuvenation and the return of lost mobility.

Amino acid base

Contains added Glycine, L-proline, and Lysine, which are absolutely key amino acids and primary building blocks for the formation of strong collagen fibers in the body.

3. Vitamins and minerals

Vitamin C (for collagen formation): We use a laboratory-pure form of L-ascorbic acid for higher stability. Approved claim: Vitamin C contributes to collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage and bones.

Mineral support (Zinc, Copper, Manganese): We use highly bioavailable chelated forms (bisglycinate) for zinc and copper. Manganese is in the form of gluconate, which is proven, stable, and gentle on digestion.

Bamboo extract: Serves as a natural source of silicon (silicon dioxide), a mineral naturally occurring in connective tissues.

Why they are in Kolagin®: For collagen to function properly in the body, it cannot do without cofactors – key minerals and vitamin C. Science proves that these substances act as catalysts, ensuring that the body genuinely incorporates the supplied collagen into the skin, hair, and joints. At the same time, they act as antioxidants protecting cells from premature aging. This mutual synergy amplifies the overall effect of the product and ensures that the body gets the maximum from each dose.

4. Quality and comfort of use

BIO ingredients: The formula includes selected organic raw materials (BIO citric acid, BIO maltodextrin, BIO inulin), which enhance the quality and gentleness of the entire product.

Comfort of use: Natural steviol glycosides, erythritol, and magnesium anti-caking agent with natural lemon flavor promote a pleasant taste, stability, and easy preparation of the drink. Natural flavor is added for a subtle taste balance and maximum comfort during long-term use.
