Non-GMO • Gluten-free • No added sugar • No artificial colours • No preservatives
Vollagen®
A 100% vegan alternative to collagen made up of a specific combination of amino acids.
MyCondro®: high bioavailability supported by a study.
A distinctive part of the formula: fermented chondroitin with high bioavailability supported by a study. Without ingredients of animal origin.
In a comparative study, non-animal chondroitin sulphate produced approximately 44% higher blood plasma concentrations after 24 hours and 45% higher concentrations after 48 hours than the animal-derived chondroitin tested.*
* The study in healthy volunteers assessed a single 2,400 mg dose and concentrations after subtraction of baseline values. A daily serving of Kolagin VEGAN contains 400 mg of MyCondro®. The results concern the raw material studied, not the finished Kolagin VEGAN product. Volpi et al., 2019 — view the study ↗

Ingredients and scientific background in detail
Vollagen® – amino acid complex
Vollagen® is a complex of non-animal amino acids combined in a ratio that matches collagen’s amino acid profile. It is a vegan alternative to hydrolyzed collagen peptides and has very good solubility.
A daily serving of Kolagin® VEGAN contains 1,000 mg of Vollagen®, which corresponds to the dose used in the manufacturer's consumer evaluation. Vollagen® is made from corn starch without genetically modified raw materials.
Consumer evaluation of Vollagen®
The Vollagen® raw material was evaluated in consumer testing conducted by Ayton Global Research. A total of 55 women took 1,000 mg daily for 60 days and used questionnaires to assess the appearance of their skin and the condition of their nails. The evaluation concerned the Vollagen® raw material.

Glucosamine and MyCondro®
Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are substances naturally present in joint cartilage. In Kolagin® VEGAN, we use non-animal glucosamine and MyCondro® — chondroitin sulfate produced by controlled fermentation without animal tissues.
MyCondro® is a pure, 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 serving of Kolagin® VEGAN contains 400 mg of MyCondro®.
Our decision to include MyCondro® was based on scientific documentation and study results supplied by its manufacturer, Gnosis by Lesaffre.

A carefully selected combination of two forms of hyaluronic acid
High molecular weight (0.8–1.5 MDa): Provides the required viscosity and cellular structure.
Low molecular weight (0.1–0.4 MDa): Has different physical characteristics for effective incorporation into the formula and penetration into tissues. Combining the two forms contributes to a technologically balanced formula for long-term use.
Why it is in Kolagin®: Hyaluronic acid naturally attracts water and can bind up to a thousand times its own weight. In joints, it acts as a shock absorber and lubricant that protects cartilage. In the skin, it fills the space between collagen fibres, providing volume, firmness and deep hydration. Together with collagen, it forms an effective combination for overall rejuvenation and restoring lost mobility.

Amino acid foundation
It contains added glycine, L-proline and lysine, key amino acids and primary building blocks for the formation of strong collagen fibres in the body.
Vitamins and minerals
Vitamin C (for collagen formation): We use a laboratory-pure form of L-ascorbic acid for greater stability. Authorised 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 (bisglycinates) for zinc and copper. Manganese is provided as gluconate, an established, stable form that is gentle on digestion.
Bamboo extract: A natural source of silicon (silicon dioxide), a mineral naturally found in connective tissues.
Why they are in Kolagin®: Collagen needs cofactors — key minerals and vitamin C — to function properly in the body. Science shows that these substances act as catalysts, ensuring that the body incorporates the supplied collagen into skin, hair and joints. They also act as antioxidants, protecting cells from premature ageing. This synergy multiplies the overall effect of the product and ensures that the body gets the most out of every serving.
