Collagen is a vital protein for our skin, nails, hair, bones, and joints, essential for our body's health. But for vegans or vegetarians, what's the alternative, and how can it benefit your body?
For the health-conscious, the morning smoothie or coffee isn't complete without a scoop of collagen, known for strengthening connective tissue. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and is a crucial component of bones, skin, muscles, tendons, and cartilage, helping tissues to be strong and resilient, capable of withstanding stretching. The catch is that collagen is derived from animals, which complicates matters for vegetarians and vegans. This is where Iswari's Vegan Collagen Booster comes in.
As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, and factors like excessive sunlight, exposure to free radicals, poor diet, and inactivity also degrade collagen production. Even by age 25, collagen levels begin to decline. That's why collagen supplementation has become a popular and effective way to supply the raw materials needed to maintain and improve our body's functioning.
At Iswari, we use Vollagen® in our Vegan Collagen Booster formula. What is this? It is an amino acid complex that mimics collagen, providing exactly the same ratio found in human collagen, but with significant advantages over typical collagen supplementation. Vollagen® is produced through a patented multi-stage fermentation and microencapsulation process, resulting in a blend of amino acids rather than just a simple combination of individual amino acids. Moreover, it is free from contamination by heavy metals or other toxic materials that can occur in animal-derived collagen.
In addition to Vollagen®, the Iswari Vegan Collagen Smoothie Booster also incorporates antioxidants such as vitamin C, and maca, creating a formula for radiant skin, a healthy immune system, hormonal balance, and overall well-being. The vitamin C in this formula acts as a protective skin antioxidant, helping to boost collagen production and contribute to protecting cells against damage caused by free radicals. Maca supports the balance of the hormonal system.
Vollagen® contains ingredients that stimulate the body to produce its own collagen. This is achieved through a blend of amino acids that play a crucial role in collagen synthesis. For instance, the Vollagen® used by Iswari comprises the same 18 amino acids found in the human body (Alanine, Arginine HCI, Aspartic Acid, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, L-Histidine, L-Isoleucine, L-Leucine, L-Lysine HCI, L-Methionine, L-Proline, L-Serine, L-Threonine, L-Tyrosine, L-Valine, L-Phenylalanine, Hydroxyproline, Hydroxylysine). There are many (28) types of collagen, differentiated by where they are formed and used in the body, but the building blocks are the same. While some technologies attempt to directly mimic individual types of collagen, this is largely irrelevant because, when ingested, the body takes these building blocks and uses them wherever needed. Vollagen® provides the building blocks for any type of human collagen.
Vollagen® is a superb choice for those looking to naturally, ethically, and sustainably enhance the health of their skin, joints, hair, nails, and bones without resorting to animal-derived ingredients. In the case of Vollagen® used at Iswari, there are two key advantages that are not found in animal-derived collagen:
- The amino acids are already isolated, making them more easily absorbed by the body.
- Vollagen® is suitable for vegans and vegetarians, containing no animal by-products.
- Improve Skin Health
Independent consumer tests have demonstrated remarkable results within 60 days of regular Vollagen® use. The study revealed that skin became more hydrated, smooth, and firm. There were also improvements in skin tone, which appeared more radiant and healthier-looking. Dark circles, wrinkles, and fine lines were reduced, and eyes appeared less tired. Consumers also reported that their skin was less prone to pimples and blemishes.
- Improve Hair and Nail Health
In the same test, consumers also reported that after regular use of Vollagen® for 60 days, their nails became stronger, healthier, and less brittle.
- Support Muscle Regeneration
Collagen can also be beneficial for those who engage in physical activity, aiding in muscle recovery and tissue regeneration after exercise.
