Vegan Collagen : the Anti - Age of Vegetable Origin
In addition to the growing interest in the Marine Collagen Dietary Supplements, Supplements based on the Plant Collagen are also depopulating.
In fact, products have been developed to Supplement Collagen Deficiencies for Vegetarians or Vegans as well, although not all of them are different from each other and care must be taken which one to choose.
So let’s find out together what “Vegan Collagen” is, how it is obtained, what it is used for, and how it differs from the Marine Collagen.

Plant collagen: does it really exist?
Well no, the Collagen is a protein exclusive to the animal kingdom and therefore does not exist in nature.
There are similar products but with different characteristics and benefits, such as theAgar Agar (an algae extract that is, however, different on a chemical-functional level and is not useful for promoting skin and joint health), or vegan collagens synthesized in the laboratory obtained from yeasts and bacteria such as the Pichia Patoris.
All of these products, while qualitative, do not have the same benefits of the classic Supplements of Collagen from animal origin.
What is the Best Plant Collagen?
Another alternative, after those already mentioned, would be to take a mix of plant-derived amino acids that can, in some way, mimic the composition of collagen.
The main issue with this alternative is that a mixture of single amino acids may not have the same benefits as hydrolyzed collagen, besides the fact that collagen synthesis requires the proper presence of some vitamins and minerals(Vitamin C above all) and the presence of some important micronutrients such as copper, zinc, and manganese.
This is precisely the reason why we have invested time and resources in the Research & Development of a Vegan Collagen Booster, which does not contain elements of animal origin, capable of stimulate the production of Collagen.
Thanks to an internal study carried out by one of our collaborators, who specializes in Chemistry, we have developed the formulation of the Capsule Food Supplement
DRK – Vegan Collagen which ensures remarkable results due to the combination and synergistic effect of the raw materials within it.
Indeed, it contains:
- Amino acids:
- L-Glycine
- L-Proline
- L-Alanine
- L-Lysine
- Minerals:
- Iron Bisglycinate
- Copper Gluconate
- Zinc Citrate
- Manganese Gluconate
- Liposomal Vitamin C
- Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM)
Plant Collagen: what is it used for?
The main function of Plant Collagen is to“emulate” the benefits of the
Collagen from Animal Origin, making them available even to people who follow a Vegetarian or Vegan diet.
However, unlike Collagen Supplements of Animal Origin, which contain both. Collagen Fibers What useful ingredients for Stimulate and maintain Collagen within our body (such as Vitamin C), Vegan Collagen products contain. ONLY ingredients that Stimulate and maintain the production of Collagen.
This is because, as explained earlier, the Collagen fibers exist solely in the animal kingdom.
