Is the collagen protein powder vegan?
Is the collagen protein powder vegan?
Unfortunately, our Collagen is derived from Beef (bovine). It is incredible difficult to source a vegan/plant based collagen as collagen is naturally derived from beef (bovine) or marine (fish).
Plant based collagens are made from a mixture of amino acids from plant based sources to mimic the proportions found in collagen.
Why do you use bovine over marine collagen?
Why do you use bovine over marine collagen?
There are couple of reasons why bovine was the preferred source of collagen;
1. Marine collagen is considered an allergen so would exclude individuals with any fish allergies from consuming the product.
2. Bovine collagen has a more rounded amino acid profile which includes type 1, 2 & 3 peptides while marine only offers type 1
Although we are looking to further develop new products within our range, which may be a marine collagen in the future.
