'Vollagen' is a brand new discovery created by one of our favourite supplement brands, Terranova.
The idea of vegan collagen is quite the revelation in the world of collagen supplements, as it’s generally been thought that animal-derived collagen was the only source of ‘true collagen’ on the market.
However, some very clever researchers found a way to create bio-identical, plant-sourced collagen through bacterial fermentation of non-GMO corn.
Firstly, it’s the only plant-based collagen with a complex of 18 amino acids in the exact same position and proportion as those found within human collagen. It provides the building blocks for all human collagen types, allowing the body to utilise these building blocks most appropriately, depending on individual needs.
An independent consumer test showed incredible results within just 60 days of use. This included firmer, more hydrated skin, reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, even skin tone and enhanced radiance, reduction of dark circles around the eyes, smoother skin, reduction in breakouts and blemishes and healthier, stronger nails.
Vollagen is 100% suitable for vegetarians and vegans, making this the most advanced plant-based collagen on the market.
Before we go any further on the amazing 'Vollagen', let’s have a little recap on what collagen is and why we take it. For even more info, you can also read our dedicated article on Collagen.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. It’s used to synthesise connective tissue found in the bone, skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments and blood vessel walls. Sounds pretty important, doesn’t it? Well, it is. Collagen is what makes these tissues strong and resilient.
Unfortunately, collagen production and quality diminish with age, potentially happening as early as 25 years old, so by age 50, collagen levels may be reduced by 50%. Other factors that can affect collagen production and quality include smoking, excess sun, alcohol, poor diet, inactivity and excess exercise.
So alongside doing the above in moderation, what else can we do to promote and strengthen collagen production? There are many vitamins and minerals that play a crucial role in the protection of collagen, such as vitamin C, vitamin K2, silica, copper, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and many more.
So where can we find all of the above and more? Well, aside from nature's best (food), which we always recommend, Vollagen is the golden ticket.
There are five fantastic Vollagen supplements, which all contain the bio-identical complex of amino acids provided in the same proportion as those found in human collagen.
This is alongside a unique magnifood blend of specific plant compounds designed to work synergistically with each key ingredient.
