FAQ

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and helps structure our hair, skin, nails. It keeps the skin firm, smooth and elastic.

As the years go by and the body ages, collagen production gradually decreases. Collagen production decreases by 2% per year after the age of 25, but our need increases over time. It is estimated that by the age of 40 the body produces half as much collagen as it did in adolescence. This reduction in production levels causes, among other things, the loss of elasticity and flexibility of the skin, joints and muscles, etc.

Vital Proteins is a company dedicated to offering collagen-based supplements, a natural source of proteins for the wellbeing of our customers.

1) Our products contain collagen peptides which have been broken down into smaller absorbable components.
2) Collagen contains proteins which are building blocks for muscles, bones, liqaments, tendons etc.  

Collagen is a very important component in the skin, which makes up 70% of it. The dermis (which is one of the deepest layers of the skin) is responsible for providing elasticity and flexibility to the skin.

Supplementing your diet with collagen provides your body with the amino acids it needs to increase the condition of hair, skin and nails.

Yes, our Vital Proteins collagen is hydrolysed. The hydrolysis process consists of breaking down collagen protein into smaller units (specifically collagen peptides), which makes collagen easier to digest, synthesise and absorb. That's why our collagen is soluble in both hot and cold liquids. Tasteless and odourless.

There are different origins: bovine and marine (VP), other sources could be pork, chicken, etc. What defines a collagen to be of quality is the quality of its hydrolysis, which directly impacts the degree of absorption or synthesis. At Vital Proteins, we work only with high-quality collagen from bovine and marine origins.

We can extract the benefits of collagen regardless of its origin.

The only difference between our marine and bovine collagen is the source. Marine collagen is obtained from fish, while our collagen peptides come from bovine hides.
