Vivo Life Collagen Builder Vanilla Cinnamon - 900g

Support natural collagen formation, skin, hair, nails, bones and joints maintenance, in one delicious shake

Collagen is the main structural protein found in our connective tissues, bones and skin; it is a tough, insoluble, fibrous protein. Our body produces its own collagen, however collagen supplementation can help to encourage this natural collagen production process which can be hugely beneficial in aiding our recovery from exercise, supporting the natural aging process, and strengthening our hair, skin and nails.

Conventional collagen supplements are derived from animal sources so are not suitable for a plant-based diet. True collagen is not found in the plant kingdom, however when we consume collagen from animal sources our bodies break this down into a series of amino acids, to then rebuild collagen proteins. We have carefully crafted a plant-based alternative that encourages the body's natural collagen production pathways. Our Collagen Builder is a blend of the specific amino acids needed for collagen production, alongside added synergistic nutrients that encourage this natural process within our bodies. Our formula is comparable and, in fact, superior to some of the off the shelf animal-based collagens we tested, with regards to the amino acid profile.

Our Collagen Builder is the perfect option for those who want to experience the benefits of collagen supplementation without compromising the environment or animal welfare.

Can your Collagen Builder help with exercise/injury recovery?

Yes! Collagen plays an integral role in exercise and injury recovery, as it is one of the most abundant proteins in the body. A systematic review (a study collating and examining the results of many studies on a given subject) by Khatri et al., observed that overall, collagen supplementation had a beneficial effect on joint pain, improving joint functioning, increasing the length of pain free exercise sessions, and reducing the need for recovery interventions and exercise rehabilitation. Collagen supplementation also reduced the severity of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) after exercise. Our Collagen Builder has a beneficial place in your exercise/injury recovery toolbox.

Can I use your Collagen Builder when pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medication?

As with all our products, we recommend speaking with your healthcare advisor when adding in any new supplements whilst pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication.

Will your Collagen Builder help my skin's appearance?

As we age, the rate at which our bodies build collagen gradually decreases over time - this is perfectly normal and natural. The most obvious way we notice this is in the appearance of our skin. Skin collagen provides the scaffold to give strength, elasticity and fullness to our skin. Supplementing with our plant based Collagen Builder can certainly help to support and encourage your body's natural collagen bio-synthesis, by providing the body with the exact amino acids and synergistic nutrients it needs to support this process.
