I Want To Take Collagen But I’m Vegan

Is there a vegan option for collagen supplementation?

Is Collagen Vegan? 
 
Collagen is the most plentiful form of protein found in our bodies that acts as the “glue” that holds everything together. However, when it comes to collagen supplementation, it’s typically sourced from bovine (cows) or marine (fish), meaning collagen is not vegan.  

Can Collagen be Vegan? 

Since collagen is sourced from animals, such as cows and fish, it cannot be vegan. However, the good news is, for anyone following a vegan lifestyle, there are ways to naturally boost your collagen production without missing out on collagen’s benefits.

Research has shown that several foods that contain the amino acids crucial to making collagen, which are: glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline... these can all help boost collagen production. These are found in plant-based foods such as legumes and soy. As well, both Vitamin C and Zinc are known to help boost collagen production, so eating foods high in these vitamins and minerals, such as nuts and seeds, fruits, leafy greens, and whole grains are beneficial as well. Other ways to help maximize your collagen production are to limit stress, wear SPF in the sun, and get adequate sleep. Seems simple enough, right?
