Vegan Pro-Collagen Protein Powder, Enhanced with Glycine, Proline & Hydroxyproline & Vitamin C
AED 209.00
Fountain of Youth – Starting in your 20s, though, your body starts losing collagen. By the age of 35 you are likely to loose about 1% of your bodily collagen per year; by age 50, over half of the body’s collagen has been depleted. In women, menopause speeds up that loss which contributes to wrinkles and fine lines around eyes.
Regular collagen supplementation can increase levels of collagen peptides in the skin and plump up the skin, smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines for a more youthful appearance.
Hair & nails-important structural component
Strengthening hair follicles, Boosting keratin production, Improving scalp health
Strengthening nail plate, Improving nail growth, Hydrating nail bed
Gives strength and flexibility to the bones, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and joints and forms connective tissue – the ‘glue’ that holds the body together.
As we age, skin naturally becomes drier due to a number of biological reasons and not only do our levels of collagen fall, but the distribution of collagen fibres also alters. Studies suggest that regular collagen supplementation can increase levels of collagen peptides in the skin, where they can be retained for up to 14 days after supplementation. Each serving offers 11g of protein, from a total of 21 broad-spectrum amino acids – with more essential amino acids than standard collagen supplements, and with added vitamin C as the co-factor to promote collagen synthesis and protect against collagen degradation.
Available in two flavour options: Original unflavored and light vanilla
Directions: Best taken on an empty stomach for better absorption.
Unflavored-Pleasant malty taste of roasted seeds: Mix 1-2 level scoops (provided) into liquid and stir; can also be added directly to food. Perfect for blending into cold plant milk, shakes and smoothies rather than adding to coffee.
Light vanilla flavour: Mix 1-2 level scoops (provided) into a smoothie, yoghurt or porridge and mix well. Perfect for blending into cold plant milk, shakes and smoothies rather than adding to coffee.

Product Description (Unflavoured & Light vanilla flavour)
Most vegan collagen boosters supply only the collagen co-factors, relying on the diet to supply sufficient protein and the right kinds of amino acids to synthesise collagen. Sourcing the 3 main collagen amino acids from plant-based diets is challenging, however, especially for hydroxyproline, which is almost absent from plant-based foods. As such, un-supplemented vegan diets must rely on adequate intake of proline and vitamin C for hydroxyproline synthesis, nutrients which are often prioritised to support other essential functions over collagen production. Vegan protein intake also tends to be lower, and the proteins from plant foods can be harder to digest. Since it is a complete protein and supplies 11g per serving, Vegan Pro Collagen is also suitable as a general protein powder supplement and is ideal for anyone seeking plant-based alternatives to standard collagen protein powders. This formula includes those amino acids that are often limited in vegan diets, such as lysine, methionine, isoleucine, threonine and tryptophan, with added vitamin C. Taken daily, this supplement provides the nutritional building blocks to support the body’s own collagen production. Providing ~77g of protein per 100g, this powder is also a convenient way to boost dietary protein intake.
This powder contains no added sugar or sweeteners, or artificial flavourings, making it extremely versatile. The plant-based blend has a natural, malty flavour (with an added hint of vanilla-for vanilla flavour only), perfect for mixing into plant-based milks for a delicious shake. Add berries for a healthy smoothie, or stir into your breakfast bowl or yoghurt. This blend is NOT suitable for adding to hot beverages such as coffee.
Content: Each re-sealable plastic pouch contains 500g, providing a 35-day supply at a daily dosage of 14g (1 scoop).
Directions: Best taken on an empty stomach for better absorption.
Unflavored-Pleasant malty taste of roasted seeds: Mix 1-2 level scoops (provided) into liquid and stir; can also be added directly to food. Perfect for blending into cold plant milk, shakes and smoothies rather than adding to coffee. For additional support, adults can use up to 4 scoops daily. Do not exceed the maximum stated dose.
Light vanilla flavour: Mix 1-2 level scoops (provided) into a smoothie, yoghurt or porridge and mix well. Perfect for blending into cold plant milk, shakes and smoothies rather than adding to coffee. For additional support, adults can use up to 4 scoops daily. Do not exceed the maximum stated dose.
Warnings: This blend is NOT suitable for adding to hot beverages such as coffee. This product should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. Seek professional medical advice before taking any food supplement if you are taking medication, pregnant or are breastfeeding. Keep out of the reach of children and store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
Ingredients: Proprietary Igennus ® Blend PlantProColl ® plant-based peptide blend: brown rice protein, pea protein, pumpkin seed protein, sunflower seed protein, glycine, hydroxyproline, proline; (natural vanilla flavouring); thickener: xanthan gum; vitamin C (ascorbic acid).
Allergen information: This product is not made with any ingredients containing gluten, wheat, dairy, soya, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts or peanuts. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Compatible with halal and kosher diets.
Two flavour options. Blend, shake or add to recipes
While many plant-based protein powders often have strong flavors, sweeteners and a chalky consistency, the unflavoured blend has a natural malty taste whilst our light vanilla blend has a hint of vanilla. Both are slightly sweet due to the glycine amino acid content (pure glycine is sweet tasting).
Whilst animal-derived collagen is often added to coffee, Vegan Pro-Collagen is best shaken into plant milk, blended into smoothies or added to food.
It’s also ideal for mixing into your favourite breakfasts and snacks – our nutrition team have successfully added it to porridge, pancakes, protein balls and even soup! Providing 11g protein per serving, it’s ideal for boosting the protein intake of meals, for adults and children, aiding the feeling of satiety and keeping you fuller for longer. It’s low-carb and contains no added sweeteners.
Collagen building blocks – enhanced with glycine, hydroxyproline and proline
50% of collagen is made up of three amino acids – glycine, hydroxyproline and proline – which are hard to obtain from plant-based foods. Glycine is the main amino acid present in collagen, though vegetarians and vegans typically obtain less in their diets than meat-eaters and the body also has limited capacity to produce it. Hydroxyproline is almost absent from plant-based foods, with only small amounts found in alfalfa sprouts.
Mirroring the amino acid profile of bovine collagen, PlantProColl® peptide blend supplies broad-spectrum amino acids, with boosted doses of the 3 main collagen amino acids hydroxyproline, proline and glycine in the optimal 2:1:1 ratio. Compare the amino acid profile of this supplement with any collagen and you may be surprised how similar this vegan protein powder is!
Complete protein powder
Many plant proteins can be difficult to digest and are not complete proteins, making it essential for vegans and vegetarians to consume a wide range of foods to increase intake of essential amino acids. Vegan Collagen provides all 21 amino acids, including lysine, an amino acid typically in shortest supply in a vegan diet, with vegans consuming ~43% less. As a ‘complete’ protein, with 11g protein per serving, this supplement is ideal to top up dietary protein intake.
As well as working together to build important proteins in the body, each amino acid also has multiple roles. Glutamine is important for gut health; cysteine supports glutathione production – a powerful antioxidant produced by the body; tryptophan supports sleep and mood; asparagine supports nervous system health.
BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) include leucine, isoleucine and valine, which are essential and linked to muscle protein synthesis – we provide 1g per dose.
Skin, hair & nail health
Collagen makes up 75% of the ‘dry weight’ of skin, and also functions as an important structural component of hair and nails. As we age, not only do levels of collagen fall, but the distribution of collagen fibres also alters; instead of a smooth even distribution of collagen fibrils, they become increasingly distributed in large, bundle-like aggregates, sparsely arranged through the dermis. Studies suggest that regular collagen supplementation can increase levels of collagen peptides in the skin, where they can be retained for up to 14 days after supplementation.
Supports bones, muscles, ligaments & cartilage
Collagen is the most important and abundant structural protein in the body. Its long, fibrous structure gives bones, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and joints strength and flexibility and forms connective tissue – the ‘glue’ that holds the body together. As a source of dietary protein, this supplement contributes to growth and maintenance of muscle mass, and the maintenance of normal bones.
Replenishes collagen lost with ageing and due to lifestyle factors
Starting in your 20s, though, your body starts losing collagen. By the age of 35 you are likely to loose about 1% of your bodily collagen per year; by age 50, over half of the body’s collagen has been depleted. In women, menopause speeds up that loss, which contributes to wrinkles, stiff joints, worn-down cartilage and decreased muscle mass. Collagen is also negatively affected by nutritional deficiencies, genetics, pollution, excessive sun exposure and smoking. Supplementation can help replenish declining levels, ensuring enough collagen is present to support its various important functions in the body. The added vitamin C protects against collagen degradation.
