Vegan collagen - Does it exist?
Collagen is formed exclusively in the human and animal organism. Plant collagen in the true sense of the word therefore does not exist. However, the body can produce collagen itself, provided it has the appropriate amino acids and supporting micronutrients.
HIGH COLLAGEN Amino Boost combines specifically selected amino acids with inducers that promote the body’s own production of native collagen. The formulation was developed on the basis of scientific findings and designed to optimally support the body’s natural collagen formation.
Principle of action VeCollal®
* The principles that form the basis of VeCollal®,
are supported by over 50 studies
High Collagen Amino Boost has a biomimetic collagen amino acid complex with 19 fermented, food-grade amino acids.
They support collagen biosynthesis and provide the building blocks the body needs – ready for direct absorption without prior digestion.
This means that the amino acids can be absorbed and used directly by the body without first having to be broken down into smaller components by the normal digestive process.
Normally, collagen or protein must be broken down enzymatically in the stomach and intestines into individual amino acids or small peptides before the body can absorb them.
In biomimetic collagen amino acids, the amino acids are already in a form that can be used immediately for collagen production.
The scientific principles on which VeCollal is based are supported by numerous collagen research studies.
HIGH COLLAGEN Amino Boost specifically supplies the body with the necessary amino acids and selected cofactors that are required for natural collagen formation. Thanks to the biomimetically developed amino acid profile, which is based on human collagen types, the body receives exactly the building blocks it needs for collagen synthesis.
Der Organismus kann diese Bausteine entsprechend seinem individuellen Bedarf nutzen und dort Kollagen bilden, wo es physiologisch benötigt wird.
Selected inducers support the natural processes of collagen formation by signaling the availability of the amino acids provided to the body

The importance of collagen for the body
Collagen is a structure-forming protein and a central component of skin, connective tissue, bones, cartilage, tendons and fascia. It contributes significantly to the stability, elasticity and function of these tissues.
Potential areas of application for collagen:
Beauty & skin structure
Collagen is an essential component of the skin structure and contributes to the firmness and elasticity of the tissue.
Studies Beauty
Mobility & activity
As a structural component of cartilage, tendons and connective tissue, collagen plays an important role in mobility and resilience.
Bone & supporting tissue
Collagen is part of the organic bone matrix and supports the structural integrity of the skeletal system.
Regeneration & athletic stress
Collagen-containing structures are involved in tissue adaptation and renewal processes.
General structural functions in the body
Collagen is a component of various tissues, including skin, connective tissue and mucous membranes, where it performs important mechanical functions.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
About Collagen:
What is collagen, and what does it do for the body?
Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body. It is formed of building blocks called amino acids in a specific sequence and form. You can think of collagen of the glue that holds everything together and gives strength to tissues such as skin, bones, cartilage,…
Our skin notably consists of up to 70% of collagen of a certain type – Type-1. It is this collagen that gives skin its firmness and plumpness.
Is supplementing with collagen proven to work?
Yes. There has been considerable research in the effects of collagen supplementation (for instance https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26362110/). The commercial success of collagen supplements is also testimony to the effectiveness, as the trend would quickly die if no positive results were observed. VeCollal® was based on over 70 independent studies and its efficacy has been proven in 4 clinical trials to date.
Is it safe to take a collagen supplement every day?
Yes – providing the supplement is of high quality. Unfortunately, a recent study from the Clean Label organisation highlighted the potential presence of heavy metals in animal sourced collagen supplements. https://cleanlabelproject.org/collagen-study-infographic/.
The consumer should realize hides and bones contain heavy metals and high-quality production is necessary to ensure safe levels. Look for products from reputable brands, containing branded ingredients like HIGH COLLAGEN®. HIGH COLLAGEN® is made from high-quality raw materials that are free of heavy metals. Each batch used is carefully controlled and analyzed.
What happens if I suddenly stop taking collagen?
Nothing dramatic, but your body returns to its old level of regeneration and gradually shows signs
of ageing again.
How does a collagen supplement work to create collagen in the body?
Animal collagen is very hard to digest for a human, that is why animal collagen supplements are usually collagen peptides. Which simply put, this means the big collagen molecule has been cut into smaller pieces for easier absorption. These peptides are combinations of building blocks called amino acids. The body will digest the peptides and break them down into amino acids needed to help build collagen.
ABOUT HIGH COLLAGEN Vegan Boost®:
What is VeCollal?
VeCollal® is a vegan biomimetic of human Collagen type-1. That sounds complicated, but what it means is that it has the exact same amino acid profile as human Collagen type-1 – this is what makes up most of the collagen in your skin and bones. Collagen has certain building blocks (amino acids) in a specific ratio.
VeCollal® has the exact ratio as the collagen in human skin. This is unique, as animal collagen is similar to human collagen however, it is not identical. It even lacks some of the building blocks that are essential to humans (such as an amino acid called L-Tryptophan). VeCollal® brings the human body the perfect supply of building blocks to create new collagen. However, just having the building blocks is not enough to build effectively. For example, if we want to build a house, having the bricks alone doesn’t build the house, for that, you need instructions. That is why the patent pending VeCollal® ingredient also contains powerful herbal extracts that stimulate the body to use the bricks to start building. VeCollal® in essence uses the body’s own biochemistry to replenish collagen. Find out more here.
Why was HIGH COLLAGEN Vegan Boost® created?
Collagen supplements are hugely popular, but the modern consumer is -thankfully- more and more concerned with sustainability and animal wellbeing. This is clearly demonstrated in the number of plant-based products growing on the market and sustainability efforts worldwide. VeCollal® was created to answer the demand of the modern consumer who values sustainability, is vegan or vegetarian but still is unwilling to compromise on results.
Is VeCollal a collagen?
No, it is a Vegan Collagen alternative. Meaning, it offers the body all the benefits of animal collagen in a sustainable animal friendly way.
What makes HIGH COLLAGE Vegan Boost unique compared to other vegan alternative collagens?
In one word: the science. In one word: the science. Unfortunately, there are many products on the market labelling themselves as a vegan collagen that have zero science behind them and are not clinically proven. VeCollal® is different. Our formulation was created by collagen expert Dr. Jimenez, based on 70+ supporting studies, but we did not stop there. VeCollal® has been put through 4 clinical trials to date, always showing excellent results in real people. This is not simply a self-assessment by the sponsored test subjects. High-tech equipment is used to measure wrinkles, collagen density, hydration, etc. in a scientifically sound procedure. Our most recent clinical study was conducted by an independent medical institution.

Is vegan collagen as effective as regular collagen?
The results of our latest clinical study are consistent with the results of similar studies conducted with animal collagen supplements. HIGH COLLAGEN Vegan Boost® with VeCollal® appears to achieve similar results, but in a shorter period of time (4 weeks), which we believe is due to the very high absorption capacity of VeCollal®, whose molecular size is 10 to 50 times smaller than that of collagen peptides.
VeCollal® delivers convincing results in just 4 weeks:
- 14.1% reduction in wrinkles
- 13.9% increase in collagen density
- 7.4% increase in skin hydration
- 16.3% reduction of skin redness
- 15.8% reduction in skin roughness
Are there any side effects to watch out for when taking vegan collagen, specifically?
During the clinical trial, blood values and gastrointestinal discomfort were monitored – no side effects of any type were reported.
Why is VeCollal a good collagen alternative for the planet?
It’s calculated that the carbon footprint to make VeCollal® is 6.6 times less than when manufacturing animal based collagen. In addition, the manufacturing of VeCollal® is in a carbon neutral facility. But that’s not all, we also offset our CO2 footprint during transportation by planting trees together with our partner Trees for All. We donate to tree planting projects. These projects not only support the planting of new trees in Europe, but also in Madagascar. Help restore
endemic forests, endangered plant and animal species and support the local community.
