Botani-col®

This innovative formula is the first of its kind on the market. Until now, consumers have only been able to take collagen from either an animal or vegetarian origin. BOTANI-COL® is designed to offer the benefits of conventional collagen to those on a plant-based diet. This ground-breaking discovery is not only limited to supplements; the collagen boosting powder can also be added to a number of products including creams and drinks.

As collagen only comes from animal sources we can’t refer to Botani-col as a collagen, we refer to it as a vegan collagen booster. Although other products use this term, their products are not formulated in the same way. Rejuvenated have used a combination of plants to create the same amino acid ratio as that in conventional collagens.

What are the benefits of plant based collagen?

• Having a vegan based collagen allows those who follow a plant based diet the opportunity to support their collagen levels without resorting to animal based collagen.
• Plant based options may be more environmentally friendly and also cheaper to produce.
• The number of people following a plant based diet is growing and the market for this are is increasing year on year.

Some foods are rich in amino acids and will help to support

• Pea protein and quinoa are both rich in protein, each contains all 9 essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own. These amino acids provide some of those that are essential for collagen production.
• Glycine is a key amino acid in the generation of collagen, try to include beans, nuts and seeds in your diet as these are all rich in glycine. Another amino acid, proline is found in asparagus, mushrooms and cabbage.
• Soy products such as tempeh, tofu and soy protein are rich sources of amino acids as are beans and pulses.
