Want to know all about Plant-based collagen builder? Hear it from the expert- Dr. Shipra Modi, Health Expert at Chicnutrix.

What is Collagen?

Collagen is a protein that our body makes naturally. It is present in hair, skin, nails, bones, cartilage, ligaments & intestines and blood vessels. The purpose of this is to make our skin more elastic and bones stronger. Unfortunately, as we grow older, our body slows down collagen production due to which our skin sags & gets wrinkles.

What about Collagen supplements?

Since the body does not produce enough collagen as we grow old, some people switch to collagen supplements like tablets, creams, powders & injections. These collagen supplements are usually animal-based and hence people choose to cut down the intake of such supplements.

In that case, what do we choose?

The answer is Vegan collagen. Vegan collagen is plant-based collagen. Scientists have been able to genetically modify yeasts and bacteria to create animal-free vegan collagen.

How can vegan collagen supplements help?

Plants contain some of the most powerful anti-ageing compounds that are effective in preventing and reducing the signs of ageing. The vegan collagen contains vitamins, minerals and beauty phytonutrients to help the body build more of its collagen as well as activate relevant enzymes & metabolic pathways to enable the production and stabilization of collagen in the skin to keep it firm and taut.

In order to boost & support your body's natural collagen production, Vitamin C, zinc and copper are needed. All these 3 nutrients are found in plants.

Plants also contain Quercetin, Rutina, Ellagic Acid, Carotenoids & Lycopene, which again have more anti-ageing power than just our body’s collagen.

Hence, it is the need of the hour to switch to or start using plant-based vegan collagen in order to keep our skin tight, plump, firm, young and wrinkle-free.
