Is There Such a Thing as Vegan Collagen?
For individuals who follow a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, collagen consumption is a major challenge. If you do some research, you may come across articles stating that vegan collagen doesn’t exist. But how are vegan collagen skin creams and serums—which have become one of the most popular cosmetic products in recent times—produced?
What Is Collagen?
Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the body and supports the health of many tissues, such as the skin, hair, nails, joints, and bones. As we age, the body’s collagen production decreases, which can lead to wrinkles, joint pain, and a loss of skin elasticity. This is why collagen supplements and skincare products have become quite popular in recent years.
