What is collagen?

Collagen is a protein found in the skin and connective tissue. Types I and III collagen are found in the skin, while type II is found in connective tissue. Our body produces collagen on its own, but this "internal production" begins to decrease from the age of 20, initially less noticeably, but over the years increasingly faster – from the age of 40, by up to 1% per year. The decrease in collagen levels in the body is mainly manifested externally on the skin: it becomes less flexible, less elastic, loses hydration, and wrinkles appear. Collagen can be introduced into the body by eating animal skin, ligaments, or bones, but in minimal amounts. It is easier and advisable to consume it in the form of quality dietary supplements, which mostly contain collagen of animal origin.

Is collagen suitable for vegans?

Products with collagen, both our Valens Kolagen Premium and other products on the market, unfortunately are not suitable for vegans. Collagen is a component found only in animals and humans. Most of the time, collagen is obtained from cow or fish skin. Plant-based collagen does not exist, but there is an alternative: this vegan collagen, which contains amino acids (basic components of collagen) of plant origin.

Is it safe to consume Valens Premium Collagen?

All the active ingredients in the product are in doses that are safe for consumption. Coenzyme Q10 and collagen are natural components of the body, which means the body excretes them if we consume them in excess. Studies on coenzyme Q10 and collagen were also conducted with much higher doses (Q10 at 150 mg daily, collagen at 10 g daily). Regular consumption is especially important, and the first results will appear after one month (for younger people) to three months of use.

How long should Valens Vegan Collagen Booster be taken?

Collagen is a natural component of the body, whose "production" decreases with age, resulting in the first signs of aging. Since the body does not produce enough collagen over the years, it can only be replaced through an additional or external supply, for example, with nutritional supplements. To maintain the improved condition, a constant intake or regular use is necessary. However, you can - according to your own wishes and abilities - take a break from time to time (for example, once every 3 months).

What is the difference between Valens Collagen Premium and Valens Vegan Collagen Booster?

Valens Collagen Premium contains Peptan® fish collagen of exceptional quality. The amino acid composition of Peptan® is extremely rich, as it contains up to 18 different amino acids in exact proportions, providing the basic components for collagen formation in the body. Valens Vegan Collagen Booster does not contain collagen, but its basic components: the 6 most important amino acids in the correct proportions.
Valens Vegan Collagen Booster was developed with those people in mind who, for one reason or another, do not wish to consume fish collagen.

At what time of day should Valens Vegan Collagen Booster be taken - is it necessary to take it on an empty stomach?

You can take the product whenever you want without being tied to meals. The ingredients it contains are well absorbed. Therefore, the timing of intake depends on each person and their schedule.

Does Valens Vegan Collagen Booster contain collagen?

Vegan collagen does not exist, as collagen is an animal-derived component. Most of the time, collagen is obtained from cowhide or fish. Therefore, no vegan product contains collagen, but rather ingredients that stimulate collagen synthesis in the body. Among them are the basic components of collagen, called amino acids, as well as vitamins and minerals, which are involved in collagen synthesis and care for skin health.

What are the advantages of Valens Vegan Collagen Booster over other similar products on the market?

One of the advantages lies, of course, in its unique formula. It contains 6 carefully selected amino acids in appropriate proportions or up to 3500 mg of amino acids in the recommended daily dose. An additional advantage is the content of Q10Vital®, a water-soluble coenzyme Q10 developed in Slovenia, which has been clinically shown to have 4 times greater absorption compared to regular Q10, and Ceramosides™, a wheat ceramide extract. The product is also enriched with other important minerals and vitamins.
A very important advantage of our product is also its liquid form. Most vegan collagen boosters come in capsule form, which can be a problem for those who have difficulty swallowing. At Valens, we have developed a liquid product with a natural carrot and lemon flavor. Additionally, it contains no added sugar and is sweetened exclusively with xylitol, which is also naturally present in fruit.

Is the product also suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women?

In principle, the Valens Vegan Collagen Booster product does not contain ingredients that pregnant women should avoid – amino acids, ceramides, and coenzyme Q10 are substances naturally found in the body, which it simply excretes when not needed (or in excess). According to most of the other active ingredients, they are even more necessary during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There is also evidence of the positive effects of collagen during breastfeeding. Due to the selenium and vitamin A content (which can be harmful in both excessively high and too low doses), we recommend consulting a doctor or pharmacist about using the product.
