VEGAN COLLAGEN BOOSTER
VITAL VITAMINS.
Overview
The effectiveness of this product is questionable due to the use of proprietary blends for the majority of its ingredients. While individual ingredients like L-Lysine, Hyaluronic Acid, and Silica have some evidence for their roles in collagen and connective tissue health, the 'Vita & Vegetables Blend' and 'Herbs Blend' do not disclose the amounts of each component. This makes it impossible to determine if any of these beneficial plant extracts are present at clinically effective doses. The overall approach of supporting natural collagen production is sound, but the execution related to ingredient transparency and dosing is lacking.
The Good
Vegan-friendly formulation caters to specific dietary needs.
Contains L-Lysine and Hyaluronic Acid, known components for connective tissue health.
Includes Silica (from Bamboo Shoot Extract), beneficial for collagen formation.
The Bad
Extensive use of proprietary blends ('Vita & Vegetables Blend' and 'Herbs Blend') makes it impossible to verify effective dosing for most ingredients.
L-Lysine (50mg) and Hyaluronic Acid (20mg) doses are significantly lower than clinically effective doses for targeted benefits (e.g., L-Lysine for HSV, Hyaluronic Acid for joint/skin hydration).
Presence of Fo-Ti Root Extract poses a significant risk of herb-induced liver injury, especially with unknown processing and concentration.
Is it for you?
