Collagen is one of those health trends that just keeps on trending. Men and women of every age swear by supplementing with this animal protein to promote skin, hair, nail, gut, joint, and bone health. But where does that leave vegans? Can they, too, get in on the collagen party? Well…yes and no.

Collagen itself comes from the gristle, cartilage, tendons, and bones of animals, which means that it’s definitely not vegan-friendly. There’s no such thing as plant-based collagen. However, there are plenty of ways plant-based eaters can support their body’s own collagen production, including taking supplements designed to provide the materials needed to keep that process humming along.

Here are four vegan-friendly supplements specially formulated to keep collagen production moving and grooving.

The Vitamin Shoppe brand Vegan Collagen Support

A number of nutrients support the collagen production process in the body—and some of the big guns include vitamin C and zinc, both of which you’ll find in The Vitamin Shoppe brand Vegan Collagen Support. This specialty supplement also includes a whopping 2,000 micrograms of biotin, which is a star for healthy skin and nails, and hyaluronic acid, which has hydrating properties and binds collagen to elastin, giving tissues like skin the ability to stretch.

Additionally, this formula contains DERMAVAL, a blend of nine clinically-studied fruit and vegetable concentrates—including pomegranate, quercetin, and coffee fruit extracts—to promote collagen production in the body.

The goodness is all packaged up in vegetarian capsules that are easy to take alongside meals.

Garden of Life mykind Organics Organic Plant Collagen Builder

If you’re after hair, skin, and nail support—and want a vegan and certified organic supplement—look no further than Organic Plant Collagen Builder from Garden of Life’s mykind Organics line. The goal of this formula is to use real, nutritious foods to help maintain and restore healthy levels of elastin, collagen, and keratin, which are all proteins crucial for a youthful glow.

Made with a blend of over 30 organic fruits, vegetables, and botanicals (think everything from amla berry and moringa to green tea leaf extract and turmeric) the supplement provides an array of nutrients from real sources (no synthetic nutrients here!). Some of the all-stars include vitamin A, vitamin C, biotin, and a bunch of other B vitamins. This formula also includes, silica, a little-talked-about nutrient that research suggests plays an important role in bone and joint health, mineral balance, and collagen production.

BioSil Advanced Collagen Generator

BioSil is a big name in the healthy beauty world and its Advanced Collagen Generator takes a rather unique approach to keeping you feeling (and looking!) like your healthiest, most youthful, most vibrant self. This supplement contains ch-OSA®, a bioavailable form of silicon that also contains the nutrient choline (it supports fat metabolism, cell communication, DNA synthesis, and more), which BioSil suggests helps to generate collagen and promote healthy keratin (the protein that gives hair thickness and strength) and elastin (the protein that gives your skin the ability to stretch). 

One small study does, indeed, suggest that ch-OSA® may promote strong hair and nails and healthy skin in women. If you’re a plant-based eater looking to try something new in your healthy beauty routine, BioSil is a one-of-a-kind option with a serious fan following.

Neocell Beauty Builder Collagen Alternative

If you prefer to sip on your collagen-boosting supplement instead of popping capsules, check out the hibiscus-flavored Neocell Beauty Builder Collagen Alternative powder. This naturally flavored and sweetened drink mix (it contains just one gram of sugar per serving) contains an array of nutrients and superfoods that support collagen production for super strong hair and nails and a glowy complexion.

The ingredient lineup includes a mix of all nine essential amino acids (which are needed to create collagen in the body), vitamin C, silica from bamboo, and a fiber-rich prebiotic fruit blend featuring nutrient-dense baobab, beets, and amla. You’ll enjoy every sweet, floral sip of this vegan-friendly powder—so much so that you might just find yourself hydrating more (and staying hydrated is a must for bouncy, bright skin, you know…).
