Description
Sunwarrior Collagen Building Protein Peptides in Tahitian Vanilla is a plant-based protein powder for people looking for a vegan collagen alternative. It contains no animal collagen. Instead, it combines pea protein and brown rice peptides with a beauty blend that includes hyaluronic acid, biotin and vitamin C. Each 25 g scoop provides 14 g of protein and 90 calories, and the 500 g tub gives 20 servings.
Is there such a thing as vegan collagen?
Collagen itself comes from animals, so a plant-based product cannot supply collagen directly. Sunwarrior explains that most collagen supplements come from the bones, skin and connective tissue of animals, and offers a plant-based approach that is tailored to boost your body's inherent collagen production. The pack states no hooves, no horns and no hides. The ingredient list contains no animal-derived ingredients.
What is in Sunwarrior Collagen Building Protein Peptides?
The proprietary beauty blend includes organic pea protein, organic brown rice peptides, vitamin C from organic acerola juice powder, organic sea buckthorn berry, organic tremella mushroom extract, organic kale leaf, organic spinach leaf, organic whole spirulina, hyaluronic acid, and biotin from organic holy basil leaf extract and organic sunflower seed extract. It also includes organic flavour, sea salt, organic stevia leaf extract and medium-chain triglycerides oil from coconut oil and acacia fibre.
