A common misconception we hear often is that vegan collagen is available—this is untrue. Plants do not contain or produce collagen; therefore, it is never vegan (unfortunately!). Supplemental collagen is commonly sourced from cow hide, fish skin, and chicken sternum.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. It’s involved in bone building, joint health, elasticity and strength of the hair, skin, and nails, and even the integrity of our blood vessels.

Amino Acids: Collagen is a protein, and protein is made up of amino acids. L-glycine, L-lysine, and L-proline are the three most important amino acids in the collagen production process. At 2,700 mg combined, each scoop contains a sufficient dose to support healthy skin and healthy joints.

Vitamin C: In order to be utilized, glycine and proline must be hydrolyzed by vitamin C. It’s also a powerful antioxidant that helps to protect our cells from the damaging effects of free radicals. 1000mg of pH-balanced vitamin C is more than enough to activate the amino acids, fend off free radicals, and support immune function.

Aquamin Soluble Marine Trace Minerals: Derived from mineral-rich seaweed sourced off the pristine coast of Iceland, Aquamin contains calcium, magnesium, and 72 other trace minerals. Collagen production, connective tissue formation, bones, and teeth all rely on a healthy dose of trace minerals. Minerals are also responsible for improving the pH of the body.

Hyaluronic Acid: Supplemental hyaluronic acid is used to retain moisture in joints and skin. It’s naturally found in the synovial fluid between our joints and is often found in skincare products to help combat dry skin. Hyaluronic acid has been found to have effective anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. Commonly sourced from rooster comb, we’ve naturally chosen a 100% vegan version.

Biotin: Commonly found in beauty supplements, biotin or B7 is known for its importance in strong, healthy hair, skin, and nails. Though biotin will not typically solve all of your hair, skin, and nail woes, a biotin deficiency will result in an increase in hair loss and weakening of the nails.

Collagen as we age

Q: What is the collagen source in Glow & Flow?
A: There is no collagen in Glow & Flow because it there is no plant source of collagen. Collagen is only present in animals (including humans), and is usually sourced from bovine hides or other waste parts, fish skin, and poultry sternum.
Q: How does Glow & Flow boost collagen?
A: Glow & Flow provides your body with the correct building blocks to make more of its own collagen. It contains the 3 vegan sourced amino acids (Proline, Glycine, Lysine) needed to make collagen, in the ratios needed. It also provides a full gram of buffered vitamin C, which is needed to synthesize collagen.
Q: How much protein is in Glow & Flow?
A: Glow & Flow contains zero protein per scoop. It is not a complete protein as it only contains the 3 aminos needed to make collagen. This is deliberate, as if you provide a full amino profile protein, the body will use that to repair and make lean muscle. That it itself is a positive thing, but there may not be enough proline or glycine leftover to make more collagen. This formula cannot be used by the body to repair or make muscle tissue, it can only be used to make collagen to improve the condition of skin, joints, hair, nails.
Q: What are the other ingredients in Glow & Flow and why?
A: We’ve included biotin, for hair skin, nails support as well as both vegan sourced hyaluronic acid and marine trace minerals to help with retaining moisture in all membrane including skin and joints. After the age of 30, as collagen production slows and collagen breakdown exceeds it, we also begin losing moisture, which intensifies as we age, particularly during perimenopause and menopause. These two ingredients help to retain moisture. Hyaluronic acid is often applied topically to the skin, but also works so well when taken orally – using both just improves your results.
Q: What is the source of the vegan hyaluronic acid?
A: Vegan HA is fermented in a lab to be “nature identical”. It starts with a naturally occurring bacterial strain that naturally contains hyaluronic acid, which is then fermented to obtain the desired molecular weight needed, and then isolated so there is zero bacteria remaining in the finished ingredient – just hyaluronic acid. In this case the starting material is streptococcal bacteria, but zero strep remains in the finished ingredient or in the formula and it is completely safe.
Q: How long does it take to work?
A: It will absolutely vary by individual, but general feedback is that people notice more comfort in their joints within a couple weeks, stronger nails comes next, and the skin benefits will take longer, at least 4 weeks or so to see more “glow” and softer lines. We’ve had feedback after several months on increased new hair growth and faster hair growth too.
