Collagen Builder - Vegetarian

Support collagen synthesis and connective tissue repair without animal collagen

★★★★★ Nutri Tailor 4.6/5 "Excellent" on Trustpilot
  • Collagen synthesis without animal collagen
  • Key nutrients for tissue repair
  • Vegetarian friendly skin and joint care

This is a collagen building protocol for those who prefer not to take animal derived collagen directly. Instead of supplying collagen, it provides the full spectrum of nutrients your body needs to manufacture its own. The Hair, Skin and Nails Formula capsules contain 20 active ingredients working across multiple pathways: vitamin C (25mg) and silicon (5mg as choline stabilised orthosilicic acid) for collagen synthesis, biotin (50mcg) and zinc (7.5mg) for keratin production, astaxanthin (1mg) and grapeseed extract (50mg) for antioxidant protection of existing collagen, and a full spectrum of tocotrienols (6.1mg) for skin cell membrane integrity. L carnitine (50mg) and CoQ10 (15mg) support cellular energy production in skin tissue.

The separate Proline capsules provide 340mg of L proline per capsule, one of the three dominant amino acids in collagen structure. Proline is often the limiting factor in endogenous collagen production, particularly in vegetarian diets where intake is naturally lower.

Hair, Skin and Nails Formula

Improves texture, strength and elasticity of hair, skin and nails

Ingredients

Strengthen hair, revitalise skin and support nail growth with targeted nutrients

A comprehensive formula addressing hair, skin and nail health from multiple biological angles simultaneously. Each capsule contains 20 active ingredients: vitamins A (as beta carotene, 300mcg), D3 (6.25mcg), E (1.7mg with 6.1mg mixed tocotrienols), K2 (25mcg), C (25mg), B2 (5mg), B3 (7.5mg), folate (200mcg), B12 (125mcg) and biotin (50mcg) alongside zinc (7.5mg), copper (0.5mg), L carnitine (50mg), grapeseed extract (50mg), green tea extract (50mg), CoQ10 (15mg), silicon (5mg as choline stabilised orthosilicic acid), plant squalene (1.2mg), astaxanthin (1mg) and phytosterols (0.6mg).

What makes this formula distinctive is the breadth of mechanisms it targets. Vitamin C and silicon directly support collagen and keratin synthesis. Zinc and biotin are essential for cell division in hair follicles and nail beds. The tocotrienol complex and astaxanthin supports existing collagen from oxidative degradation. Grapeseed and green tea extracts support microcirculation to the scalp and skin. The B vitamins are in their bioactive forms (riboflavin 5 phosphate, methylcobalamin, calcium L methylfolate) for direct use without conversion. The inclusion of copper alongside zinc prevents the depletion that can occur with zinc supplementation alone.

  • Thicker hair and less shedding
  • Radiant skin and better elasticity
  • Stronger nails that grow faster

Directions for use:

Take 2 capsules once per day with breakfast.

Taking with a meal containing fat is important as vitamins A, D3, E, K2, the tocotrienols and astaxanthin are all fat soluble and require dietary fat for absorption. Even modest fat in the meal (eggs, butter, nuts, avocado) is sufficient.

Hair, skin and nail improvements are gradual. Nail changes may become visible within 4 to 6 weeks, skin improvements in elasticity and hydration within 8 to 12 weeks, and meaningful changes in hair quality and growth typically take 3 to 6 months of consistent use. This reflects the natural turnover rate of these tissues, not a limitation of the formula. This product also forms part of the Collagen Builder Vegetarian bundle when paired with Proline.

Proline

Amino acid crucial for bone and muscle health. Vital for vegans who cannot take collagen

Ingredients

Build collagen naturally with this amino acid, ideal for plant based diets

L Proline is one of the two dominant amino acids in collagen (alongside hydroxyproline), making up approximately 10 to 15% of collagen's total amino acid content. Each capsule provides 340mg of L proline in a vegetarian capsule. Proline is classified as a conditionally essential amino acid, meaning the body can synthesise it under normal conditions but demand can exceed supply during wound soothing, injury recovery, high physical stress or ageing.

In the body, proline is hydroxylated (with vitamin C as a cofactor) to form hydroxyproline, which is critical for collagen stability. Without sufficient proline and vitamin C, collagen structure weakens, affecting skin elasticity, joint cartilage integrity, blood vessel walls, tendon strength and wound soothing. Supplementing proline directly provides the raw material for collagen synthesis without requiring the body to convert other amino acids. This is particularly relevant for those following plant based diets, where dietary proline intake is naturally lower than in diets containing animal proteins and bone broth.

Key benefits:

  • Collagen building amino acid
  • Skin and joint tissue repair
  • Ideal for plant based diets
Each capsule contains: %NRV*
L-Proline
340 mg

† Nutrient Reference Value (NRV*) not established

L-Proline, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (capsule).

Directions for use:

Take 2 capsules twice per day with meals.

The four capsule daily dose provides 1360mg of L proline. Taking with meals supports absorption and provides the proline alongside other dietary amino acids for balanced protein utilisation.

For collagen support, pair with vitamin C (required for the hydroxylation of proline into hydroxyproline) and consider combining with glycine (the other major collagen amino acid). For joint health, adding hyaluronic acid and N acetyl glucosamine provides a comprehensive cartilage support protocol. Allow 8 to 12 weeks of consistent use to assess improvements in skin, joint or connective tissue health.

View Proline
  • Maintenance of good hair, skin and nail health
  • Dry/brittle hair, skin and nails
  • Musculoskeletal health support
  • Pre-emptive anti-ageing support

Take 2 capsules of Hair, Skin and Nails Formula and 2 capsules of Proline per day with food.

Both are best taken with a meal containing some fat, as vitamins A, D3, E and K2 in the formula are fat soluble and require dietary fat for absorption. The formula includes vitamin D3 (6.25mcg) and K2 (25mcg), which work together to support bone mineral density alongside their role in skin health.

Results from collagen building protocols are gradual. Nail and hair changes may be noticeable within 4 to 6 weeks. Skin improvements in elasticity and hydration typically take 8 to 12 weeks. This is normal and reflects the natural turnover rate of these tissues.

Lifestyle tips

How to boost your results

Ensure your dietary protein intake is adequate

In order to support collagen synthesis with this plan you need the protein building blocks from your diet. Most adults will need in the region of 30-50g of protein per meal to achieve their daily requirements. This would be adjusted based on age and activity levels.

Be aware of your inflammatory state

High stress levels, high sugar intake, regular intense exercise and consumption of poor-quality foods drive up inflammation which will cause the body to age faster. This degrades collagen structures which means results will take longer to be seen when supplementing as you are building up from a lower level. Limit or avoid processed foods as much as possible, focus on good hydration levels, stress management and a diet formed around whole food ingredients. Our Core plans offer the key nutrients to help swing the balance in your favour here. 

Are your topical products right for you?

When looking at hair and skin health what we put on these will be as important as how we support them internally. And our needs from these things will change between seasons and life stages. If you find yourself struggling with dry skin, redness, oiliness breakouts, acne or other skin concerns we would advise considering switching your products to see if this helps.
