Plant-based organic collagen booster

Amino acids are essential to collagen production and come from protein. We’ve included 3g of organic pea protein in every serving because it’s naturally high in Lysine – an essential amino acid used in the creation of collagen.[4]

Vitamin C does so much more than just support your immune system! Vitamin C regulates the synthesis of collagen and is essential in the hydroxylation of collagen molecules. Hydroxylation is a natural chemical process that helps support the structure of collagen and allows it to support your skin.[7]

If you’ve ever had a nasty sunburn before, you’ve probably felt the cool, soothing properties of Aloe Vera gel on your skin. Aloe Vera has even been shown to improve the appearance of facial wrinkles and skin elasticity.[1]
The reason it’s so helpful to your skin? Aloe Vera is a polysaccharide and polysaccharides play a role in bringing together amino acids to help produce collagen.[2] Collagen is formed in strands (assemblies) and studies show polysaccharides can potentially help create larger, stronger collagen assemblies – think of it as scaffolding to help quickly build longer, stronger collagen strands.[3]

Silica is a natural compound made of two of the earth’s most abundant materials: silicon (Si) and oxygen (O2). There are two types, one used for industrial purposes, and the other used in food (like what we have here). Silicon can be found in your skin and is associated with the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans, a group of compounds which deal with the support and maintenance of skin and hair structural proteins such as collagen and elastin.[5]Silica deficiency decreases the amount of collagen found in the body[6] and often leads to brittle nails, while hair strands with higher Silicon content tend to have a lower falling rate and higher brightness.[5]

Vitamin E is used in many topical skin products, but ingesting it has been shown to help protect against collagen cross-linking and lipid peroxidation – chemical events in the body that are both linked to the aging of the skin.[8]

A dab of organic coconut sugar sweetens this powder perfectly. We’ve chosen coconut sugar because it’s one of the most sustainable sweeteners in the world, obtained from coconuts that don’t require any trees to be cut down. It also has a lower glycemic index compared to conventional table sugar. ^[1]

Unlike coconut water, coconut milk comes from the flesh of mature brown coconuts. The rich and creamy texture is why coconut milk is popularly used in traditional cuisines around the world. In addition to being a delicious plant-based milk alternative, coconut milk also contains Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), which are fatty acids that assist in the metabolic process.^[1]

Vanilla adds a delicious flavor to this product. Our natural flavors are organic-compliant, which means we ensure our flavor sources, and the means to extract them, meet the criteria for organic and non-GMO certification. It also means no synthetic pesticides, food radiation, or sewage sludge. Learn more about natural flavors here.

Amino acids essential to collagen production come from protein, and Aloe gorgeous contains 3g of organic pea protein in every serving. That amount of protein is impossible to cram into a capsule! There’s also a reason we’ve chosen pea protein specifically: the essential amino acid lysine (essential meaning you have to get it through your diet) is a key amino acid in collagen production [1] and Pea Protein is high in lysine content.

Add one scoop of Aloe Gorgeous into your choice of water, plant-based milk, or coffee. Then stir and enjoy. If you have a bit more time to devote, you can add a scoop into a smoothie for a hint of vanilla and some serious collagen-boosting power.

All of the ingredients in Aloe Gorgeous are safe for children 4 years and older, but we recommend consulting with your pediatrician before giving this product to your kiddos.

The ingredients in Aloe Gorgeous are generally safe for pregnant and nursing women, but we’d like you to consult your doctor before taking it just to be on the safe side.

You’re not alone. For quite some time, the beauty industry was cluttered with collagen made from animals because it was thought that ingesting collagen would boost your own collagen supply.

For vegans – and anyone who craves a clean source of collagen – this has always posed an issue. So, instead, we turned to a plant-based collagen solution. We looked at how collagen is built and created a product that has the tools your body needs to build its own collagen: Aloe Vera, Vitamin C, E, Amino Acids, Silica.

Your body knows what it’s doing, so simply give it the building blocks it needs and let it get to work.
