Product Information
Unived’s Vegan Collagen Builder is a plant-based collagen builder with a blend of Phytonutrients, Micronutrients, and Amino Acids that support’s body’s natural collagen synthesis.
The USP of Unived’s Vegan Collagen Builder is the formulation with scientifically validated ingredients like necessary essential Amino Acids – Glycine, Lysine, and Ornithine, natural antioxidants – Lutein, Vitamin C, and minerals like Sodium & Calcium, and hydrating ingredients like Hesperidin, Hyaluronic Acid, & Organic Bamboo Silica that aid body’s natural collagen synthesis. This is unlike many plant-based vegan collagen builders in the market that are loaded with a lot of plants and fruit extracts and a lot of biotin lacking scientifically backed ingredients that are crucial to collagen synthesis.
Collagen is a fibrous protein structure that makes up all the connective tissues and the body’s natural process of producing Collagen declines as we age this decline shows up as skin sagging, wrinkles, weakened bones, cartilage, and tendons. Our formulation works to enhance the body’s ability naturally produce collagen, inhibit the enzymes that degrade collagen, prevent the cells from free radical damage and ensure hydration. Unived’s Vegan Collagen Builder is ideal for someone aiming to build natural collagen in the body to restore healthy and strengthened skin, bones, nails, and hair along with having antioxidant support.
Key Benefits
- Helps in enhancing the body’s collagen synthesis process and increase the rate of collagen synthesis & decreases collagen degradation.
- Helps provide structure and strength to skin, bones, nails, and hair.
- Helps trap moisture and prevent dehydration of the dermis.
- Helps reduce wrinkle formation and makes the skin appear firm and smooth.
- Helps provide tensile strength to tissues and allows joints to absorb shocks.
- Helps in wound healing
- Helps slow down the aging process and improve the elasticity of the skin.
- Helps protects the cells from free radicals.

As we age, changes are seen in the mechanical properties of tissues. For skin, bone, and certain other organs, these properties are substantially determined by the connective tissue, and collagen being the most copious protein in the connective tissue is subjected to age-related changes such as degradation (breaking down as opposed to its synthesis [4].
Studies indicate that skin collagen content is reduced with increasing age and the following menopause. This substantiates the appearance of skin sagging and wrinkles associated with aging. As Collagen in connective tissues contributes to bone strength lack of collagen increases fragility [4].
Collagen-building supplements with the right nutrient composition will effectively aid the body’s natural collagen synthesis process.

Mode of Action:
Unived’s Vegan Collagen Builder exerts its action through:
A. Aiding Synthesis of Collagen: through, the synergistic action of Amino Acids, Vitamin C, and Minerals like Sodium and Copper.
Amino acids (Gly-Orn-Lys) are necessary for the primary initiation of Collagen Synthesis.
Vitamin C acts as a cofactor in the hydroxylation process where Proline and Lysine are hydroxylated to form Hydroxyproline and Hydroxylysine, the essential components of Collagen. Hydroxylation of proteins imparts tensile strength by allowing fibers to cross-pink within the proteins [5].
Sodium aids in Vitamin C uptake and Copper is required for the enzyme responsible for the formation of cross-links in Collagen [11].
B. Protecting Collagen from Degradation: through,
Lutein: A potent natural antioxidant, inactivates collagenase enzyme responsible for the degradation of Collagen and increases the rate of Collagen synthesis. It also has photoprotective properties [6].
Hesperidin: has antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activity. It inhibits UV-induced inflammation and wrinkle formation. It also inhibits the activity and expression of Collagen degrading enzymes and upregulates Collagen synthesis. It is a natural antioxidant [7].
C. Maintenance & Hydration: through,
Hyaluronic Acid: prevents dehydration of the dermis. It helps to repair fibroblast cells which produce Collagen [8]. Thus Hyaluronic acid aids in Collagen synthesis and prevents degradation of the dermis layer maintaining the integrity of the skin [9].
Organic Bamboo Extract: It is a source of the mineral silica. It is important for optimal collagen synthesis and plays a structural role in the cross-linking of glycosaminoglycans in connective tissue improving skin strength and elasticity [10].

Customer Reviews
I purchased 4 bottles of this in October/November 2021 & have been using it consistently since then. I'm on my third bottle already. I bought it for my bones as I have a spine injury. I have noticed that my hair has become thicker & grows faster. My nails too. I'm yet to test my bone density, but going by the other pleasant visible effects, I'm sure that my bones have benefited too. Each bottle lasts around 38-40 days for me even though I use just a little under the scoop provided. The taste isn't great (I'm not a fan of stevia) but I have gotten used to it. I consume it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Overall, I would recommend this product. But you need to be consistent with it & have some patience to see results.
I'm halfway through the product, and i can see that my facial skin is firmer and smoother than before I used it.
Vegan Collagen Builder
Can feel the skin dryness reduced and feeling hair getting firm..quick digest
Most of us order collagen builders for skin and hair however we forget it's an important building block for our bones too. I purchased this product after I had a fracture and honestly it is the best!!! My broken bone has almost healed and I really feel that collagen builder had expideted the process and helped me get back to my active lifestyle. My skin has overall started to feel fresher and glowing too as a plus! Started my 2nd box and will definitely order more.
