Vegan collagen: “Botox from within” – natural alternative for firm skin and true beauty

Collagen is the most important structural protein in the body. It ensures the elasticity and strength of skin, bones, joints, tendons, and connective tissue. However, from the age of 25, the body's own collagen production steadily declines—resulting in wrinkles, sagging skin, and weaker connective tissue.

Benefits of collagen for skin and body

• Skin elasticity & moisture
• Strengthening hair & nails
• Support for bones, joints & muscles
• Protection against oxidative stress

Collagen production & influencing factors

Age, stress, UV radiation, smoking, and diet have a significant impact on the body's own collagen production. A conscious lifestyle and targeted nutrient intake can positively influence this process.

Does vegan collagen even exist?

Pure collagen is of animal origin. However, "vegan collagen" means providing the body with exactly the nutrients it needs to produce collagen itself. These include:

• Vitamin C : essential for collagen synthesis
• Amino acids such as glycine, proline, lysine
• Plant extracts (e.g. bamboo, spirulina, matcha)
• Plant-based hyaluronic acid for skin moisture

Botox from the inside – the vegan alternative

While Botox injections relax muscles superficially, "vegan collagen" works deeper: It supports the body's own collagen production and thus targets the underlying cause. You could say: Botox from within—only better, because it doesn't mask symptoms but strengthens structures.

Animal vs. Vegan Collagen

• Animal : provides ready-made collagen (peptides) from animal waste, so it is not vegan and often difficult to digest.
• Vegan: provides the building blocks + cofactors that the body needs for its own effective collagen production.

Foods & products for natural collagen formation

• Peppers, berries, citrus fruits (vitamin C)
• Legumes & nuts (amino acids)
• Green leafy vegetables, moringa, spirulina (secondary plant substances)

For targeted care, there are functional products such as:

• YLUMI VANILLA GLOW PROTEIN (rice, pea & hemp protein, 19 amino acids, bamboo extract, with matcha, spirulina, hyaluronic acid, biotin)
• YLUMI CHOCO GLOW PROTEIN (cocoa-based, valuable plant proteins + collagen building blocks, bamboo extract 19 amino acids with matcha, hyaluronic acid, biotin)
• BEAUTY x HYALURONIC ACID CAPSULES (High-quality vegan hyaluronic acid (low molecular weight) + Reishi, Camu Camu, Schisandra, Cordyceps, Ashwagandha and Ginseng, natural vitamin C, vitamin A, selenium, zinc and biotin)
• 2-PHASE SMOOTH SKIN SET (combined approach: high-quality Lipowheat™, phyto-ceramides, organic astaxanthin and organic linseed oil as well as vitamin B complex from buckwheat germ powder with all important B vitamins (B12, B2), skin-active micronutrients such as zinc from guava leaf, biotin, vitamin C from acerola, vitamin D from lichen, as well as oyster mushroom and reishi)

Conclusion: Vegan collagen – more than just a trend

Those who truly want to tackle skin aging at its root cause don't rely on short-term effects, but rather on sustainable, internal support. Vegan collagen is therefore the modern answer for anyone who wants to live beauty without compromise – natural, plant-based, and effective.
