I tried to find this product online, but it looks like there are several different types. Can anyone tell me what type they use?

Thanks and good luck everyone!

Hey, someone here suggested a product called Hydroplenish a while back. It has hydrolyzed collagen but also has hyaluronic acid. I swear, it may not be helping my boobs, but it might be who knows.

What I have found is that my skin is not dry, and it's winter! I normally put on hand lotion 15 time a day, and I'm using it like once or twice now. I will be taking this stuff for the rest of my life.

I don't fancy the cow collagen or the man-made stuff, so have just ordered a 6 month batch of marine collagen capsules.

WOO HOO!! can't wait to try em out. Hope they work............

Be careful with ingesting too many animal products! It's best to tick with plant-based stuff - much safer for our bodies to accept.

the collagen from vitaminworld.com appears to be vegetable based, by the way...

the boobs are based on collagen... taking collegen can help firm them up and plump them up... plus helps your skin, hair, nails, etc etc... and great for your joints!

sorry but i think collagen is animal protein so can't really be plant based. anyway i wrote to vitaminworld just to make sure, i will let everyone know if they reply. all the other companies that were selling 100% pure collagen seid it's bovine based.

the ingredients
January 20 2007, 5:46 PM

all of the ingredients say vegetable this or vegetable that... it is probably a man-made compound mimicking animal collagen?

we will find out when they write you back. i hope it is vegetable based for your sake, because i know you are a veggie!! it doesnt matter to me... heck, im taking bovine ovary, so obviously a little more cow doesnt bother me, but i know how important it would be for you and those who follow the veggie diet!

I know there is also one type of collagen derived from chickens. Certainly not veggie, but maybe better than bovine for those who are worried about cow products.

Got reply from Vitaminworld this morning, here it is:

Thank you for contacting Vitamin World through our website. We appreciate your interest in our products.

Our collagen product is not from a bovine source. It is from porcine sources.

so, unfortunately it's not veggie either, will have to keep looking

but the first thing i thought of is "did that just say porcupine? sounds painful!"

haha... i must be losing my mind...

what is interesting is that i have a pork allergy... it makes me super sick. but the pills havent been a problem. maybe its the processing they go through. or maybe its not the vitex that has been making me queasy... i will experiment and figure that out...

good luck in the veggie quest. sorry i couldnt have been more help! turns out you may have helped me instead!

anonymous, the one faerycat is taking is in gelatine capsules and gelatine is made from cow bones and cartilage, but i might nave found something that i can take

emmie, that is funny that you are okay with those pills even though you're allergic to pork, maybe you're just allergic to something that pork contains

Do you have more information about the collagen derived from chicken?

Anyone know where these can be found?
