Does anyone know if plant based/marine based collagen is as good as animal collagen? I have a feeling animal-derived collagen would be more effective but if you have any thoughts/experience please share!
Unfortunately, there are no vegetarian or vegan whole foods or supplements that contain collagen.
Some successful experiments have used genetically-modified yeast and bacteria to produce human collagen, which is technically vegan[*].
If you don’t eat animal products, your best bet for supporting collagen production is to consume plenty of protein. That way, you’ll hopefully get enough amino acids to support collagen synthesis.
