Start with protein
During digestion, your body breaks protein into amino acids, the building blocks your cells use to make collagen. You need a protein with a complete amino acid profile: all nine essential amino acids, in the same serving.
The short answer
Skin, hair, nails and joints all use collagen your body makes itself, from complete protein and a few supporting nutrients.
Hanuvier is a vegan protein with 5 collagen boosters: 20g organic pea and rice protein plus hyaluronic acid, biotin, zinc, lysine and hydroxyproline, with vitamin C. No collagen in it. The building blocks your body uses.
Built on the science, by a founder with 20 years in pharma and biotech. Every batch tested by ISO 17025 accredited labs. Try it for 60 days, full refund if it is not for you.
You searched for vegan collagen for skin, hair or joints.
Collagen is the structural protein in your skin, your joints and the tissue that holds you together. Hair and nails grow from skin that is built on it. Your body rebuilds it every day from protein and a few nutrients.
Your body builds its own collagen, and that is the collagen it uses. The collagen you eat is gone: broken down into amino acids and peptides.
Almost everything sold as vegan collagen has no collagen in it. The useful ones give your body the inputs. Here is what those are.

The whole idea, in one line.
All nine essential amino acids, the raw material your body builds from.
Vitamin C, zinc, lysine, hyaluronic acid, biotin and many other nutrients.
Your cells build, assemble and maintain collagen every day.
How collagen is made
Your body does the complicated part. You simply supply the raw materials.
During digestion, your body breaks protein into amino acids, the building blocks your cells use to make collagen. You need a protein with a complete amino acid profile: all nine essential amino acids, in the same serving.
Your cells link those amino acids into a chain and twist it into a triple helix. Vitamin C is studied for its role in this step, with zinc and iron as helpers.
The chains are tied to each other so the tissue holds. Lysine is studied for its role in those links. This is where collagen gets its strength, not just its shape.
Collagen lives in a matrix that needs water and signals. Hyaluronic acid is studied for its role in holding water there; biotin is studied for its role in normal skin and hair.
This is exactly what Hanuvier is built around: 20g of complete vegan protein and the five collagen boosters, in one daily serving. See what's inside →

If you want to support your own collagen production
No complicated stack. No separate protein powder plus a separate "collagen" ritual.
Collagen is made from protein. 20g of complete protein a day is where it starts.
Vitamin C, zinc, lysine, hyaluronic acid and biotin, in the same serving as the protein rather than on a different day.
Your body rebuilds collagen every day, so the nutrients need to be there every day. Two scoops, once a day.

Questions people ask
The simple version above is enough for most visitors. The mechanism, with references, lives on its own page.
Read How your body builds collagenNo. Collagen itself is an animal protein. Your body makes its own, and it can do that on a fully vegan diet, because it builds collagen from amino acids and nutrients, not from collagen you eat.
Mostly, products sold under that name are nutrient blends meant to support your body's own collagen production, not collagen. A few newer ones make real collagen by fermentation, and your body breaks that down like any other protein. Hanuvier is a nutrient blend with one difference: it starts with the protein.
It depends on what is in it. Your body's collagen production is studied to depend on a complete supply of amino acids plus vitamin C, zinc, lysine and a few others. A product that gives you only some of those is missing part of the process.
It is digested like any other protein. Your body takes it apart into amino acids and peptides and uses those pieces, along with many other nutrients, to build its own collagen.
The same way everyone does: by making it. A complete plant protein gives your body the amino acids. Vitamin C, zinc, lysine, hyaluronic acid, biotin and many other nutrients are used by the body to build its own collagen.
No. Hanuvier is a vegan protein with five collagen boosters. It contains no collagen. It gives your body the protein and the nutrients it uses to build its own.
The takeaway
One simple daily serving built around protein first, plus the nutrients your body is studied to use along the way.
