What is collagen, and what happens to the collagen you eat?
Your body builds its own collagen, and that is the collagen it uses, in your skin, your joints and the tissue that holds you together.
The collagen you eat is broken down during digestion. It is gone, taken apart into amino acids and peptides.
See what happens Why Hanuvier
The short answer
The collagen you eat is taken apart in digestion. Your body then builds its own from protein and a few helpers.
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.
Four things to know
Two things are true at once.
Your body makes collagen. And the collagen you eat is treated like any other protein.
Collagen is a protein your body makes.
It is the most common protein in your body: the mesh that holds your skin, joints and connective tissue together. Your body builds it every day, inside your own cells, and rebuilds it as it wears. Nobody hands it to you. You make it.
The collagen you eat does not arrive as collagen.
Your digestion does not recognise collagen as collagen. It sees protein, and it does what it does with every protein: it takes it apart into amino acids and short peptides. By the time it reaches your blood, the collagen you swallowed is gone as collagen. What is left is building material, the same kind of building material any protein gives you.
Your body does use those pieces. It just needs a lot more than them.
The amino acids from collagen you eat can go into the collagen your body makes; that part is true. But building collagen is not a one-ingredient job. Your cells also need vitamin C, zinc, iron and lysine for the assembly, hyaluronic acid in the matrix, and many other nutrients along the way. Collagen powder brings the amino acids and almost none of the rest.
So why not give your body the nutrients directly?
That is the science Hanuvier is built on. Instead of feeding you collagen and asking your body to take it apart, Hanuvier gives you what your body uses to build its own: 20g of complete plant protein, with all nine essential amino acids, and the collagen boosters in the same scoop. Your body does the building. We make sure it never runs short of what it needs.

Questions people ask
The short answers.
The mechanism, with references, lives on its own page.
Read How your body builds collagenDoes collagen powder work?
The collagen in it is broken down like any protein. What your body keeps is amino acids. Whether that helps depends on everything else your body has to work with.
Is the collagen I eat the same collagen that ends up in my skin?
No. Your body builds its own, from amino acids and nutrients.
Is Hanuvier a collagen powder?
No. It is a vegan protein with the nutrients your body uses to build its own collagen. It does not contain collagen.
