What’s actually in the jar
Most collagen on the shelf is hydrolysed protein from cowhide, or from fish skin and scales. This is neither.
Veggimins True Vegan Collagen is a vegan collagen powder built on VC-H1®, an extract of hibiscus flower. The glycoproteins in hibiscus are hydrolysed to release an amino acid profile that closely resembles the profile of animal collagen — the same building blocks, from a plant.
Each ½ teaspoon serving contains:
- VC-H1® hibiscus extract1,800 mg
- Vitamin A (retinyl palmitate)700 mcg
- Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid)15 mg
- Biotin (vitamin B7)300 mcg
Plus monk fruit, for a trace of sweetness. That is the entire ingredient list — no fillers, no flow agents, no flavouring.
Hibiscus also brings polyphenols and flavonoids, which cowhide does not.

If you’ve looked for collagen supplements for vegetarians, you already know the problem
Search for collagen and you get bovine hide and marine peptides. Filter for vegetarian collagen and the results turn into “collagen boosters” — vitamin C and amino acid blends that hand your body raw material and hope it does the rest. Those aren’t really a vegan collagen supplement; they’re something taken instead of one.
This works differently. A plant based collagen powder built on hibiscus gives you the amino acids directly, from a plant source, rather than prompting your body to manufacture more of its own.
If you’re comparing options for the best vegan collagen, three questions separate them: what is the actual source, how many milligrams per serving, and what else is in the jar.

Questions
How is this different from bovine or marine collagen?
Bovine and marine collagen peptides are hydrolysed animal protein — cowhide, or fish skin and scales. Vegan collagen peptides like this one start from plant glycoproteins instead. Hibiscus extract is hydrolysed to release an amino acid profile closely resembling animal collagen’s, so you get comparable building blocks without an animal source. It also carries antioxidants that animal collagen doesn’t.
What does it taste like?
Close to nothing. It’s lightly sweetened with monk fruit and has no fishy note, which is the usual complaint about marine collagen. In coffee or a smoothie you won’t detect it.
How many servings are in a jar?
Thirty. At one serving a day that’s a full month from a 2 oz jar.
One jar, one month
About $1.16 a day.
