9 Best Vegan Collagen Supplements UK 2024 | Swisse, Sunwarrior and More

Direct Vitality's vegan collagen simply had to be our no.1 pick! These convenient capsules contain all of the essential building blocks for collagen production, including spirulina, vitamin C and zinc, as well as the amino acids l-proline and l-lysine.

If you also supplement for vitamin B12, you'll be pleased to hear that each dose contains 200 mcb of methylcobalamin too. This is the most bio-available (easily absorbed) form of B12, helping you to streamline the number of pills you take per day. Best of all, these capsules are easy to swallow and budget-friendly — that's why they're our top recommendation!

If you're not really a fan of swallowing capsules or pills, you might want to try this powdered supplement instead. Finely ground and practically flavour-free, it's the perfect choice for adding to protein balls, cookies, muffins and more. We can't think of a tastier way to stimulate collagen production!

Unlike many other powders and shakes, this supplement contains all three vital amino acids needed for collagen synthesis. Not only are these present in a higher concentration per dose, but they're tailored to the optimal ratio for improved efficacy. 

The Pro Co.'s vegan collagen complex is formulated especially for healthy skin, hair and nails. It's made and manufactured here in the UK, without any unnecessary additives, preservatives, artificial colours or flavours, delivering only an expert blend of collagen-boosting vitamins and minerals.

Along with vitamin C, zinc and spirulina, each capsule contains copper, which can promote even skin pigmentation. They're also a suitable choice for those with food intolerances and allergies, as the formulation is free from gluten, soy and nuts.

Looking to nature for inspiration, Vegavero have developed a range of high quality vegan supplements that cater to a variety of nutritional needs. Their Colla-Veg complex combines fruit, vegetable and plant extracts with amino acids l-lysine and l-proline to support skin, nails, cartilage and bones.

Two included ingredients that are particularly beneficial are pomegranate and goji berry. Pomegranate extract is rich in punicalagin, a potent antioxidant, whilst goji berries contain beta-carotene which our bodies convert to vitamin A. These, along with the amino acids, should help to boost collagen production swiftly.

If you're looking for an all-in-one daily wellness shake, we recommend this offering from Sunwarrior. Each scoop provides 14 g of plant protein, as well as vitamin C, copper, spirulina and biotin. This particular blend also includes peptides, which are short-chain amino acids that can speed up wound healing and muscle growth.

You get approximately 20 servings per tub, and it's available in both chocolate fudge and vanilla flavours and also comes unflavoured, which can be conveniently mixed up in your gym shaker. It's even suitable for those following a ketogenic diet!

Aside from recovery and rejuvenation (thanks to the inclusion of vitamin C & zinc), WeightWorld's vegan collagen promises to be beneficial for your gut too. Each capsule contains Lactobacillus acidophilus — a probiotic found in fermented foods that helps with digestion and promotes the healthy functioning of your gut microbiome.

Although some reviewers have experienced bloating with this product, it remains a popular choice with most people only having positive results. You also get 180 capsules per container, so it's pretty good value for money.

This liquid supplement contains vitamin C, biotin (otherwise known as vitamin B7) and selenium, which are used in the body to break down amino acids and reduce oxidative stress. Many customers find the blood orange flavour to be particularly strong though, so we recommend taking the two teaspoon dose quickly with breakfast. 

Regardless of its acquired taste, this formula promises to improve the quality and texture of your skin, hair and nails. Plus, the fact that it comes in a glass bottle means you can recycle the packaging once you're done!

The base ingredient of this superfood mix is pea protein, and only organic, plant-based ingredients have been used. It even contains vanilla, for a hint of flavour without sugar or sweeteners.

Although the main collagen-boosting ingredients that we mentioned earlier are absent, you'll benefit from extracts like tocos and tremella mushroom. Tocos is a fat-soluble form of vitamin E, whereas tremella has been shown to increase the longevity of fibroblasts (the cells that synthesise collagen). So as well as getting a decent protein intake, this powder will help with anti-ageing too!

These gelatin-free gummies make a good alternative to powders and capsules if you want to try a vegan supplement. Each capsule contains a whopping 96 mg of collagen derived from black marine algae, which is in the same family as spirulina.

The delicious orange flavour and soft, chewy texture make these gummies easy to ingest However, they contain almost much sugar as the average sweet (4 g per piece), so they may not be the healthiest choice.
