Answers to CollagenLike
FAQs
Is CollagenLike vegan collagen?
No, collagen is always of animal origin!
According to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, Chapter I, collagen used in foodstuffs may only be produced from the following raw materials:
a) Hides and skins of farmed ruminants
b) Pig hides and bones
c) Poultry hides and bones
d) Tendons
e) Hides and skins of wild game
f) Fish skins and bones
CollagenLike is therefore not collagen, but a plant-based alternative to collagen peptides.
What makes CollagenLike special?
CollagenLike is a 100% plant-based alternative to animal collagen and is derived from the hibiscus plant. A patented manufacturing process creates special plant peptides with a very small molecular size, which are generally considered to be highly bioavailable to the body.
The raw material differs from classic collagen as it does not come from animal sources and is based on an innovative plant-based peptide structure. Purely plant-based collagen alternatives of this type are still rare and represent a new development in the field of modern, functional nutrition.
The price reflects the complex research, development, and manufacturing process required to extract these special peptides from plant-based raw materials.
What ingredients is CollagenLike made of?
CollagenLike contains a plant-based peptide blend derived from the hibiscus plant.

What is the bioavailability of CollagenLike?
A molecular weight analysis of this product by MALDI-TOF/MS (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time of Flight/Mass Spectrometry) showed that over 92% of the peptides contained have a molecular weight of ≤ 500 Da, a clear indication of a high degree of hydrolysis.
It can therefore be concluded that a large proportion of the peptides have a very small molecular size, which suggests potentially good bioavailability.
How has the new CollagenLike version been optimized?
Our CollagenLike has been specifically further developed and offers clear advantages over the previous version, both in terms of composition and application.
Thanks to the higher concentration of active peptides, more efficient absorption is enabled, which is reflected in improved bioavailability.
Why does the new version have an improved protein and amino acid profile?
The optimized CollagenLike has a significantly higher protein and amino acid content. This is the result of:
• a higher use of high-quality raw hibiscus material
• a further developed separation and purification process
The optimized production technology specifically isolates the active proteins and amino acids, while non-essential components are removed. The result is a significantly higher concentration of the relevant nutrients compared to the previous version.
Why is the new version brighter?
The lighter color of CollagenLike is not a loss of quality, but the result of targeted pH optimization.
Hibiscus pigments (anthocyanins) are pH sensitive:
• acidic → dark purple / red
• more neutral → lighter, pale purple hue
By adjusting the pH value to a more neutral range, higher product stability and consistent quality are achieved. The lighter color is thus a visible sign of this optimization.
What is the packaging made of?
The packaging consists of a mono-plastic that is BPA-free and 100% recyclable. The inside of the CollagenLike bag is colored to provide a familiar metallic shimmering effect. Even if it looks like it, the packaging is 100% aluminum-free.
This packaging material is particularly well suited for food products and ensures a long shelf life. It protects the product from UV radiation (light), moisture, and loss of aroma. In addition, this type of packaging offers many other advantages, such as better protection during transport and lighter transport weight, which reduces CO2 emissions.
How are raw materials and finished products tested for contaminants?
Both the raw materials and the finished product undergo comprehensive tests for contaminants and other undesirable substances. These analyses are carried out as part of our internal quality assurance by independent, accredited testing laboratories in Germany. This is how we ensure that our product meets the highest safety standards. You can find the test certificate on the CollagenLike product page.
Is the product versatile?
CollagenLike has a slightly fruity taste and is odorless, making it particularly versatile for use in both sweet and savory recipes.
You can use CollagenLike just like classic collagen powder, for example, in:
- Water, juices, or plant-based milk alternatives
- Coffee or tea
- Smoothies or protein shakes
- Breakfast bowls or yogurt
- Porridge or muesli
- Homemade energy balls or bars
What's the best way to store my CollagenLike?
Store your CollagenLike packaging away from direct sunlight, at room temperature, and in a dry place.
Is CollagenLike also suitable for children?
CollagenLike is not recommended for children. If your child is still to take CollagenLike, you should definitely consult your pediatrician beforehand.
What is the recommended dosage for adults?
5 g of CollagenLike powder per day is sufficient.
What time of day should I take CollagenLike?
There's no specific time of day when you need to take it. Thanks to its neutral taste, you can stir CollagenLike into your muesli, porridge, or yogurt in the morning, add it to your soup at lunchtime, enrich your coffee or tea in the afternoon, or take it in a glass of water in the evening.
Can I take CollagenLike powder on an empty stomach?
Yes, stirred into a liquid, you can also enjoy our CollagenLike powder on an empty stomach.
Should I expect side effects when taking CollagenLike?
No side effects are currently known.
Can I take CollagenLike in combination with other food supplements?
Yes, you can continue to take your current supplements as usual. We are not aware of any interactions between CollagenLike and other supplements at this time.
How long should I take CollagenLike?
Every body reacts differently. We recommend a daily dose of 5 g CollagenLike for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
Is CollagenLike suitable for allergy sufferers?
Yes, our product is also suitable for allergy sufferers, as it is gluten-free, lactose-free, egg-free, soy-free, and dairy-free, and contains absolutely no additives or flavorings.
How long does it take for my order to ship?
Within Germany, the delivery time is 3 to 5 business days.
Do you also ship internationally?
Yes, we are happy to deliver CollagenLike to all corners of Europe and, of course, to Switzerland.
