At Dailipharma we are often asked if our Daili Movement, which contains collagen, is vegan. The short answer? No. And that makes perfect sense...

Collagen naturally occurs only in animal tissues and is therefore not available from plant sources.

Why is Collagen Not Vegan?

Collagen is derived from animal tissues such as skin, bone, and cartilage. The most commonly used types for collagen supplementation are fish and bovine collagen. In the beauty industry, fish collagen is often used for external applications, while bovine collagen is more popular for internal supplements, such as in Daili Movement.

At Dailipharma we have consciously chosen hydrolysed bovine collagen . At the molecular level, when it is broken down into collagen peptides (as in the liquid ampoules), it no longer matters whether the collagen comes from fish or beef.
The peptide size is the same, thus eliminating the supposed absorption advantage of fish collagen.
Did you know that Dailipharma collagen (Peptan) is absorbable up to +91%?

Why does Dailipharma choose Bovine Collagen?

Our choice for bovine collagen is not only based on quality, but also on practical benefits:

1. More Affordable for You

Fish collagen is up to three times more expensive than bovine collagen. By choosing bovine collagen, we can reduce costs and offer you a high-quality supplement at an affordable price.

2. Free from Allergens

Fish allergies are common, and by avoiding fish collagen we make our products accessible to a larger group of people. Bovine collagen does not contain allergens and is therefore a safer choice.

3. Better in Taste and Texture

With high concentrations of collagen, such as in our Daili Movement, texture plays an important role. Fish collagen tends to have a slimy texture and less pleasant taste/odor, which can detract from the user experience. Beef collagen offers a more accessible taste experience and a better texture, making it more pleasant to take daily.
