Q: I thought there was no such thing as a vegan collagen supplement?! 

A: There isn't! To clarify, this isn’t a collagen supplement, but a collagen boosting supplement. Collagen supplements that are available on the market are typically sourced from animals. Rather than ingesting the collagen from other animals, this vegan gummy is formulated to help your body build new collagen itself. This delicious, watermelon-flavored gummy contains necessary nutrients to promote collagen production: lysine, vitamin A and vitamin C, as well as Amla fruit.

Q: Why did the serving size change?

A: As MaryRuth’s continues to grow and add new products to our line, we are also continuously reevaluating our current products to make sure that they reflect our customers' needs and wants for their health journeys. Our Collagen Boosting Gummies were one such product that we recently decided to take another look into.

We have gotten feedback from customers mentioning that they would like certain products to last longer, especially if they are sharing these supplements with their family. When looking into our Collagen Boosting Gummies with this information, we believe that this supplement’s dosage can be lessened to prolong the supply of these gummies, while still containing ample nutrients for the consumer. Though the updated serving size from three gummies to one gummy no longer supplies 100% Daily Value (DV) of Vitamins A and C, MaryRuth’s food-first approach to nutrients encourages that people get servings of these vitamins that are important for collagen production from their diet as well. L-lysine and Amla Fruit, also included in the formula, have no FDA-established DVs.

Though our suggested serving size and label are updated, you can be assured that the amount of nutrients per bottle and per gummy is the same as before; we did not decrease the overall amount of vitamins and other nutrients provided in this product. Three gummies will continue to provide 900 mcg Vitamin A, 90 mg Vitamin C, 150 mg L-lysine and 10 mg Amla Fruit Powder, and some people may opt to take these gummies using the original dose recommendation. If you do opt to decrease your dose to the newly suggested single gummy, there’s good news — the supply of the bottle triples (90 days)! Whichever dosage you decide to take, we always advise that you speak with your physician or healthcare professional to ensure you’re taking the right amount for your health.
