Question

Answer

Why is Aloe Gorgeous in a powder and not in capsules like other vegan collagen boosters?

Amino acids essential to collagen production come from protein, and Aloe gorgeous contains 3g of organic pea protein in every serving. That amount of protein is impossible to cram into a capsule! There’s also a reason we’ve chosen pea protein specifically: the essential amino acid lysine (essential meaning you have to get it through your diet) is a key amino acid in collagen production [1] and Pea Protein is high in lysine content.

How do I take Aloe Gorgeous?

Add one scoop of Aloe Gorgeous into your choice of water, plant-based milk, or coffee. Then stir and enjoy. If you have a bit more time to devote, you can add a scoop into a smoothie for a hint of vanilla and some serious collagen-boosting power. 

When’s the best time to take Aloe Gorgeous?

You’re welcome to take Aloe Gorgeous at any time of day - feel free to work it in however it fits into your schedule. We like to take it first thing in the morning along with our other supplements for one big nutritional boost at the beginning of the day.

Is Aloe Gorgeous safe for nursing and pregnancy?

The ingredients in Aloe Gorgeous are generally safe for pregnant and nursing women, but we’d like you to consult your doctor before taking it just to be on the safe side.

I thought all collagen had to be animal-based. How does yours work?

You’re not alone. For quite some time, the beauty industry was cluttered with collagen made from animals because it was thought that ingesting collagen would boost your own collagen supply.

For vegans - and anyone who craves a clean source of collagen - this has always posed an issue. So, instead, we turned to a plant-based collagen solution. We looked at how collagen is built and created a product that has the tools your body needs to build its own collagen: Aloe Vera, Vitamin C, E, Amino Acids, Silica. 

Your body knows what it’s doing, so simply give it the building blocks it needs and let it get to work.

How does this differ from Be-you-tiful?

Both Aloe Gorgeous and Be-you-tiful can be taken together as your newest beauty staples, but they’re meant to do different things for you.

Be-you-tiful is for supporting comprehensive skin, hair, and nail health while Aloe Gorgeous is hyper-focused on your skin and joint health.

The pristine algae extracts and B Vitamins in Be-you-tiful help fight free radicals in your skin and support graceful aging.

Aloe Gorgeous’s cocktail of collagen-building tools is meant to equip your body with the nutrients it needs to build collagen on its own.

At what age should men and women start taking a collagen booster?

As we age, our bodies naturally slow down the production of collagen, so the argument can be made to begin a vegan collagen booster as early as your 20’s. Many people turn to collagen as the effects of age start to show on the skin, but let’s remember that collagen is so much more than skin deep. It makes up your tendons, your cartilage, your ligaments, and your bones, making it a fundamental protein to have throughout all of life.

Because it’s packed - simply - with nourishing aloe vera, vitamins, and amino acids, Aloe Gorgeous was created for everyone over the age of 4. As long as your doctor gives you the go-ahead, Aloe Gorgeous can have a home in any beauty cabinet.

Does this product come without sugar?

Currently, we have just one formula of Aloe Gorgeous. One of our foundational principles is making supplements that our customers enjoy taking. And supplements are more enjoyable to take when they taste good. 

That’s why our in-house Chef works tirelessly to create flavor combinations that will delight you, all while giving you tremendous nutrition to get you on the right path to health. 

Coconut sugar is particularly unique because it doesn’t require coconut trees to be cut down, making it one of the most sustainable sources of sugar you can find. It’s also lower on the Glycemic index than table sugar. 

The glycemic index (GI) is a measure of how quickly foods raise blood sugar levels - the lower the number, the longer it takes to raise blood sugar levels. Table sugar’s GI is 60, while coconut sugar’s GI is 54.
