The short answer is no - and that choice is intentional.
We don't sell products derived from animals, and we also don't believe that supplementing with collagen delivers the benefits people are promised.
When you consume collagen, your body doesn't absorb it as "collagen." It's broken down into individual amino acids, just like protein from any other source. There's no guarantee those amino acids are rebuilt into collagen, or directed to skin, joints, or hair.
Collagen isn't something the body absorbs whole. It's something the body builds. Our products support the minerals, digestion, vitamin cofactors, and internal balance required for natural collagen production.
We also don't subscribe to the collagen craze as it's currently marketed. Much of it is driven by trend and promotion rather than clear biological necessity.
More importantly, the body is designed to make its own collagen when it's properly supported. Collagen production depends on nutrients like vitamin C, minerals, and amino acids - along with healthy digestion and metabolism - not on ingesting collagen itself.
Our philosophy is simple: Support the systems that build collagen naturally, instead of trying to force it from the outside.
How the Body Makes Collagen (Quick Primer)
The body doesn't need collagen ingested.
It needs:
Vitamin C
Amino acids (glycine, proline, lysine)
Minerals & cofactors
Low inflammation + good digestion
HBN Products That Support Natural Collagen Production
Fulvic Minerals
Why it matters:
Collagen synthesis is enzyme-driven. Enzymes require minerals.
Fulvic minerals:
Improve mineral transport and absorption
Support trace minerals needed for connective tissue formation
Support cellular communication and nutrient uptake
Think of this as the delivery system for collagen building blocks.
Ocean Vitality (Sea Vegetables)
Why it matters:
Sea vegetables provide naturally occurring:
Silica
Magnesium
Trace minerals
Silica in particular is strongly associated with:
Skin elasticity
Hair and nail strength
Connective tissue integrity
Digestive & Elimination Support (Tulsi Trim, Colon Support, Liver Support)
This is the part most collagen brands ignore.
Why it matters:
If digestion is impaired or elimination is sluggish:
Amino acids aren't absorbed efficiently
Nutrients are rerouted to stress response instead of tissue repair
Inflammation breaks down collagen faster than it can be made
Your digestive and elimination products:
Improve amino acid absorption
Lower systemic stress
Reduce inflammatory burden
Nova Nootropic Coffee (Indirect but Important)
Why it matters:
Chronic stress degrades collagen through cortisol-driven breakdown.
Nova supports:
Calm focus
Nervous system regulation
Reduced stress signaling
Less stress = less collagen breakdown.
