At E+ROSE we believe that food and plants are medicine.
This strong belief has led us to a partnership with Copina Co. - a plant-based collagen supplement founded by Carolyn Yachanin.
Copina Co. produces a vegan collagen boost that is formulated by herbalists and is third-party lab tested. This vegan collagen boost is a non-GMO, Sugar free product that supports hair, skin, and nails.
Collagen is an integral component in the overall internal structure of the human body. We believe providing the essential elements to its production, and addressing the root causes of its degradation, are key to sustained longevity.
WHAT IS COLLAGEN?
Collagen is the most abundant protein within the body. It is made up of various amino acids like Glycine, Proline, and Hydroxyproline (Nutrition Source). Collagen synthesis takes place within the barriers of our skin, and must have certain components such as Vitamin C, amino acids, zinc, copper to support itself (Nutrition Source).
As we begin to age, our ability to produce collagen decreases. This important protein is what helps to maintain the skins elasticity, as well as keep our skin, hair, and nails well hydrated. The collagen craze began a few years ago, as people realized the importance this integral internal protein has for defying the aging process, decreasing inflammation, and supporting external glow and vibrancy.
Carolyn Yachanin created Copina Co. with the desire to bring about the same benefits of bovine or fish byproduct collagen to cosnsumers, while remaining fully plant/botanical based.

“Our external health reflects our internal health. To boost beauty, we have to start from within”
- Carolyn Yachanin, Founder of Copina Co.
WHAT IS IN plant-based COLLAGEN?
Collagen as a molecule is fully an animal byproduct, whereas plant-based collagen is a formula that promotes the human body’s own natural collagen synthesis (Copina Co). Copina Co. used ancient nutritional practices certified by herbalists to develop the specific nutrients within their formulation that best promote our own internal production of this integral protein.
Copina Co. Collagen is made up of various botanicals, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that individually spur our natural production of collagen.
The Ingredients that make up Copina Co.’s plant based collagen includes two blends:
The Collagen Boost Blend, and the Nourishment blend
COLLAGEN BOOST BLEND:
Bamboo leaf extract:
This contains natural silica. Silica aids in creating bonds between protein molecules, and to help the skin retain water.
Organic Tremella Mushroom Extract:
Originating from traditional Chinese Medicine, this fungi commonly called “the Beauty Mushroom”, contains polysaccharide carbohydrates that directly help minimize the outward appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Organic Amla Berry:
Otherwise referred to as the “Indian Gooseberry” and derived from ayurvedic medicine, contains one of the highest concentrations of Vitamin C in the world. Vitamin C is needed to create the enzymes that are responsible for collagen synthesis.
Hyaluronic Acid:
This aids in the locking of moisture within the skin as well as help to reduce inflammation within wounds.
Biotin:
More commonly referred to as vitamin B, biotin helps to produce keratin - the protein that leads to healthy and moisturized hair, skin, and nails.
NOURISHMENT BLEND:
Organic coconut milk powder
Organic rice milk powder
Organic rice hulls
