Why we have included Planet Paleo in the PraveBio.cz range
Planet Paleo is a British brand specialising in collagen (since 2016). It has long focused on traceable sourcing and a controlled production process, verified through independent third-party certifications. Its range includes pure bovine and marine collagen, organic bone broths and collagen blends. The brand was founded by Ben Shouler in response to private-label products where ingredient sources and manufacturing standards are often stated rather than independently verified.
Bovine collagen comes from grass-fed herds in Argentina with independent verification from LIAF Control. Marine collagen is produced in Alaska from wild-caught white fish sourced from fisheries meeting the MSC standard. Organic bone broths come from Scandinavian organic farms working to KRAV standards and carrying Soil Association Organic certification. The brand also lists Halal among its certifications. The higher price reflects the use of higher-quality raw materials and the brand’s commitment to having both their origin and the full production process independently verified.

- Vit D3 Vitashine Spray – 1000 I.U.
Vegan vitamin D3 from lichen. The spray makes it easy to take vitamin D as part of a plant-focused diet. - Liquid Omega-3 EPA and DHA – Opti3 with vit. D3
Omega-3 from microalgae in liquid form. Contains EPA and DHA with no fish-derived ingredients. - Essential vitamins and minerals for a plant-based diet
A micronutrient complex for a vegan-focused diet. Contains active B12, folate, iron, zinc, calcium and magnesium in one product.
Usage tip: Take the blend regularly, ideally at the same time of day and in the same way. A consistent preparation routine makes it easier to follow the recommended serving.
Mix the chocolate blend into 200 ml of a plant-based drink; the manufacturer particularly recommends coconut drink for its flavour. The blend can also be used in smoothies or other cold recipes where the chocolate flavour works well.
Measure the serving accurately and use enough liquid. A smaller volume gives a stronger flavour and thicker texture, while a larger volume helps the powder mix more evenly.
Planet Paleo Vegan Collagen Alternative Chocolate Smoothie: key features
- 5 g of fermented amino acids per serving – amino acids make up the main part of the blend described as vegan collagen
- Vitamin C and MSM – each serving contains amino acids, vitamin C and the additional ingredient MSM
- Gotu kola, rosehip, pomegranate and bamboo extract – additional plant ingredients alongside the cocoa base
- Chocolate flavour and powdered format – the blend can be added to a plant-based drink, smoothie or porridge
- Fully plant-based, gluten-free, soya-free and with no added sugar – a plant-based alternative with no animal-derived ingredients
This version combines fermented amino acids, vitamin C and plant ingredients in one chocolate-flavoured serving with no animal-derived ingredients. It is not a cocoa drink or a stand-alone vitamin C supplement, but a blend of amino acids, vitamin C and plant extracts.
The term vegan collagen does not mean that the product contains animal-derived type I or III collagen. The blend contains amino acids commonly found in collagen, vitamin C and selected plant ingredients.
Among plant-based alternatives to collagen blends, this product brings several ingredients together in one serving. Our Pravé Bio e-shop also offers other proteins and collagens. For our products, we focus primarily on ingredients, raw material sourcing and recommended use.
Which type of collagen is right for me?
Different types of collagen have different roles in the body. When choosing a supplement, it helps to know the most common types of collagen and their usual sources.
Type I is one of the most common types of collagen in the body. In supplements, it usually comes from bovine or marine collagen; marine collagen is generally focused mainly on type I.
Type II is often associated with cartilage. It is not the same as standard collagen peptides. The most common form is undenatured type II collagen, usually from chicken sternum cartilage. This is a different form of collagen from standard hydrolysed collagen.
Type III often occurs alongside type I. In supplements, it comes mainly from bovine collagen.
Type IV forms part of basement membranes, the interfaces between tissues. In supplements it is more commonly encountered indirectly in complex blends; eggshell membranes are also mentioned in this context.
Type V occurs in smaller amounts. In supplements, it is found mainly in products using combined animal sources.

Ingredient breakdown and the role of each ingredient in the formula
Vegan L-glycine
What it is: An amino acid.
Role in the formula: The most abundant amino acid in the blend. In collagen protein, glycine occurs at approximately every third amino acid position, so it forms the basis of the profile of this plant-based alternative.
Amount: The manufacturer currently states only a total of 5 g of fermented amino acids per serving; the product page text does not state the amount of L-glycine separately.Cocoa powder
What it is: An organic plant ingredient.
Role in the formula: It provides the main flavour, colour and body of the drink. It is the second ingredient in the list, so it is more than a trace flavouring.
Characteristics: It is one of the product’s certified organic ingredients.Vegan L-proline
What it is: An amino acid.
Role in the formula: Together with glycine and hydroxyproline, it is one of the amino acids typical of collagen protein. In this blend, it makes up the second-largest part of the amino acid profile.
Amount: The manufacturer currently states only a total of 5 g of fermented amino acids per serving; the product page text does not state the amount of L-proline separately.Vegan L-hydroxyproline
What it is: An amino acid.
Role in the formula: An amino acid characteristic of collagen. Its inclusion distinguishes the formula from a standard amino acid blend, but the product does not contain actual collagen.
Amount: The manufacturer currently states only a total of 5 g of fermented amino acids per serving; the product page text does not state the amount of this amino acid separately.Vegan L-glutamine
What it is: An amino acid.
Role in the formula: An additional amino acid in the overall profile. Unlike glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, it has no specific stated role in the formula relating to collagen.
Amount: The manufacturer currently states only a total of 5 g of fermented amino acids per serving; the product page text does not state the amount of this amino acid separately.Natural flavouring (chocolate)
What it is: A natural flavouring ingredient.
Role in the formula: It complements the cocoa flavour and helps soften the pronounced natural taste of free amino acids.
Use: The flavour works well in plant-based drinks and smoothies.Vitamin C
What it is: Vitamin in the form of magnesium ascorbate.
Role in the formula: Included in the formula as magnesium ascorbate. The manufacturer’s current information does not state the amount of vitamin C per serving.
Amount: Vitamin C forms part of the current formula; the manufacturer does not state its separate amount in mg in the product page text.Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM)
What it is: A sulphur-containing compound.
Role in the formula: It forms a separate part of the accompanying formula outside the stated 5 g of fermented amino acids.
Amount: The current product page text does not state the separate amount of MSM per serving.Gotu kola root powder
What it is: An organic herbal ingredient.
Role in the formula: This is a root powder rather than a concentrated extract. The manufacturer’s current text does not state standardisation for specific active constituents.
Amount: The current product page text does not state the separate amount of gotu kola per serving.Rosehip fruit extract
What it is: A concentrated plant extract 20:1.
Role in the formula: The manufacturer lists it as rosehip fruit extract at a ratio of 20 : 1. The current product page text does not state its amount or a separate vitamin C content for this extract.
Amount: The manufacturer does not state the separate amount of rosehip extract per serving in the current page text.Pomegranate seed extract
What it is: A concentrated plant extract from pomegranate seeds at a ratio of 45 : 1.
Role in the formula: A concentrated extract included in the current ingredients list. The manufacturer’s current text no longer states standardisation for ellagic acid.

What it is: A plant extract standardised to 75 % silica.
Role in the formula: The manufacturer lists bamboo extract standardised to 75 % silica. The current page text does not state the separate amount of the extract per serving.
Amount: The current product page text does not state the separate amount of bamboo extract or silica in mg.Vegan L-lysine
What it is: An essential amino acid.
Role in the formula: The fifth and least abundant amino acid in the blend. It completes the overall profile of five fermented amino acids.

Who is behind Planet Paleo
Behind the Planet Paleo brand is Ben Shouler, a British nutritional therapist and naturopath who has long been working with natural medicine and functional nutrition. He founded the brand to bring clean, ethically sourced collagens to the market, based on the principles of a modern paleo lifestyle.
Together with a team of experts in nutrition and sustainable sourcing, he oversees grass-fed farming, ingredient quality and the transparent formulations of all products. The goal of Planet Paleo is to offer practical collagen nutrition for everyday life that respects people, animals and the planet.
Ethical collagen sourcing at Planet Paleo
Planet Paleo builds its sustainability on ethical collagen sourcing – their bovine collagen comes from grass-fed and pasture-raised herds, where cattle graze freely on natural pastures and are not fed industrial feed or exposed to growth hormones or routine antibiotics.
Their organic bone broths are made from high-quality beef herds on ecological farms in Scandinavia, certified according to the strict standards of Soil Association and KRAV, which emphasise soil health, animal welfare and a minimal environmental footprint.
Marine collagen from Planet Paleo is sourced from wild-caught white fish from fisheries that meet MSC standards for sustainable management of marine resources, with care for both ecosystems and biodiversity.
Sustainable packaging and comprehensive certifications
The brand also approaches sustainability “from source to packaging” – all Planet Paleo pouches are fully home-compostable, including the closure, and are made from paper, cellulose and corn starch sourced from responsibly managed FSC forests.
Planet Paleo boasts one of the broadest sets of certifications in Europe: LIAF Grass Fed for verified grass-fed farming, Soil Association Organic for organic agriculture, MSC for sustainable fishing and Halal certification across their bovine, marine, bone broth and vegan collagens.
This means customers receive collagen that is not only high-quality and clean, but also maximally transparent in terms of origin, ethics and environmental impact.
What inspired Ben Shouler to found Planet Paleo
Ben Shouler, the founder of Planet Paleo, started out as a nutritional therapist and naturopath who faced his own health challenges and, through personal experience, discovered the power of natural medicine and collagen.
In his clinical practice he saw that the market lacked clean, ethically sourced collagen powders from grass-fed herds that would reflect a modern “paleo” approach while still being easy to use in a busy everyday life.
So in 2016 he founded Planet Paleo and brought together nutrition, herbal medicine and collagen in a coherent range of products that is now one of the most extensive in Europe.
Connection with Mushrooms For Life and Botanicals For Life at PraveBio
Together with Graham Botfield, Ben Shouler is also behind Mushrooms For Life and Botanicals For Life – the former focuses on organic medicinal mushrooms from carefully selected growers, the latter on highly concentrated herbal tinctures with high bioavailability.
With Mushrooms For Life, the Ben & Graham duo builds on the work of founder Martin Powell and oversees the quality of extracts from traditionally used mushrooms, while with Botanicals For Life they develop tincture formulas that are free from sugar and alcohol, based on gentle extraction and clean ingredients.
On PraveBio you will therefore find not only Planet Paleo collagens but also Mushrooms For Life (e.g. Myco-Zen, Reishi, Lion’s Mane) and Botanicals For Life (herbal tinctures), all sharing the same values: clean ingredients, functional formulations and respect for the traditions of natural medicine.
Planet Paleo – next-generation collagen nutrition
Bringing collagen and broths back into the modern diet
Planet Paleo was created in response to the lack of truly high-quality collagen products in Europe – founder Ben Shouler, a naturopath and nutrition expert, wanted to bring collagen and bone broths back into everyday eating in a format that fits the pace of modern life.
By combining paleo principles, functional nutrition and botanicals, he has created one of the most extensive collagen supplement ranges in Europe – from pure bovine and marine collagens to complex blends with minerals, vitamins and herbs.
Connection with Mushrooms For Life and Botanicals For Life
The same team is also behind Mushrooms For Life and Botanicals For Life, which you will also find at PraveBio – together they create a coherent world of functional nutrition built on medicinal mushrooms, herbal extracts and collagen.
Mushrooms For Life builds on the work of Martin Powell and offers certified organic mushrooms grown in line with traditional Chinese medicine principles, while Botanicals For Life expands the range of high-quality herbal supplements with a focus on clean sourcing and high bioavailability.
This allows Planet Paleo collagen to naturally complement Mushrooms For Life and Botanicals For Life – together they form a well-thought-out system that supports nutrition, vitality and long-term sustainability in a way that aligns with the PraveBio philosophy.
Planet Paleo’s growth – a vision for the future
Looking ahead, Planet Paleo is focusing on further expanding its range of sustainably sourced collagens and bone broths, including new formulations that respond to the needs of modern customers – from active lifestyles to supporting recovery and vitality.
The brand aims to continue strengthening transparency, ethical sourcing and low-impact packaging, deepen its collaboration with partner brands Mushrooms For Life and Botanicals For Life, and educate people on how collagen, mushrooms and herbs can form a practical and sustainable foundation for everyday self-care.
Planet Paleo is built on the idea of bringing collagen and traditional broths back into the modern diet in the form of clean, ethically sourced and functionally designed supplements that respect people, animals and the planet.
