Vital Proteins Collagen

[hollysmokes]

I know this product is listed on the W30 approved products page but I have heard some discussion regarding the addition of hyaluronic acid to the collagen supplement. The main question involves the source of the hyaluronic acid: possibly soy and/or wheat derived. I have attempted to contact the company to find the source. They don't "refuse" to disclose if but, after three rounds of repeating myself, they still haven't provided an answer. So, if this is true, and I've read that the issue came to light because people that are sensitive to wheat or soy have reacted to it, why is it still W30 approved? 

I thought, for sure, that this would have come up but I can't find it in any of my searches so I apologize if I'm repeating a question.

Hey there!  I've sent a note to HQ to see what they have to say

No response, I assume? From HQ or from Vital proteins?

Hi @hollysmokes, Whole30 HQ here, sorry that we didn't get this answer out to you quicker! Vital Proteins sources it from sodium hyaluronate which is a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in connective tissues such as cartilage. Hope that helps!
