Gundry MD has released Phyto Collagen Complex, a plant-based collagen support formula developed by heart surgeon and gut-health expert Dr. Steven Gundry. The formula uses a patented blend called Vollagen, which contains all 18 amino acids required for collagen production, along with a collagen-supporting polyphenol blend and vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). Thus, the formula helps the body naturally build its own collagen and promotes "a stronger, more solid feeling throughout the body."
Gundry MD's Phyto Collagen Complex is lectin-free, sugar-free, soy-free, dairy-free, and free from artificial sweeteners. Customers have reported improvements in strength, joint comfort, flexibility, skin firmness, and overall resilience, with one 68-year-old user noting that after a few months, he could stand up from deep squats with much less effort.

Who This Affects Most
