About Vital Proteins

Vital Proteins was founded in 2013 by Kurt Seidensticker after a knee injury limited his ability to exercise. Seeking solutions for joint health, Seidensticker discovered the benefits of collagen and was inspired to make it more accessible. He launched Vital Proteins to provide high-quality collagen products aimed at improving wellness from within.

Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Vital Proteins is driven by the belief that true wellness starts from within. Their mission is to inspire healthy living by making nutritious food that empowers people to feel their best. They are committed to sourcing premium ingredients and upholding the highest quality standards.

Vital Proteins offers a variety of collagen products including supplements, protein powders, and food items. Their collagen peptides support hair, skin, nails, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. They also offer solutions for gut health, immunity, sleep, relaxation, and more. Key differentiators are grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine sources and third-party quality testing.

As a leader in the wellness industry, Vital Proteins has won awards from Delicious Living, MindBodyGreen, Whole Foods Magazine, and more. They are Whole30 approved and certified by the Paleo Foundation and the Sugar-Conscious Coach. Vital Proteins continues Kurt Seidensticker's mission to help people live more vibrant lives through the power of collagen.
