Vital Proteins® was founded in 2013 to help others lead a better life. The founder, Kurt Seidensticker, was an avid runner who suffered from knee pain that hampered his training. His search for a solution led him to incorporate collagen into his diet as a source of amino acids for protein synthesis.

His passion for health and fitness, and his ambition to help others improve their lives through integrated health solutions, formed the mission of Vital Proteins: to enable everyone to lead a full and vital life.
