THE FIRST VEGETABLE COLLAGEN(VC-H1®) RECOGNISED WORLDWIDE
SIAL Paris is a global food fair held every two years in Paris, France, and is the world's largest food exhibition with more than 7,200 exhibitors from over 120 countries and 300,000 visitors from around the world.
The show's Innovation Awards recognise and reward innovative products that emphasise natural flavours, authenticity and honesty in 16 categories, and plant-based collagen became the first Korean company to win the Grand Prix in the ingredients category.
ANUGA SELECT JAPAN is a global food exhibition with 3,000 exhibitors and 50,000 attendees, held for the first time in Tokyo, Japan, the largest food battleground in East Asia. The show's Innovation Awards are presented in five categories, and in two of them, Innovative ingredient usage and Health and nutritional innovations, we won the Grand Prix for developing the world's first plant-derived technology and establishing a value chain by vertically integrating the entire process of the industry for the realisation of plant collagen.
VitaFoods Europe 2024, held in Geneva, Switzerland, is the world's leading nutraceutical exhibition, attracting more than 20,000 visitors each year with more than 1,000 pharmaceutical ingredients, functional ingredients and more.
The Vitafoods Startup Innovation Challenge saw over 20 startups shortlisted across three categories, with vegetable collagen being the first Korean finalist and competing in the Most Innovative Nutraceutical Ingredient category.
What is Collagen?
More than 30% of the body's protein is made up of collagen.
It is made up of three spirally intertwined fibres and is a component of many tissues in the body, including skin, bones, digestive system, muscles, tendons, and joints.
Getting enough collagen is essential for maintaining a healthier life.
VC-H1 developed with unique technology
Vegetable Collagen is a proprietary technology developed by professional researchers with 35 years of experience in collagen research that extracts extensin, a glycoprotein in the outer wall of plant cells, into a tripeptide structure, the smallest unit of collagen.
PLANT-LAB
It has been patented as the world's first plant-based collagen substitute food ingredient.
Vegetable Collagen has the same body processes as animal collagen, supplying proteoglucan, the precursor to collagen.
PLANT-LAB
It contains hydroxyproline, a marker of collagen, has an amino acid composition, and is supported by a review of its molecular weight, a key indicator of collagen absorption.
PLANT-LAB
VC-H1® shows the same experimental results as orally.
Vegetable Collagen(VC-H1®) Preclinical for Skin
Collagen content measurement
When collagen content was measured after VC-H1® administration, collagen content was found to increase.
Epidermis thickness measurement
As a result of measuring epidermal thickness after VC-H1® administration, it showed excellent reduction results even compared to the fish group.
Collagen is extracted by hydrolysis, and the smallest unit is a tripeptide structure of three amino acids.The individual amino acids that make up the tripeptide must be 100 Da and the tripeptide structure must be at least 300 Da. We hydrolysed the outer cell wall of a plant and made it 363Da, and we have the evidence to prove it.
Differences between common vegetable amino acid combinations and vegetable collagen VC-H1
This is why we say our product is the only plant-based collagen and the biggest difference from other products on the market. I'm sure you've seen plant-based collagen products online and in stores, but they're not real collagen. All other products marketed as plant-based collagen are simply a blend of individual amino acids found in plants. Consuming these individual amino acids does not synthesise them into collagen, and they are more likely to be absorbed as peptides than as free amino acids. It has been shown that intestinal transport of amino acids from many dipeptides and tripeptides is more rapid than from the equivalent amino acid mixtures.
