VegCol® — Plant Peptides, the Vegan Alternative to Marine Collagen

Technically, collagen is a protein of animal origin. However, our VegCol® plant peptides are an innovative "pro-collagen" alternative. They provide the body with the exact amino acids (including hydroxyproline) needed to stimulate your own collagen synthesis, without any animal-derived ingredients.

The main difference lies in bioavailability. While many collagens have a high molecular weight, VegCol® has a very low molecular weight of 1000 Da (Daltons). This allows for much faster and more efficient absorption by the body compared to classic gelatins.

Clinical studies show visible benefits from a dose of 2.5 g per day. For skin beauty and hair radiance, initial results are generally observed after 4 to 8 weeks of regular use. For joint comfort, we recommend a 3-month course of treatment.

Hydroxyproline is the specific amino acid that stabilizes collagen structure in our bodies. Most plant proteins contain very little of it. Our plant peptides are naturally rich in hydroxyproline to perfectly mimic the amino acid profile of human collagen.

Yes. By providing the molecular building blocks necessary for the regeneration of connective tissues, VegCol® bioactive peptides support the flexibility and strength of joints, tendons, and ligaments, offering a comprehensive solution for athletes and seniors.

Pre-collagen is generally a mixture of synthetic amino acids (glycine, proline, ...), hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C, whose composition is similar to that of collagen. Its effectiveness remains to be demonstrated.

VEGCOL® pro-collagen is a plant-based protein composed of low molecular weight bioactive peptides (1,000 Daltons). Its amino acid profile is identical to that of animal collagen, rich in hydroxyproline and not just proline.

Clinical Study Results (Revitalizing skin, hair, nails, and muscles: Unlocking beauty and wellness with vegan collagen, Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024) on VEGCOL™ for skin, hair, nails, and muscles at 2.5 g/day for 60 days.

SKIN:
All doses significantly improve skin. Small doses (2.5–5 g) are sufficient for firmness, hydration, and wrinkle reduction, while the highest dose (10 g) slightly accentuates effects on elasticity and suppleness.

Crow's feet wrinkles: −49.9%
Improved softness: +33%
Hydration: +25.8%
Reduced roughness and dryness: −52%

HAIR:
VEGCOL™ strengthens hair, limits hair loss, and accelerates growth. 2.5 g and 10 g show a better overall impact, with the 5 g dose yielding very good results on thickness.

Hair loss: −42%
Density: +17%
Thickness: +22%
Growth: +45%

NAILS:
All doses strengthen nails and reduce breakage, with a more visible effect at 5 g and 10 g.

Reduced ridges and splitting, smoother surface.

MUSCLES & JOINTS:
VEGCOL™ significantly improves muscle strength and reduces joint pain. Doses of 5 g and 10 g are particularly effective for strength and recovery, with the 10 g dose showing maximum effect on pain.

Push-ups: +65%
Grip strength: +27%
Plank hold: +78%
Joint pain: −47%

CONCLUSION:

2.5 g/day of Pro-Collagen VEGCOL™ is a very effective dose for skin and hair, with good support for nails and muscles.

VEGCOL® pro-collagen is a plant-based protein in the form of bioactive peptides, whose amino acid profile faithfully reproduces that of animal collagen.
Its manufacturing relies on a gentle extraction process and controlled enzymatic hydrolysis. This begins with the rigorous selection of broccoli (Brassica oleracea) and carrots (Daucus carota), which undergo high-precision aqueous extraction, without the use of chemical solvents, and in strict adherence to temperature and pH curves.
Specific enzymatic hydrolysis is then performed, yielding highly absorbable bioactive peptides with a structure and aminogram comparable to those of type I and III collagen.
