VITA GEN as a Plant-Based Alternative in the Beauty Sector

Veganism continues to be a megatrend, inspiring consumers worldwide to choose products derived from plant-based sources. The demand for vegan products is steadily increasing, and the beauty and health industries are no exception. However, when it comes to collagen products that firm the skin and stabilize joints, suppliers face limitations because collagen in nature exists only in animal form. Often, fish scales, pig bristles, or other by-products from industrial animal farming are used. VITA GEN, on the other hand, offers a plant-based alternative built on sustainable and ethical principles. This innovation is aimed at environmentally conscious consumers who want the benefits of collagen but wish to avoid animal-derived ingredients and harmful environmental impacts.

Why Collagen Is Crucial for a Youthful Appearance

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and plays a key role in the firmness and elasticity of connective tissues such as skin, bones, or tendons. It provides tissues with elasticity and resilience, making it essential for healthy, youthful skin and the stability of joints and bones. Unfortunately, collagen production decreases with age, which is often the root cause of wrinkles or joint problems. Furthermore, factors like diet, environmental toxins, UV radiation, smoking, and aging itself can affect collagen production. It makes sense, therefore, to support the body in this critical process.

How Collagen Is Produced in the Body

Collagen is primarily composed of three amino acids: glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, and is produced in the fibroblasts of connective tissues. A range of co-factors, including vitamin C, copper, zinc, and silicon, also play a crucial role. Only when all the conditions for successful collagen synthesis are met can high-quality collagen be produced, ensuring the strength and stability of skin, cartilage, and other tissues.

The Body Just Needs the Right Collagen Building Blocks

For the body, it doesn’t matter where these three key amino acids come from. Nutritionally, it makes no difference whether the body gets them from animal or plant-based sources, as long as they are available in sufficient amounts. However, it's important to understand that collagen-producing fibroblasts cannot directly convert animal collagen into human collagen. Like all other proteins, collagen must first be broken down into individual amino acids through digestion. Only in this form can the body absorb them and use them to build its own structures.

VITA GEN Doesn’t Require Hydrolysis

Today, many people suffer from impaired digestion, making it difficult for them to efficiently break down proteins into amino acids. Manufacturers have responded to this by pre-processing animal collagen through an expensive procedure called hydrolysis, breaking it down into smaller collagen peptides. A much more effective approach is to provide amino acids in their free form, as individual building blocks. This way, they enter the bloodstream more quickly and can be used immediately to build essential structures. VITA GEN harnesses this insight and provides a direct solution.

A Revolution in Natural Beauty Care

The development of VITA GEN uses scientific advancements in biotechnology. The product is based on a special fermentation process that specifically produces plant-based amino acids. These are immediately available to the body as high-quality building blocks in large quantities, without unnecessary intermediaries. VITA GEN offers a plant-based, ethical, and environmentally friendly alternative, and also includes a comprehensive combination of co-factors in the form of extracts, vitamins, and minerals to effectively support the development of connective tissues.
