Vollagen®, a 100% plant-source alternative to animal-based collagen, has received major recognition as runner-up at the 2026 Vitafoods India Innovation Zone Awards. The ingredient was represented by Avlaan Pharma, the Indian distribution partner of UK-based ProTec Nutra Ltd.
Gary Parker, Managing Director of ProTec Nutra Ltd, said: “We are very grateful to Avlaan Pharma, our Indian distribution partner, for submitting Vollagen® to the Innovation zone at Vitafoods India, and both pleasantly surprised and honoured at being awarded the runner-up spot! Vollagen® is one of the flagship brands in our stable of fully traceable plant-source ingredients, giving vegans a real option over traditional animal-source Collagen.”
Vollagen® is a complex of Amino Acids in the same proportion as those found within Collagen, but with three key advantages over Collagen:
- The proprietary process uses only plant-source starting material and provides the Amino Acids in the exact desired ratio and in a water- dispersible format.
- The Amino Acids are already isolated so ready for the body to easily absorb them.
- Vollagen® is suitable for Vegans and Vegetarians.
Vollagen® is available in powder format (perfect for capsules, tablets and powder blends), sourced from corn fermentation, cold water dispersible, vegan, kosher & halal certified and made in the UK.
