Here at ProTec Nutra, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our products—Vollagen®, Vitamin D3V®, Phytodroitin® and EirVit®—are made with a commitment to eco-friendly practices and ingredients.
Vollagen® is a 100% plant-based collagen alternative produced using a proprietary, multistep fermentation and microencapsulation process with a starting material of non-GMO Corn Starch. Non-GMO farming practices help maintain biodiversity and reduce the chemical load on the environment. It matches the 16 amino acids of human collagen in the same proportions. The fermentation process allows us to obtain the exact combination and ratio of amino acids that we desire. Ideal for vegans and vegetarians. it supports skin, hair, and nail health, with clinical studies showing improvements in skin brightness, radiance, and hair health in just 8 weeks.
Collagen is traditionally sourced from connective tissue from animals such as cows, pigs, and fish. This raises issues of animal welfare and environmental degradation, which can also contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Vegan alternative collagen also requires less land, water, and resources than traditional animal farming, reducing our environmental footprint.
Vitamin D3V® is a sustainable, 100% plant-based Vitamin D3 sourced from algae. Unlike traditional sources like sheep’s wool, our process uses zero pesticides, ensuring that Vitamin D3V® is free from residual pesticides and contaminants. This makes it an ideal choice for vegans and vegetarians. Additionally, being plant-based allows us to reduce our carbon footprint and save in areas such as traditional farming spaces.
Our Vitamin D3 is manufactured in the UK, which means we’re not contributing to the environmental impact of transporting goods across the world, unlike many other sources made in China. Vitamin D3V® is environmentally friendly and fully traceable. It is also about 87% more effective than Vitamin D2 in raising Vitamin D levels.
Certified by the Vegan Society, Kosher, Vitamin D3V® is suitable for supplements, fortified foods, and pet nutrition. This makes it an excellent choice for those at risk of Vitamin D deficiency, including infants, the elderly, vegans, and people with limited sun exposure.
Phytodroitin® is a plant-based joint health supplement that supports joint function and mobility. Traditional Chondroitin, commonly sourced from sharks, has long been used in supplements to support joint health. However, this traditional method of extraction raises significant sustainability and ethical concerns, prompting the search for more environmentally friendly alternatives.
Phytodroitin® is vegan-friendly and sustainably harvested. It ensures complete sustainability, quality, and purity. Phytodroitin® is a smart choice for those seeking effective joint support while prioritising sustainability.
Unlike shark extraction, which contributes to overfishing, biodiversity loss, and ethical concerns regarding animal welfare, algae cultivation is a renewable and a more environmentally friendly practice. It supports marine conservation, has a lower carbon footprint, and can be scaled efficiently to meet demand. Additionally, algae farming boosts local economies and ensures a safer, vegan-friendly product with consistent quality. Phytodroitin® promotes sustainability and ethical practices.
EirVit® is a supplement designed to support overall vitality and well-being. Crafted with plant-based ingredients, it promotes health and vitality while prioritising sustainability. Unlike traditional supplements, EirVit® is vegan-friendly and responsibly sourced from pine bark, meeting high standards for effectiveness and environmental responsibility. EirVit® is cultivated and this commitment to sustainability makes EirVit® an excellent choice for those wanting to support their health while making eco-conscious decisions.
