Successful commercialization of the nation's first product with quadruple functionality for skin improvement, joint health, and more
Nutri Evercollagen
Nutri, a company specializing in health functional foods, announced on the 23rd that the main ingredient of Evercollagen, low-molecular-weight collagen peptide (No. 2023-14), has been additionally recognized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for its functionality in improving hair gloss and elasticity.
The low-molecular-weight collagen peptide is a uniquely developed ingredient by Nutri, which has independently participated in the research and development of the ingredient, holding proprietary functional collagen material. With this additional certification, it has secured efficacy in improving skin, joint health, and now hair gloss and elasticity, establishing itself as the first quadruple-functional collagen ingredient recognized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in South Korea.
Nutri reported that it has proven the 'hair health improvement effect' of low-molecular-weight collagen peptide through in vitro, animal, and human application tests. In a human application test conducted by a specialized clinical institution on 74 adult men and women aged 19 to 60 with mildly to severely damaged hair, significant effects were confirmed in hair gloss, elasticity improvement, participant satisfaction, and hair density when 3,000mg of low-molecular-weight collagen peptide was consumed once daily.
A Nutri representative stated, “Collagen is generally known to be good for the skin, but it is actually an essential component distributed throughout the body, including the skin, scalp, hair, joints, and bones.” They added, “Through this human application test, we confirmed that low-molecular-weight collagen peptide can also help maintain hair health, and by obtaining new hair functionality from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, we have secured differentiation as the first quadruple collagen ingredient in the country.”
The representative continued, “We plan to launch a new product in the first half of next year that can manage both skin and hair at once. We will continue to develop various functional ingredients and products that can contribute to overall body health, including collagen.”
