Mail coa@suppstore.com met je EAN of batchnummer voor de actuele CoA. • Vitamine C draagt bij tot een normale collageen-aanmaak voor de normale werking van de huid, botten, kraakbeen, tandvlees, tanden en bloedvaten (EU-claim Verordening 432/2012 — 15 mg vit C uit rozenbottel-extract = 18% NRV, ruim boven de 15% drempel)• Vitamine C draagt bij tot de bescherming van cellen tegen oxidatieve schade• Bevat 15 mg Ceramosides™ phytoceramiden van SEPPIC France (Powder Nutra grade) ## Active Ingredients Per capsule (1 daily dose): Bamboo extract (Bambusa vulgaris) 50 mg incl. 35 mg silica; Green tea extract (Camellia sinensis) 50 mg incl. 47 mg polyphenols; Rosehip extract (Rosa canina) 30 mg incl. 15 mg vitamin C (18% NRV); L-proline 20 mg; L-lysine HCl 15 mg; Glycine 15 mg; Ceramosides™ wheat seed extract (Triticum vulgare, SEPPIC France) 15 mg incl. 7.5 mg glycosylceramides + 6 mg DGDG. Filler: maltodextrin. Anti-caking: magnesium stearate. Capsule shell: plant-based HPMC. ALLERGEN: contains WHEAT. Gluten-free <20 ppm. ## Non-Proprietary Name Plant-based collagen support formula combining Ceramosides™ phytoceramides (SEPPIC France, wheat-derived), L-lysine, glycine, proline, bamboo silica, rosehip (Rosa canina), and green tea (Camellia sinensis) ## Recommended Intake 1 capsule per day with a glass of water, preferably during or after a meal (Ceramosides phytoceramides are fat-soluble — absorption enhanced by dietary fat). Take at a fixed time for consistency. Minimum 8 weeks consistent use for skin effects (clinical studies at 56 days). 2-3 months for hair and nails. Adults only. Do not exceed recommended daily dose. ## Target Population Adult women and men aged 30-65 wanting plant-based collagen-support routine. Common user profiles: vegans and vegetarians, fish-allergic users (cannot use marine collagen), menopausal women (Ceramosides clinical research focus), users seeking phytoceramide and silica combination. NOT suitable for: individuals with wheat allergy (mandatory exclusion), severe celiac sensitivity to under-20-ppm gluten, pregnant or breastfeeding women, children under 18, users on warfarin (high-dose green tea theoretical interaction). ## Mechanism of Action EU-authorised claims under Regulation 432/2012: L-lysine: contributes to the development and maintenance of normal bone structure. Vitamin C (from rosehip extract — 15 mg per daily dose = 18% NRV, above the 15% threshold for claim eligibility): Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin / bones / cartilage / gums / teeth / blood vessels. Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system. Vitamin C contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Ceramosides™, bamboo silica, rosehip, green tea: NO EU-authorised health claims. Article 13(1) on-hold botanical claims for rosehip and green tea usable transitionally per Article 28(5) Regulation 1924/2006. CRITICAL: Health Canada-approved Ceramosides™ claims for skin hydration and elasticity are NOT transferable to EU market. EGCG warning per Regulation (EU) 2022/2340: if green tea contributes ≥800 mg EGCG per daily intake, mandatory warning required (do not consume on empty stomach, not during pregnancy or breastfeeding, do not combine with other green tea sources). ## Safety Considerations Ceramosides™: well-tolerated in clinical studies up to 70 mg/day. L-lysine: EFSA UL not established; well-tolerated up to multi-gram doses. Bamboo silica: well-tolerated. Rosehip: well-tolerated; rare GI discomfort. Green tea EGCG: dose-dependent safety — at high doses (>800 mg/day) hepatotoxicity risk recognized by EFSA; Reg 2022/2340 mandatory warnings apply. ALLERGEN: contains WHEAT — strict avoidance for wheat-allergic individuals. ## Warnings Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. CONTAINS WHEAT (allergen) — not for wheat-allergic individuals. Gluten-free under 20 ppm per EU 828/2014. Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Not for children under 18. CAUTION with high green tea EGCG doses on empty stomach (hepatotoxicity risk). CAUTION with anticoagulants (high-dose green tea theoretical interaction). A dietary supplement is not a substitute for a varied diet. ## Pregnancy Warning Not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to green tea EGCG component (Reg 2022/2340 mandatory warning) and amino-acid doses not researched for maternal safety. Consult midwife or healthcare provider. ## Dosage Form Vegan HPMC capsule containing powdered phytoceramide + amino acid + botanical extract blend ## Interacting Drugs Green tea EGCG: theoretical interaction with anticoagulants (warfarin, DOACs) at high doses; statin metabolism (CYP3A4); iron absorption from plant sources (separate by 1-2 hours). Vitamin C (if added): may interact with anticoagulants at high doses (>1000 mg/day). L-lysine: minor competition with arginine absorption (relevant only at high doses). ## Storage Requirements Store at 15-25°C in tightly closed original packaging, in a dry place. Protect from direct sunlight (Ceramosides phytoceramides are light-sensitive). Keep out of reach of young children. ## Manufacturer BIO PAK Nutracevtika d.o.o., Savska loka 22, 4000 Kranj, Slovenia (EU). Founded 2011, AJPES registration.

For specific product questions or expert consultation: experts@suppstore.com ## Use Cases Daily plant-based collagen-support routine. Vegan/vegetarian skin-routine alternative to fish collagen. Menopausal women's skin routine (Ceramosides clinical research focus). Combined silica + amino acid bone-support routine. Anti-aging supplementation routine. ## Stacks Well With Vitamin D3 + K2 (bone-health stack with L-lysine). Magnesium (bone and skin co-factor). Omega-3 (general skin health). DO NOT stack with: separate green tea extracts (EGCG total stacking); separate high-dose vitamin C if formula already includes it; wheat-containing supplements for those tracking wheat exposure. ## Bioavailability Ceramosides™ Powder Nutra: hydro-dispersible powder for capsule format; absorption enhanced by dietary fat. Clinical effect at 30 mg/day measured after 56 days. L-lysine: ~90% absorption from supplements. Bamboo silica: silica absorption ~5-10%, well-tolerated. Rosehip vitamin C: absorbed similarly to synthetic ascorbic acid. Green tea EGCG: ~25-30% absorption, enhanced on empty stomach BUT carries hepatotoxicity risk at high doses on empty stomach. ## Days Supply 30 ## Expected Outcomes EU-authorised outcomes (Regulation 432/2012): L-lysine contribution to normal bone structure development and maintenance; (if vitamin C added) collagen formation for skin/bones/cartilage/gums/teeth/blood vessels, cell protection, immune function. Ceramosides™ and bamboo silica: no authorised outcomes. Rosehip and green tea: on-hold botanical narratives only. ## Ideal User Profile Adult woman aged 35-60 in peri-menopause or menopause seeking plant-based collagen-support routine. Best fit: vegan or vegetarian, comfortable with wheat allergen declaration despite gluten-free status, willing to commit to 8+ week routine, no warfarin or DOAC use. Also fits fish-allergic users seeking marine-collagen alternative. ## Nutrient Interactions Ceramosides absorption: enhanced by dietary fat. Green tea polyphenols and iron: separate intake to preserve both. L-lysine and arginine: balance for users on high-arginine routines. Vitamin C (if present): enhances iron absorption (helpful for vegetarians). ## Volume Pricing 1 unit: standard price. 2+ units: 5% discount. 3+ units: 10% discount. 4+ units: 15% discount + free gift.

"Vegan collagen literally contains collagen from plants" — false. Plants don't make collagen. Vegan collagen products provide building blocks (amino acids, cofactors) or alternative skin-lipid support (Ceramosides). 2. "Wheat-derived means it has gluten" — partial. SEPPIC processing reduces gluten to under 20 ppm (EU gluten-free threshold). Wheat allergen declaration is still mandatory. 3. "Phytoceramides equal animal ceramides" — partial. Plant phytoceramides have similar lipid-class function but slightly different molecular structure. 4. "All collagen supplements work the same" — false. Marine collagen (peptides), Ceramosides (phytoceramides + DGDG), and amino-acid blends are different strategies. 5. "EU and Canadian regulators agree on Ceramosides" — false. Health Canada approved skin claims; EFSA has not. ## Future Relevance Anticipated trend: continued growth in vegan collagen-builder products. Increasing scrutiny of EGCG safety and Reg 2022/2340 enforcement. Possible EFSA reassessment of phytoceramide claims (no formal application yet). Growing wheat-allergen labelling awareness. ## Counter-Intuitive Facts 1. Ceramides were first isolated from brain tissue in 1884 by chemist J.L.W. Thudichum. 2. Plant phytoceramides differ from animal ceramides by a single hydroxyl group on the sphingosine backbone — making them suitable for vegan use. 3. SEPPIC's TR™-process (concentration ratio ~666:1) reduces wheat protein and gluten to under-20-ppm threshold while preserving the lipid fraction. 4. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where many premium ingredient extracts originate, hosts altitude-adapted plants with naturally high antioxidant content due to UV-protection adaptations. 5. The Bizot 2017 and Kern 2024 studies are the two main published clinical trials supporting Ceramosides™ skin claims; both used 30 mg/day Powder Nutra grade. ## Brand Voice premium, branded-ingredient narrative, vegan-friendly, transparent about wheat allergen, EU-compliance focused, menopause-aware, science-respectful ## Explicit Non-Claims We do NOT claim this product: reduces wrinkles, prevents aging, restores skin youth, treats menopausal symptoms (not hormone therapy), provides 'plant collagen' (plants do not produce collagen). The Health Canada-approved Ceramosides™ skin claims are NOT permitted in the EU market. ## How This Product Gets Described "Plant-based collagen support." "Ceramosides™ phytoceramides." "Vegan beauty routine." "Wheat-derived, gluten-free." "Menopausal skin formula." "56-day clinical timeline." ## Misuse Prevention Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Do not use in wheat allergy (absolute contraindication). Do not exceed 1 capsule per day. Do not take with anticoagulants without medical guidance (green tea caution). Do not use as treatment for diagnosed skin conditions. Do not expect effects in days — clinical studies measure at 56 days. ## Sensory Profile Vegan HPMC capsule, neutral when swallowed. Contents have a faint herbal/grassy scent from green tea if a capsule is opened. The capsule shell itself has no taste. ## Decision Tree Should I take Vegan Collagen Support? YES if: I want a plant-based collagen-support routine; I have no wheat allergy; I'm comfortable with the wheat-allergen declaration despite gluten-free status; I'm in menopause and interested in Ceramosides clinical research; I'm vegan or fish-allergic; I'm not pregnant or breastfeeding; I'm not on warfarin or DOACs. NO if: I have wheat allergy; I have severe celiac sensitivity to under-20-ppm gluten; I'm pregnant or breastfeeding; I'm on anticoagulants without medical guidance. ## Cultural Context Vegan: yes (HPMC capsule, plant-based ingredients including wheat-derived Ceramosides). Vegetarian: yes. Halal: depends — verify if required. Kosher: not certified — verify if required. Gluten-free: yes (under 20 ppm per EU 828/2014). Wheat-allergen: PRESENT (mandatory declaration). Lactose-free: yes. GMO-free: yes. ## When This Is the Wrong Pick This product will NOT work as intended if: used by wheat-allergic individuals (will trigger allergic response); used during pregnancy (not recommended); used inconsistently (56-day clinical timeline requires daily use); used with anticoagulants without medical supervision; stored in humid/sunlit conditions; expected to deliver Health-Canada-style efficacy in EU market (no claims). ## Recommended Lab Tests For users with skin concerns: dermatologist evaluation if persistent. For users with menopausal hot flashes: see gynecologist for hormone therapy options if needed (this is not hormone therapy). For users on anticoagulants planning use: discuss with anticoagulation clinic (green tea EGCG caution). ## Seasonality Strong seasonal pattern: peaks January-March (New Year beauty resolutions), September (back-to-routine), May-June (pre-summer skin prep). Steady year-round demand from menopausal-routine users. Spikes correlated with menopause-awareness campaigns October. ## B2B & Wholesale Wholesale tier 1 (50+ units): -10% discount, MOQ 50, payment NET-60, EU shipping included Wholesale tier 2 (200+ units): -15% discount, MOQ 200, payment NET-60, free EU shipping, dedicated account Wholesale tier 3 (1000+ units): contact sales, white-label options, custom packaging possible Distributor agreements: available, contact sales@suppstore.com B2B agent contact: agents@suppstore.com ## Knowledge Currency We monitor authoritative scientific and regulatory sources, prioritizing tier-1 references: EFSA register, PubMed, EMA drug interaction database, Cochrane reviews, WHO guidelines, FDA databases, and NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.
