next generation
collagen from
engineered fungi
Our human-like vegan collagen is pure, sustainable and ethical, for cosmetic, food, nutraceutical and biomedical applications.
Why collagen?
30% of the proteins in the human body
Clinically effective for skin, bone, cartilage, joint, hair and nail conditions.
A fast growing +11B$ billion market
The next generation of collagen is grown, not slaughtered.
Sustainable
-80% water usage, -95% land use, compared to livestock. Our engineered fungi can utilize agricultural waste streams as feedstock.
Vegan
Ethical animal-free and cruelty-free collagen and collagen peptides suitable for vegan, vegetarian, halal, kosher and Hindu diets.
Pure
Our fungi secretes monodispersive collagen, which is purified via simple filtering, without chemical interventions.
Scalable
Our fungi is engineered to express large amounts of protein, enabling economy of scale and steady supply.
One source, multiple applications.
Cosmetics
Topical creams, gels and serums, for better skin and hair texture, and moisture retention.
Food & Beverages
Functional food and beverages for gut health, satiety and metabolic benefits.
Nutraceuticals
Bioactive peptides as supplements for skin, nail, hair, gut, bone and joint health.
Biomedical
Wound dressings for tissue regeneration and quick hemostasis.
The NEXKOL™ deep-tech fungal platform is developed for industrial scale.
Strain engineering
We genetically modify our fungi to massively secrete human-like collagen.
Novel strain
Our special fungi strain is able to produce recombinant collagen at high yields.
Production by precision fermentation
Our proprietary precision fermentation and filtering processes enable collagen production at high-volumes and yields.
Multi-product synergies
Our fungi-based protein engineering platform allows for the flexible and efficient production of collagen and novel molecules.
