Reawaken your natural collagen biosynthesis
Your body knows how to make its own collagen. It just needs the right materials.
Collagen is not swallowed ready-made: it is assembled, continuously, by your own cells. Understanding this mechanism means understanding why it slows down with age, and how to support it.
SilverTech Favourite, Product Innovation category
Awarded by the jury on 14 September 2026 at the Palais des Festivals, Cannes.
The SilverEco Awards recognise solutions that improve daily life as we age. The jury selected GENESIS+ for its new approach to collagen.
GENESIS+ is the winner of the “SilverEco 2026 Favourite Solution” award, SilverTech Product Innovation category.The protein that holds everything together
The word collagen comes from the Greek kólla, “glue”. It is the most abundant protein in the body, accounting for around 30% of all our proteins.
It gives skin, cartilage, bones and connective tissues their structure, suppleness and firmness.
There is not just one collagen but several types, made by different cells depending on the tissue.
| Cells | Tissues | Collagen |
|---|---|---|
| Fibroblasts | Skin, ligaments | Types I and III |
| Chondrocytes | Cartilage | Type II |
| Tenocytes | Tendons | Type I |
| Osteoblasts | Bone | Type I |
| Smooth muscle cells | Blood vessels | Type III |
Why does collagen production decline?
The body makes collagen continuously, so production depends directly on the availability of its building blocks: amino acids.
However, from the age of 25 to 30, our body begins to reduce its collagen production, and this decline worsens over time. Our body gradually loses the ability to produce certain amino acids essential to collagen formation. As a result, it can no longer produce enough collagen to meet our needs.

of our proteins
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body.
amino acids
The number of amino acids that make up a single collagen molecule.
An assembly job, brick by brick
Biosynthesis simply means your own cells making collagen. They link thousands of amino acids into long chains, which then wind into a very strong triple helix: the collagen fibre.
With age, it is not the walls that are missing but the bricks: without enough material, production slows down.
Three amino acids recur constantly in this structure, far more than in most proteins:
And vitamin C?
Bricks alone are not enough: you also need the right tool. Vitamin C stabilises the chains by transforming proline and lysine (a step called hydroxylation), which is essential for strong fibres.
That is why vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation.
Animal collagen or amino acids: the real difference
The body never uses a protein as it is. Whether it is an egg, a steak or collagen, everything is first broken down into amino acids during digestion. Animal collagen that you swallow therefore does not turn into human collagen.
In both cases, your cells make the collagen. What changes is what you give them.
A long detour
- Ready-formed collagen (marine or bovine)
- Digestion, which costs energy
- Amino acids in the animal's proportions
- Biosynthesis
The right bricks, directly
- Targeted amino acids, cofactors and NAG
- Provided as they are, with no protein to digest
- A profile designed for the needs of cells

Give the body the materials, and let it do the rest
Five amino acids accounting for more than two thirds of the building blocks of collagens I, II and III.*
GENESIS+ brings together in a single formula what your cells use to produce collagen: the main building blocks, their cofactors, and what is needed to maintain the surrounding matrix.
The bricks
Glycine, proline and lysine, the most abundant amino acids in the structure of collagen.
Supporting amino acids
Glutamine and arginine, also present in collagens. Glutamine is also a precursor of proline.
The cofactors
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation; zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, nails and hair.
The matrix
N-acetylglucosamine, a component of the hyaluronic acid found around cells.
*Triple-helix regions, by number of residues; hydroxylated proline and lysine included. Calculated on human reference sequences. Source: UniProt.
Designed to be taken every day, effortlessly
Excellent dilution
Extra-soluble powder: one glass of water (250 ml) and it is ready, with no lumps.
Individual sachets
An exact dose every time, easy to take anywhere.
Natural pineapple flavour
Sweetened with stevia. More flavours coming soon.

Supporting your body over the years
Thanks to vitamin C and zinc, the GENESIS+ formula supports several recognised functions.
Joints
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage.
Skin
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin.
Hair and nails
Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and nails.

Your questions about GENESIS+
Is GENESIS+ a collagen?
No. GENESIS+ contains no collagen: it provides the amino acids your cells use to make it, plus vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation.
Why does it not contain marine or bovine collagen?
Because GENESIS+ targets the same biosynthesis by a more direct route. Animal collagen must first be digested to release its amino acids, whose profile depends on the source tissue. GENESIS+ directly provides the targeted amino acids and their cofactors. The formula is also 100% vegan.
Should I combine it with a collagen?
No, that is not necessary. GENESIS+ directly provides the amino acids and vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation.
Is GENESIS+ vegan?
Yes, 100% vegan: no ingredients of animal origin.
What does it taste like?
A natural pineapple flavour, sweetened with stevia. More flavours coming soon.
How do I take GENESIS+?
2 sachets a day: 1 sachet before a meal, twice a day. Dissolve the contents of one sachet in a large glass of water (250 ml).
How long does a course last?
A course usually lasts 1 to 3 months.
Does the formula contain controversial excipients?
No. GENESIS+ favours a short, readable formula focused on the active ingredients.
What is the seal on the box for?
It is a tamper-evident seal that closes the opening flap. If it is lifted or torn on delivery, please contact us on +33 1 82 28 00 28.
