Background Collagen, a key protein in the body maintains hair, skin and bone health and its production tends to decrease in synthesis as humans age. The demand for vegan collagen‐builder has increased worldwide due to increased adaptability to vegan diet. Objective This clinical study was designed aim to evaluate the safety and efficacy of vegan collagen builder (VEGCOL™️) at different dosages (2.5, 5, and 10 g) in adult participants. Methods Total 66 subjects (22 subjects/dose) aged 30 to 50 years were enrolled, and 63 subjects completed the study. Duration of study was 60 days. Evaluations included change in skin elasticity, hydration, crow's feet area wrinkles, fine lines, skin, Glogau skin age, change in pain scale score, muscle strength and subject perception assessment about test treatment use. Results After 60 days of treatment, there was significant improvement in hair growth rate by 45.01%, 38.54% and 50.37% with p < 0.01 for doses 2.5, 5, and 10 g respectively. Additionally, 19.64% ( p < 0.0001) and 20.51% ( p < 0.0001) increase in hair density and hair thickness respectively was observed with 10 g dose. 2.5 g dose resulted in 33.03% ( p < 0.01) increase in skin smoothness and 49.94% ( p < 0.0001) decrease in crow's feet area wrinkles, decreased retraction time by 21.71 milliseconds ( p < 0.05). 52.54% reduction in pain score ( p < 0.001). No any adverse events were reported. Conclusion Vegan collagen‐builder effectively improved multiple age‐related concerns such as wrinkles, fine lines, joint pain, muscle strength and hair growth. All respondents perceived the product as beneficial in improving the aesthetics of the skin, hair, and nails. The findings support the use of vegan collagen‐builder as safe and efficacious in promoting healthier skin, stronger muscles, and improved hair and nail conditions.
