[Edaily Reporter Hyera Lee ] Newtree Co., Ltd.(270870)announced on the 3rd that it hosted a special session titled “Collagen Generator (GPH Collagen Tripeptide)” at the “2026 International Conference of the Korean Society of Food Science and Technology,” held the previous day at the Daejeon Convention Center (DCC), and presented the latest research findings on its proprietary ingredient, GPH structured low-molecular-weight collagen peptides.

During this session, the company presented research findings on the cellular-level mechanisms of action and in vivo absorption characteristics of GPH collagen, as well as its effects on skin and hair health. The company explained that it highlighted the potential of GPH collagen as a “collagen generator” that induces collagen production and shared research directions for next-generation functional collagen.
Professor Ryu Moon-sun of Yonsei University announced that specific peptides in the GPH structure were confirmed to have physiological activity, such as inducing the maintenance and reorganization of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in skin fibroblasts.
Park Mi-young, CEO of Yukon Solution, presented the in vivo absorption characteristics of GPH collagen and the results of human clinical trials related to skin and hair. Research results showed that GPH-structured collagen exhibited a maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) approximately 55 times higher and an area under the curve (AUC) approximately 54 times higher than conventional collagen. Human clinical trials confirmed improvements in dermal density, facial lifting, and hair luster, elasticity, and thickness.
Professor Lee Dong-woo of Yonsei University presented research findings indicating that functional peptides may contribute to creating a scalp environment conducive to hair growth by activating hair follicle cells and promoting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant responses, and proposed a direction for scalp and hair care that integrates the microbiome with functional peptides.
A representative of Newtree Co., Ltd. stated, “Through this academic conference, we introduced the absorption characteristics of GPH collagen and its mechanisms of action related to skin and hair health,” adding, “We plan to continue expanding our research on functional inner beauty based on scientific evidence.”
