At proto-col, we believe in more than just beauty products or wellness supplements; we believe in the power of transformation. As we celebrate our 21st birthday this month, our journey stands as a testament to the lasting impact we've had in the world of holistic wellness. Established in 2003 by former Great Britain athlete James Greenwell, our journey began with a personal story of resilience, recovery, and a groundbreaking discovery that would change the landscape of holistic wellness forever.

James’s vision for proto-col was born from adversity. After suffering a potentially career-ending injury, he encountered the incredible benefits of collagen. This wasn't just any recovery story—it was the catalyst that ignited a mission to revolutionise how people think about health, beauty, and vitality. What began as a personal discovery became a shared vision for millions around the world. As James saw first-hand how collagen supported his healing and even enhanced his mother’s well-being, the idea for proto-col took shape. This wasn't just about overcoming injury; it was about empowering others to achieve a renewed sense of wellness, vitality, and confidence.

With limited resources but unwavering commitment, James embarked on a risky yet inspiring journey to establish proto-col as a brand. James remortgaged his home, maxed out credit cards, and borrowed money to fund the fledgling business. His early days were spent driving across the country, setting up at trade shows, and educating people about the power of collagen.

Despite the challenges, James’ passion for helping others fuelled proto-col’s growth. His personal belief in proto-col's product range and his desire to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives laid the foundation for what proto-col is today: a brand committed to promoting wellness from the inside out. Today, proto-col has grown from those humble beginnings into a globally recognised brand. We’ve become synonymous with quality, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to helping individuals transform their lives from within. From collagen supplements to advanced skincare solutions, proto-col is dedicated to empowering people to feel confident, healthy, and vibrant at every stage of life.

Reflecting on the past 21 years, proto-col’s mission remains clear: to empower people to feel confident, healthy, and vibrant. From the earliest product launches to today’s award-winning range, the heart of the brand still beats with the same desire that inspired James from the start—to make a genuine, positive impact on people’s lives.
