Dr. Peter Köppel is a biochemist and immunologist. He studied biochemistry and immunology at the renowned University of Zurich, where he also earned his doctorate. He has been researching nucleotides since 1988. At Vegana Natura, he is involved in the development of nucleotide products, including Colon & Cell, Immun & Cell, Nukleopure, and others.
Vegana Natura’s expertise is backed by a wealth of scientific knowledge. As specialists in innovative and bioavailable nutrient concepts, we draw on the many years of work by Dr. Peter Köppel, a biochemist and nucleotide researcher who is one of the world’s leading experts and pioneers in the field of nucleotide research and nutritional medicine.
Through his pioneering work in the field of nucleotide research—including more than 400 feeding studies with nucleotides in various animal species at a Swiss laboratory—as well as in the area of product development using single-cell-selected nucleotides, Dr. Peter Köppel has laid the foundation for harness the immense potential of dietary nucleotides for the immune system, gut health, and cellular regeneration in humans. Vegana Natura combines these scientific findings in premium, natural, and purely plant-based formulations.
Recommendations from Dr. Peter Köppel
For Your Gut Health & Microbiome Regeneration: Colon Cell + Nucleotides
For Your Immune System & Cell Division Rate: Immun Cell + Nucleotides
For muscle building and energy during sports: NukleoMAP13
For Longevity and Healthy Aging: NukleoPURE
True innovation arises where scientific excellence meets uncompromising purity. Vegana Natura has always stood for first-class, plant-based nutritional concepts. To take the biological revolution in cell regeneration to the next level, we have joined forces with the industry’s leading expert.
Vegana Natura sees itself not only as a provider of dietary supplements, but also as a leading specialist in evidence-based cellular health.
’s science-based product development and its generally successful collaboration with Dr. Peter Köppel in product development secure Vegana Natura’s status as a true pioneer in the market. New product combinations featuring nucleotides and a unique line of nucleotide-based cosmetics highlight this pioneering status. Together, we have made the leap from theoretical basic research to practical application. The result is a symbiosis that offers our customers a measurable, biochemical advantage for their health. Key achievements of the collaboration:
We produce the individually selected nucleotides used in our dietary supplements exclusively in Switzerland. Numerous studies have shown that there is a diet-related imbalance between pyrimidines and purines. We have taken this into account in our product development; we primarily use pyrimidine nucleotides in our products. **
Dr. Peter Köppel Biochemist & Immunologist, Nucleotide Researcher — Developer of the formula for single-cell-selected nucleotides
Dr. Peter Köppel is a biochemist and immunologist from Switzerland who has been conducting research on nucleotides for over 30 years.
Dr. Peter Köppel is regarded as a leading authority due to his decades of pioneering research at the intersection of biochemistry and immunology. Through his doctoral studies at the University of Zurich and his subsequent specialization in enteral nucleotide delivery, he laid the scientific foundation for how dietary nucleotides can be used to regenerate the intestinal barrier and strengthen the cellular immune response in humans.
He is involved in the development of nucleotide products, such as Colon & Cell, Immun & Cell, NukleoPURE, NukleoSportsPRO, and NukleoMAP.
The five nucleotides—AMP, GMP, CMP, UMP, and IMP—are extracted from yeast, processed individually, and then mixed in a specific ratio, unlike an unseparated yeast extract. Dr. Peter Köppel has researched the ideal composition of these individual molecules. Read more about this in the scientific article.
