Improve Skin Elasticity

You’re probably familiar with the claims about collagen’s magical anti-aging properties for your skin health.
But what does the research say?

In one recent study, scientists wanted to see how collagen would affect collagen peptides found in the skin. The study observed 69 women between the ages of 35 and 55 for eight weeks. Women who took a collagen supplement showed noticeable differences in skin elasticity compared to women who took a placebo.

What’s even more interesting is the older women in the collagen group actually experienced more noticeable improvements, possibly because collagen production decreases with age, leaving greater room for improvement. Another study found that oral supplementation with collagen improved skin hydration levels in just eight weeks[*].

​Here’s an important finding to note: Researchers discovered the changes in the participants’ skin only when hydrolyzed collagen was consumed[*]. Why? When this form of collagen is ingested, it’s immediately absorbed by your gut and is sent straight to your joints and skin through the highway that is your bloodstream.

Say Goodbye to Brittle, Broken Nails

In one study, 25 participants were given one 2.5-gram dose of collagen peptide each day for 24 weeks.
Here’s what they found:

•  12 percent increase in nail growth

• 42 percent drop in broken nails

• 64 percent overall improvement in formerly brittle nails

Plus, 88 percent of the participants also reported these positive changes
were visible in as little as four weeks!

Prevent and Help Treat Heart Disease

Collagen may help lower your cholesterol and prevent against heart disease. During one study, participants were given collagen twice a day for six months to see if it helped prevent against the buildup of plaque in their arteries. Collagen did help to prevent buildup of plaque in the arteries.

Heal Leaky Gut Syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome (or IBS) and leaky gut syndrome are two painful conditions where the digestive tract and stomach lining become inflamed and irritated. IBS can be triggered by stress, poor diet, prescription medications, too much alcohol and a sedentary lifestyle.

​This negatively impacts your digestive health, causing uncomfortable side effects like bloating, fatigue, upset stomach, diarrhea, constipation and malnutrition. Rather than being absorbed, vitamins and minerals pass right through your system.

​The Bio availability of collagen, means your body can quickly absorb and use the protein and other vitamins, minerals and important amino acids (the building blocks of protein) that come with the Collagen.

L Ca­rnosine

One study showed L carnosine was the only antioxidant to significantly protect cellular chromosomes from oxidative damage. Antioxidants cannot completely protect proteins. Nature’s second line of defense is to repair or remove damaged proteins. This is where L carnosine demonstrates its most profound anti-aging effect.

L Carnosine extends cellular life span

Our bodies are comprised of cells that replace themselves by dividing. There is a genetic limit as to how many times our cells will continue to replicate themselves via healthy division processes. Once enough cells reach their genetic reproductive limit, the organism (our body) is no longer able to sustain life functions and succumbs to disease or death. When scientists transferred late-passage fibroblasts (a type of skin cell) to a culture medium containing L carnosine, they exhibited a rejuvenated appearance and often an enhanced capacity to divide. The L carnosine medium increased life span, even for old cells. Cells transferred to the L carnosine medium attained a life span of

413 days, compared to 126 to 139 days for the control cells.

​This study showed that L carnosine induced a remarkable 67% increase in cellular life span. These aged cells also grew in the characteristic patterns of young cells and resumed a uniform appearance in the presence of L carnosine. Some researchers propose that L carnosine may rejuvenate cells by reducing the formation of abnormal proteins, or by stimulating the removal of old proteins

Co enzyme Q10

Co enzyme Q10 is an antioxidant, which is a type of enzyme that protects the cells in your body from damage. This damage includes. the skin’s inability to produce collagen, which leads to skin firmness and elasticity, results in sagging and wrinkles.

Here are the skincare benefits of Co enzyme Q10…

1. It energizes your skin. Young skin has ample amounts of CoQ10 and so has lots of energy –
   energy needed to repair damage and make sure the skin cells are healthy.

2. It protects against photo-aging – that means premature aging due to over exposing the skin to the sun. The sun is the fastest skin ager.

3. It rejuvenates skin by stimulating skin cell activity. Active skin cells get rid of toxins easily and can make better use of nutrients. When your skin ages, all these processes slow down, causing dull, sallow and wrinkled skin. Boost your skin cell activity for younger looking skin with CoQ10.

4. It stimulates collagen production. Collagen is the protein that decreases as we age, leading to wrinkles and leathery skin. Helping you make more collagen, CoQ10 is a skin saving essential.
   It is a potent anti-oxidant that acts against oxidative damage. This damage is done by, for example:

UV rays of the sun, pollution, toxins, stress. And this damage all leads to one thing:   premature aging that shows up on the skin. Anti-oxidants like CoQ10 are the answer and have a critical role to
play in both the body and the skin.

Ascorbic acid

It is a potent antioxidant and skin-soothing agent that can improve the appearance of signs of aging. Ascorbic acid is also a powerhouse when mixed with other antioxidants such as co enzyme Q10, this leads to great benefits in evening out skin tone.

 It is a necessity in the formulation of Collagen. Without Vitamin C collagen production will keep on decreasing.
