Mechanisms of Aging Skin

Skin aging is a complex biological process. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), produced by internal and external factors, play a significant role in the aging process by causing structural and physiological alterations in each skin layer. One of the primary changes is a decrease in collagen and elastin production, leading to sagging, fine lines, wrinkles, and thinning of the skin.^[2]

Collagen Beauty: Supports Collagen Production and Skin Tissues

Collagen Beauty contains a generous 2,500 mg serving of VERISOL® Collagen Peptides, a key component of healthy skin that contributes to its strength, elasticity, and structure. By providing ample daily collagen, new collagen synthesis is supported, and skin health can thrive. Vitamin C and Vitamin A are also included, as they are essential for collagen formation and maintenance of epithelial tissues in the skin.^[3]

Clinically Proven VERISOL®

VERISOL® Collagen has been clinically shown to benefit the health of the skin in several ways:

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles: A double-blind placebo-controlled study with 114 women showed that daily supplementation with VERISOL® Collagen (2,500 mg/day) significantly reduced eye wrinkles volume after 4 weeks and 8 weeks. It also increased skin procollagen concentration, the precursor of collagen.^[4]
• Improves skin elasticity: Clinical research demonstrated that VERISOL® (2,500 mg/day) leads to significantly higher skin elasticity compared to placebo treatment, with effects lasting up to 8 weeks.^[5]
• May improve skin appearance of cellulite: VERISOL® has been clinically shown to improve dermal density in the skin and significantly decrease the degree of cellulite. Results were visible after 3 months.^[6]

Nutritional Support for Radiant Beauty

Biotin (Vitamin B7) is included in Collagen Beauty as it has been linked to improved skin conditions and helps with hair loss and brittle nails. Emerging research suggests that VERISOL® may also support nail health and improve nail growth.^[7,8]

Antioxidant Power

The formula includes antioxidants like Vitamin C, CoQ10, Pomegranate extract, and Resveratrol to prevent and repair damage caused by age, sunlight, and toxins.

Nourishing Omega Oils

Collagen Beauty contains Coconut Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, and Moroccan Argan Oil, providing additional nourishment. Evening Primrose Oil contains gamma-linolenic acid, which benefits skin conditions.^[10]

Summary

Collagen Beauty delivers nourishment for the skin and nails, including VERISOL® Collagen Peptides, Biotin, antioxidants, and a variety of nourishing omega oils. It can be used daily to improve skin appearance and strengthen nails.
