Main Ingredients and Functions

 Hydrolyzed Collagen Type I  – This collagen is produced by the COL1A1 gene in the human body, called the pro-alpha1(I) – polypeptide chains. The long chains of this fibrous molecule contain about one thousand amino-acid residues. It becomes a long, thin fibril that cross-links to one another in the spaces around cells. The cross-links result in the formation of very strong mature type I collagen fibers.  This collagenous function tends to keep the skin tight and elastic. There are 19 amino acids (proteins) found in Collagen Type 1. Each is essential to the functions and maintenance of our skin, muscles, and bones.

Over 90 percent of the collagen in the body is comprised of Type 1 & 3 Collagen. Proteins in these types of collagen include glycine, proline, alanine, and hydroxyproline.

• Glycine – The amino acid found at the highest levels in collagen, requires more serine than our bodies can naturally produce. Studies suggest the need for glycine supplementation to achieve ideal metabolic processes.
• Proline – A non-essential amino acid synthesized from glycine and important in the function of joints and tendons.
• Hydroxyproline – Amino acid that plays an essential role in the stability of collagen.
• Alanine – Amino acid used in the biosynthesis of proteins.

Research on Other Benefits of Collagen

• Improves elasticity, tend to minimizes fine lines and wrinkles
• Supports the bone matrix (36% of bone is made up of collagen Type 1 and 3)
• Corrects weak or damaged nail beds and strengthen hair structure
• Optimize circulation
• Promote glycine production which builds lean muscle and helps with fat metabolism during sleep

Collagen is an important protein that can be found throughout your body. In fact, it is found in all the connective tissues in your body ranging from your skin and bones, all the way down to your organs and blood vessels.

 Hyaluronic Acid  – This is a carbohydrate, more specifically a mucopolysaccharide occurring naturally throughout the body, the production of which normally declines as the body ages. The function of hyaluronic acid in the body is, amongst other things, to bind water and to lubricate movable parts in the body such as joints and muscles. It also helps keep the skin pliable, firm, and moist from within. Hyaluronic Acid is an essential component of the skin because of its ability to promote collagen; Collagen firms the skin while hyaluronic acid nourishes and hydrates the collagen. There is good reason to believe the at orally administered hyaluronic acid is absorbed in the digestive tract and that it does migrate to the relevant connective tissues. As hyaluronic acid itself, when applied topically, is too large a molecule(3000nm) to pass through the skin where intracellular space is only 15-50nm, and can not be absorbed by or penetrate the skin.

 Vitamin C  – Functions in the cross-linking of collagen, which increases its tensile strength. This strengthens important tissues, including your bones and skin. Collagen also helps skin retain its elasticity, keeping younger for longer. It affects cells on the inside and outside of the body. Vitamin C is a necessary substance for collagen production in the body. Without it, the body simply cannot produce it. It is needed for collagen storage and synthesis. Collagen forms the fibers that “hold together” the body. Likewise, vitamin C is responsible for “holding together” cells during collagen creation. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition examined links between nutrient intakes and skin aging in 4,025 women aged 40 to 74. It found that higher vitamin C intakes were associated with a lower likelihood of a wrinkled appearance, dryness of the skin, and better skin-aging appearance.

“Vitamin C helps protect cells and keep them healthy,” says Marie Murphy, a nutrition scientist at the British Nutrition Foundation. “It is also involved in the production of collagen, which maintains healthy connective tissues, important for the support and structure of tissues and organs including the skin, bones and blood vessels.”

Vitamin C is one of many antioxidants that tend to protect against damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals, as well as toxic chemicals and pollutants. Research suggests that free radicals can build up and contribute to the development of health conditions.

Unlike most animals, humans are unable to produce vitamin C in the body. Therefore, we must get our daily dose of vitamin C from our diet or supplements.

 Copper  – Copper makes the list of very important trace elements (or trace metals) that your body needs to survive and thrive. Studies have shown that copper promotes the production of collagen and elastin in our skin, and helps to produce and repair connective tissue. It also acts as an antioxidant and promotes the production of hyaluronic acid.

Studies have also shown that copper-dependent enzymes help firm, smooth, and soften the skin quicker than most other anti-aging skincare products. In addition, copper peptides have been shown to remove damaged collagen and elastin from the skin and scar tissue.

 Vitamin B5  – Also known as pantothenic acid, this vitamin has a strong ability to soothe, heal, and moisturize skin. It is a water-binding substance that attracts and retains water, making it one of the most beneficial vitamins for hydrating skin. Vitamin B5 also enhances the repair of the skin barrier while reducing inflammation. This process also protects the skin from irritation.

Vitamin B5 (VB5), also known as pantothenate or “anti-stress vitamin,” is the precursor of coenzyme A, which is essential in every micro-organism. Many pantothenic acid amides acquire persuasive antimicrobial activity. Pantothenic acid improves surgical wounds healing with moisturizing and skin barrier enhancing potential. Refer to the scientific literature published in the US National Library of Medicine: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31691401/ – The potential role of B5: A stitch in time and switch in cytokine. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19397697/ – these studies provided new insight in the molecular mechanisms linked to the stimulatory effect of pantothenate and panthenol on the proliferation of dermal fibroblasts.

 Biotin  – Biotin (Vitamin B7) is a part of the B complex family of vitamins. This vitamin aids in maintaining the mucous membranes of the skin. One of the symptoms of people with B7 deficiency is red and scaly rashes on the skin. Biotin plays a crucial role in the process of metabolizing fat, which is essential for maintaining healthy skin.

 L-cysteine – L-cysteine is a vital amino acid that is widely utilized within the body. Its sulfur content tend to covert toxic heavy metal compounds into stable complexes that can be removed from the body. In carrying out its natural functions alongside other amino acids, cysteine offers excellent anti-oxidant effects and help to boost the immune system. Cysteine is required for the formation of many structural proteins of the connective tissues. Simultaneously, L-cysteine increase collagen synthesis and help the skin to maintain a healthy appearance. L‐Cysteine has an antioxidative effect. It stimulates the activity of glutathione peroxidase enzymes, which protect the skin from reactive oxygen species (ROS). It also represses the activity of tyrosinase enzymes, which come from ROS and are involved in the production of melanin. L‐Cysteine is an amino acid that works with vitamin C in preventing the skin’s production of melanin pigments. L-cysteine and vitamin C can play a complementary role. Vitamin C can maintain the stability of cysteine, and cysteine can improve the efficiency of vitamin C.

 Vitamin A  – This vitamin has many beneficial effects on skin health. Vitamin A thickens and stimulates the dermis, working well with wrinkles and improving blood flow to the surface of the skin. Collagen normally breaks down after women hit the age of 25, but vitamin A increases the deposition of collagen, slowing the deposition process. Vitamin A also tend to help with the symptoms of rosacea, while giving the skin a smooth and even tone. An increase in the skin’s smoothness can be attributed to an improvement in skin cell hydration. Additionally, vitamin A helps the rate of wound healing while protecting the skin.

 Natural Vitamin E (d-aplha Tocopheryl acid succinate)   – In terms of beneficial supplements for the skin, vitamin E is one of the most commonly used ingredients. Sometimes, it gets overlooked by newer trends in the industry, but vitamin E holds its own for skin health. It is a strong nutrient for the skin, corrects wrinkles by boosting collagen production. This is extremely beneficial for any woman over 25 years old. Taking vitamin E also increases skin cell growth, which also works well with wrinkles. Vitamin E also blocks free radicals from the body, which protect the skin during aging. When choosing a skin supplement, make sure you find one that includes vitamin E!

According to the National Library of Medicine of the United States  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12672706/  In 1982, it was established that alpha-tocopheryl succinate (alpha-TS) was the most effective form of vitamin E in comparison to alpha-tocopherol, alpha-tocopheryl acetate and alpha-tocopheryl nicotinate.

 Zinc  – Zinc is a fantastic mineral for your skin, especially in terms of healing and acting as an anti-inflammatory agent. When you have a wound, zinc works to protect the body against infection. Even with healthy skin, zinc helps produce new cells while protecting the cell membranes.

Dealing with acne? Zinc is a great ingredient to protect your skin from those pesky zits. Zinc controls immune function, which controls the body’s inflammatory response. With improved immune function, your pores are less likely to get blocked by oil buildup, which causes zits.
