Turn your skin to a glowing and bouncy youthful skin with collagen hydrolysate.

Collagen Hydrolysate. Tips to rejuvenate your skin.

It is well known that healthy skin must be smooth, soft, no wrinkles, no dark spots, even skin tone smoothly all over the face. However, normally, the skin is like any other cell. It grows, wears and creates new cells to replace the old one. These processes can occur by relying on nutrients and maintenance both internally and externally. In order for us to take good care of our skin, it's necessary to first learn about structure and function of the skin.

Structure and function of the skin

   The epidermis
The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin that serves to produce new cells and shed old cells off as dead skin cells. In addition, there are pigment-producing cells called melanocytes responsible for producing pigment (melanin) located at the bottom layer of the epidermis.

   The dermis
The dermis is important and comprises up to 90% of the total skin surface structure. The dermis consists of collagen which can be found around 70% and around 5% of elastic. It also consists of nerves, blood vessels, sebaceous glands, glycosaminoglycan which is a binder that hold collagen, elastic fiber and other components within the dermis layer together, and provide moisture to the skin. If this layer is destroyed, e.g. collagen and elastic are destroyed, wrinkles shall begin to develop.

   Subcutaneous fat
It acts as a protective barrier between the skin and the internal muscles and becomes thinner with age. This layer contains fat cells and lymphatic vessels.

Collagen and skin care

Our bodies contain collagen more than one-third of the total protein in the body, and it is the main component of skin in our bodies, up to 70%. Collagen was found to be dense in childhood and deteriorates over time. By the age of 25 and older, the amount of collagen will be decreased by 1.5% each year, causing loose and sagging skin which eventually leads to wrinkles.

Collagen is a protein made up of amino acids joined together in fibers that contribute to a strong and flexible skin structure. Collagen keeps our skin firm and tighter for youthful looking skin. Moreover, it is also important for cartilage, tendons, endothelial cells and various connective tissues in the body.

Factors that cause the breakdown of collagen are free radicals induced by sunlight, pollutions, cigarettes, food contaminants and hormonal changes. All these causes affect the skin layer, causing imbalances during the production and the natural degradation of collagen, resulting in wrinkles and sagging facial skin. Therefore, the way to bring your skin back to its youth is by adding collagen to the skin.

Collagen Hydrolysate, a nutrient for skin care

Collagen Hydrolysate is a nutrient that has undergone through a scientific process to obtain collagen with a shorter size and length which is well absorbed into the body, ready to be used in the process of collagen production for skin cells.

The truth you should know about the principle of choosing collagen

Many people have doubts about taking collagen, e.g. Is it really good to eat in a large amount? The smaller the collagen size, the better? Is it true that it can nourish both the skin and the joints?

The answer is actually, the amount or size of collagen does not always indicate the real benefit. Key things to consider when choosing collagen supplement...

   A collagen hydrolysate, because it can be well absorbed into the body.

   There are research studies in real users in order to ascertain how much you need to take, for how long to obtain the desired benefits.

   Production standard should be considered. Choose a brand that produced from a factory that meets international standards which can guarantee quality control, purity of the raw materials used and contamination control. If the factory doesn't have quality control, even if it's eaten in large quantities, it may not produce the desired results.

Hence, the principle of choosing collagen supplement should consider about type of collagen, production standard and research results in real users to ensure confidence in long-term use.

Examples of research studies of collagen hydrolysate on skin.

E.Proksch et al. studied the effectiveness of collagen hydrolysate (VERISOL®) taken 2.5 g daily for 8 weeks compared with placebo in 114 women aged 45-65 years. It was found that taking VERISOL® 2.5 g once daily significantly reduced wrinkles and increased collagen and elastin content.
