◦ Marine Collagen Peptides - With 5000mg per serving, sustainably-sourced Marine Collagen Peptides provide powerful anti-ageing benefits. A form of type 1 collagen - the most abundant type found in our bodies, making it essential for the healthy functioning of skin - collagen peptides are also a form of collagen that’s been broken down by a process called hydrolysis, meaning it is easier for the body to digest. A daily, high-concentration dose of premium and easily digestible type 1 collagen works to support and maintain skin’s elasticity and firmness, whilst helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and premature ageing.
◦ Hyaluronic acid - A skin-saviour, hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies, with 50% of that amount found in our skin cells. Acting like a sponge, hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1000 times its own weight, making it a moisture magnet - drawing and holding onto water to help maintain moisture levels from within. Keeping skin well hydrated will help to plump, smooth, reduce the appearance of fine lines and maintain an overall healthy appearance. Our Beauty Collagen Powder provides 50mg of Hyaluronic Acid per serving.
◦ Vitamin C - Because it acts as a cofactor in the process of collagen synthesis (meaning the process by which our bodies naturally produce collagen), Vitamin C plays an important role in helping to both maintain and increase the level of collagen in our skin. Not just a one-trick-pony, Vitamin C also helps to form elastin - another protein in our skin that gives it elasticity and suppleness. All of which makes Vitamin C a super-nutrient when it comes to optimising skin health and promoting a smooth, plump complexion.
◦ Vitamin A - Known for its ability to prevent the breakdown of collagen, Vitamin A can help to improve skin elasticity by encouraging the skin cells to produce - and maintain - collagen and elastin fibres. But since Vitamin A can’t be made naturally by the body, it’s important to make sure we get enough through our diet or supplements.
◦ Biotin - Otherwise known as B7, Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that can help to improve and maintain a healthy looking complexion, since it is able to produce the fatty acids essential for proper nourishment of skin. Enzymes in our body also rely on Biotin to function properly, meaning this vitamin is important when it comes to keeping skin cells energised.
◦ Zinc - A mineral with anti-inflammatory and skin-healing properties, Zinc plays an important role in helping to maintain healthy skin. It assists in everything from the synthesis of collagen to ensuring regular cell growth and repair - all of which contribute towards keeping skin looking and feeling its best. Since Zinc is not stored for long in the body, a daily supplement can help to top up overall levels and support the healthy functioning of skin cells.
