1. How Does Collagen Vitality™ Work?

Your skin is made up of two layers. The outer external protective barrier called the epidermis and the inner regenerative layer called the dermis. The structure of the inner dermis is made up of collagen and an extracellular matrix containing hyaluronic acid (HA).   These two components provide your skin with its firmness, elasticity and youthful fullness.

After the age of 25 this collagen matrix starts to deplete and may start to show signs of wrinkles, fine lines, dryness or blemishes as a result of free radical or oxidative stress damage (environmental, nutritional, physical). Topical skin creams only target the external epidermis, Collagen Vitality™ works beyond this by supporting your skin from within.   It helps to support both the dermis and epidermis with new collagen & HA formation, while providing scientifically proven skin protective anti-oxidants and adaptogens to help limit the oxidative stress and free radical damage that impairs skin health and regeneration.  Collagen Vitality’s advanced formula uniquely combines the highest quality collagen with essential synthesis enhancing vitamin C and minerals, a combination of molecular weight HA, blackcurrant BerryShield™ polyphenols, grapeseed extract, DracoBelle™ Nu, olive extracts, curcumin and KSM-66™ ashwagandha. Together these ingredients provide a synergy that optimises your collagen regeneration for radiant, younger looking skin.

Collagen Vitality™ is best stirred into fruit juice (we think apple, blueberry, grape or pomegranate juice taste great), made into a healthy smoothie, stirred into yoghurt (try a few almonds for extra vitamin E and fibre) or porridge (whole oats for skin boosting ceramides).

Simply stir two dessert spoons (~17g) with 100-150 ml of your favourite juice or yoghurt or porridge.  If making a smoothie try adding fruit (frozen or fresh berries) for extra antioxidant nutritional goodness and flavour or 1/3 banana for added sweetness.  Collagen Vitality™ is best consumed immediately after making. Recipes on-line and on Instagram for a little inspiration.

Drink daily.  Can be used as a meal replacement as part of a balanced weight loss programme.

For great lasting results, continued use is recommended.  Collagen Vitality™ should be part of a daily skincare regime.

If you have any health conditions or become pregnant consult a physician before use.

7. Why is collagen vitality™ better than topical collagen creams?

The collagen in topical creams cannot penetrate the epidermis (the top, outermost skin layer) because the molecules are too large. Therefore, it cannot be absorbed into our skin’s deeper dermal layer. As this is the source of our natural ageing, topical collagen application is ineffective. Nutritional supplementation of collagen does not have to penetrate the epidermis, and is instead absorbed into the blood stream where it can effectively reach the deep skin layers to stimulate new collagen formation.

Collagen Vitality™ also contains a whole host of other ingredients that benefit your skin and health.

8. Can I optimise the benefits of collagen vitality™?

Collagen Vitality™ is designed to support your collagen production and skin health. However, you can help to optimise its effects by limiting free radical and oxidative stress damage. Try to have a healthy, nutrient rich diet (which includes 5-7 portions of vegetables and 2 portions of fruit per day and omega 3 rich fish, salmon, trout and sardines are all good sources), minimise alcohol, sugar and caffeine intake, stop smoking (each cigarette requires ~60mg of vitamin C to combat the free radical damage), avoid sun damage and partake in regular exercise that includes resistance training. Collagen Vitality™ should also be used in combination with high quality natural topical skincare products that ensure SPF.
