Description
Why is it important to distinguish between the effects of collagens?
Did you know that there is no universal collagen for everything? That is why we have focused the benefits of our products in three directions, offering a product for beauty and youthful appearance, as well as for joint and cartilage health or strong tendons and ligaments. Our bioactive collagen peptides are specifically optimised for their physiological benefits. The peptides are derived from a highly controlled collagen production process determined by the conditions of hydrolysis. As a result, bioactive collagen peptides differ in their physiological functionality. They are optimised to maximise the stimulation of the human cell types involved in collagen biosynthesis. In layman’s terms, there is raw native collagen, from which a patented manufacturing process produces specific bioactive collagen peptides which, because of their physiological function (e.g. molecular weight), “affect and attract” the cells in the body for which they are “made”. For example, collagen for “Beauty and Youthfulness” acts on fibroblast cells we have in our skin. Collagen for “Joints and Cartilage” affects the chondrocyte cells found in joints, and collagen for “Tendons and Ligaments” affects tendoncytes (tendon cells) and ligamentocytes (ligament cells).
Why supplement with collagen?
Collagen is the main constituent of the human body. Approximately 30% of our total body protein is made up of collagen. Collagen is essential in our bodies for beautiful skin, smooth, wrinkle-free skin, shiny hair, healthy nails, as well as flexible joints, strong bones, healthy muscles, strong ligaments and tendons. Its production starts to decline from the age of 20. From the age of 30, the breakdown of collagen in our bodies accelerates and the ageing process becomes much more noticeable.
Startes Hydrolysed Collagen – Beauty and Youthfulness
Due to their very low molecular weight (measured in Daltons (Da)), Startes collagens have a significantly higher efficiency. In the body, collagen gets to where it is needed. Startes Hydrolyzed Collagen – Beauty and Youthfulness has a molecular weight of only 2,000 Da and its effects are confirmed by studies from around the world. It is thus ideal for skin, hair, nails, elastic skin, stretch marks and cellulite. Startes Hydrolyzed Collagen – Beauty and Youthfulness with bioactive VERISOL – type peptides provides a highly absorbable form of collagen. Peptides are organic chemical compounds formed by the combination of several amino acids. Their size is very small, which is why they are so effective for the body compared to the large molecules of ordinary – commonly available collagen. The product contains VERISOL type collagen peptides and Vitamin C, which contributes to the normal production of collagen for the normal functioning of the skin, blood vessels, gums, teeth, normal functioning of the nervous system and protection of cells from oxidative stress. Collagen peptide supplementation has been clinically proven to stimulate the production of collagen, proteoglycan and elastin synthesis in human fibroblasts (skin cells). This slows down the ageing process in the most natural way for the body.
How to use
Mix approximately 3/4 of the contents of the enclosed scoop (2,55 g) in a glass of water (1-2 dl). You can use any cold beverage instead of water. Allow to dissolve for 2-3 minutes and stir. It can also be added to porridge, yoghurt, smoothies or cereal.
Dosage
Packaging – Startes Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides – Beauty and Youthfulness is equivalent to 2,55g x 60 daily doses. A measuring cup is included. To achieve the first visible results, we recommend taking it once a day at any time of the day for at least 2 to 3 months. It can be used long term.
Note
A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of the reach of children. Do not exceed recommended dosage. Protect from direct sunlight and moisture. Store at a temperature of 25°C or below.
Study results
A 2013 study by E. Proksch 1, D. Segger, J. Degwert, M. Schunck, V. Zague, S. Oesser, in which the first group of 69 women aged 35 to 55 years showed an increase in skin elasticity of up to 15% after 4 weeks of supplementation with VERISOL (2,500 mg) compared to placebo. In the second group of 100 women aged 45 to 65, wrinkles were significantly reduced and skin collagen levels increased by up to 60%.
A 2015 study by the group of authors M. Schunck, V. Zague, S. Oesser, E. Proksch studied 105 women between the ages of 25 and 50, and the results of ultrasound testing showed a significant improvement in skin layers and a reduction in cellulite after 6 months in women with a BMI below 25.
A 2017 study by a group of authors including D. Hexsel, V. Zague, M. Schunck, C. Siega, FO. Camozzato and S. Oesser examined the effect of VERISOL on nail quality and growth. After 2 months of use, there was a reduction in nail brittleness, and after 6 months the results showed up to 42% less nail brittleness than the placebo control group. Nail growth was statistically improved after 3 months of supplementation.
In the recent 2020 study by S. Oesser, VERISOL was shown to improve hair appearance and texture (strength, thickness and shine). The study enrolled 44 healthy women, aged 39 to 75 years, who were each given 2 500 mg of VERISOL per day or placebo maltodextrin for 16 weeks. Cell culture monitoring showed a significant 31% increase in human hair follicle cell proliferation, indicating a positive effect on hair metabolism.
