High Collagen Beauty Shots

The appearance of the skin is a reflection of health and overall well-being. As a protective barrier, our skin is constantly exposed to external environmental factors (sun, wind, etc.) as well as stress, which further accelerates the aging process. At the age of 30, human skin begins to change, characterized by alterations in the skin’s connective tissue. Collagen is an important protein for connective tissue: In the dermis of human skin, collagen accounts for over 70% of the skin’s dry weight. The body is capable of producing at least 28 different types of collagen. However, the most important are collagen types I and III.

The collagen content is particularly important for the firmness and elasticity of the skin and it is assumed that changes in its quantity and structure are responsible for the formation of wrinkles and the reduction in skin smoothness and moisture. Healthy collagen levels are therefore important for:

• Skin elasticity
• Skin smoothness
• Moisturizing the skin

Collagen is a structural protein. It is produced from precursor molecules that are formed in special cells in the DERMIS, known as fibroblasts. Fibroblasts also produce other structural components, such as elastin and hyaluronic acid.

Collagen formation and collagen breakdown occur in the dermis. Specific enzymes (metalloproteinases) break down collagen, while collagen renewal occurs throughout our entire lives to repair or replace damaged tissue or build new cellular structures.

As the skin ages, collagen becomes increasingly fragmented because the activity of the enzymes that break it down increases, while collagen production by fibroblasts decreases. As a result, the skin of an 80-year-old has four times as many broken collagen fibers as the skin of a 21- to 30-year-old.

Over the past ten years, there has been increasing research into how to protect the skin’s collagen content in order to prevent collagen breakdown and stimulate the synthesis of new collagen, even in more mature skin. Scientific studies show that collagen synthesis can be promoted by small, stimulating peptides derived from natural collagen sources.

Collagen peptides are highly digestible proteins. In their original form, these proteins cannot be absorbed as quickly by the gastrointestinal tract. By breaking them down—or subjecting them to enzymatic hydrolysis—into small peptides, a product is created that can be easily absorbed by the human body. This specialized technology is used in the production of High Collagen Beauty Shots.

In a placebo-controlled double-blind clinical study conducted at the Cosderma Institute in France over a period of 56 days, the positive effects of oral intake of 10 g SOLUGEL® on the elasticity and firmness of the skin as well as on skin hydration were demonstrated.

Several human clinical studies have confirmed that the daily intake of 5-10 g/day of collagen peptides over 4 to 12 weeks has a positive effect on the moisture content, elasticity, fine lines and smoothness of facial skin.

• Simply obtained collagen molecules are too large to be well absorbed by the body SOLUGEL® is made from high-quality collagen peptides from natural resources Using a special process, the collagen peptides it contains are reduced into smaller molecules by enzymatic hydrolosis until they are well absorbed by the body and maximum metabolization is ensured
• High Collagen Beauty Shots are highly dosed with 10g collagen peptides per daily dose (other collagen products contain 2-5g per daily dose)
• The positive effect of High Collagen has been confirmed by independent clinical studies
• High Collagen Beauty Shots made from natural ingredients have a pleasant cherry/cassis flavor and are sugar-free, sweetened with stevia and honey
