Nutricosmetics are revolutionizing skin, hair and nail care, allowing the body to be nourished from within with ingredients that promote health and beauty.
Among them, collagen stands out for its ability to improve the firmness and elasticity of the skin. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to the appearance of wrinkles and sagging. Collagen supplements help compensate for this loss, keeping the skin looking more youthful.
Below, we answer the most common questions about collagen, its benefits, the most important types, and how to incorporate it into your daily routine with products like LUXMETIQUE® PROAGE DAY FORMULA .
What is collagen and what is it used for?
What are the benefits of collagen?
Collagen is essential for the functioning and health of different parts of the body. The main benefits of collagen supplements include:
- Improved skin elasticity : By replenishing collagen, firmness and elasticity are improved, reducing sagging and improving skin texture.
- Wrinkle reduction : Hydrolyzed collagen, such as that found in Verisol® , has been shown to be effective in reducing wrinkles and expression lines, leaving the skin looking smoother and younger.
- Joint Health : In addition to improving skin, collagen helps regenerate cartilage, improving mobility and reducing joint stiffness and pain.
- Strengthens hair and nails : Stimulates keratin production, helping hair grow stronger and healthier, and nails become more resistant.
- Skin Hydration : Improves the skin's ability to retain moisture, leaving skin softer and brighter.
What are the types of collagen?
There are several types of collagen, but the most important for skin health are collagen type I and collagen type III .
- Type I collagen : This is the most abundant collagen in the human body and is found mainly in the skin, tendons and bones. It is the type of collagen responsible for skin firmness.
- Type III collagen : Works alongside type I collagen and is present in muscles and blood vessels. It plays an important role in skin elasticity and flexibility.
The Verisol® collagen patent, a key active ingredient in PROAGE DAY FORMULA of LUXMETIQUE® combines collagen types I and III, which are the most important for combating the signs of aging, improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Is collagen really absorbed?
A common question is whether collagen is actually absorbed into the body. In its natural form, collagen is a large molecule, making it difficult to fully absorb. However, hydrolyzed collagen , such as that in PROAGE DAY , is a good alternative to collagen. FORMULA , is fragmented into smaller peptides, which facilitates its absorption in the intestine.
These peptides are distributed to the deeper layers of the skin, where they stimulate the natural production of collagen, contributing to a noticeable improvement in firmness, elasticity, reduction of wrinkles and sagging.
Is there such thing as vegan collagen?
Collagen comes from animal sources, such as bovine, porcine or fish, so there is no such thing as vegan collagen .
However, there are supplements that include ingredients such as vitamin C, silicon and zinc, which can stimulate the natural production of collagen in the body but do not contain it in their formulation and, therefore, do not have that exogenous contribution to the body of this protein, thus being less effective than a collagen supplement of animal origin.
In addition, PROAGE DAY 's Verisol® collagen FORMULA contains super-hydrolyzed biopeptides of bovine origin, capable of accessing the dermis and stimulating collagen synthesis. Being of bovine origin, its amino acid composition is the most similar to the amino acids of human collagen and, therefore, will help the skin produce collagen and elastin naturally.
That is, we not only get that contribution of exogenous collagen with the vial, but we also stimulate our own endogenous collagen and elastin to promote their production and help the skin to fill out and redensify.
How to incorporate collagen into your daily routine?
