Optimized Collagen - Collagen Peptides

Optimized Collagen™ with Verisol®, contains the specific form of bioactive collagen peptides that your skin needs to create new collagen. The collagen peptides have undergone a specific enzymatic hydrolysis process to produce ‘hydrolyzed collagen’ that actively stimulates collagen production by fibroblasts in the skin. Clinical studies have shown Verisol® to stimulate collagen synthesis, improve skin structure and elasticity, and decrease the appearance of wrinkles and cellulite.† HIGHLIGHTS Bioavailable ‘hydrolyzed collagen’ that actively stimulates collagen production by fibroblasts in the skin Contains Verisol®, a clinically proven collagen for skin 100% pure collagen protein, free of fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates and dietary fiber Rich in type I and type III (bovine) collagen No odor or taste so mixes well into food and drinks Independently tested for quality, safety and purity – free of hormones For women and men 18+ SUGGESTED USAGE Adults take 1 scoop daily, mixed with 8 ounces of water, juice, coffee, tea or your favorite recipe.

Benefits BENEFITS Get glowing skin, healthier hair and stronger nails† with Naturenetics Optimized Collagen™, a high-quality hydrolyzed collagen peptides powder that enhances beauty from within. Verisol®, the ingredient in our Optimized Collagen™, contains both type 1 and type 3 collagen which are important for skin, hair and nail health. Ingredients Ingredients Patented ingredient Verisol® has been proven in clinical studies to produce measurable improvements in skin appearance and texture. It is created using a patented process that produces the precise collagen peptides (tiny strands of protein) required to stimulate collagen production by fibroblast cells in the skin. Clinical results include improvement in skin appearance and elasticity, reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, reduced cellulite, and faster growing, stronger nails.† High quality bovine sources The collagen in Optimized Collagen™ comes from high quality bovine sources in the USA and Europe, and is tested for safety and purity. Rich in type 1 and 3 collagen The body contains many different types of collagen, which it uses in different ways. The skin is comprised mainly of type 1 collagen, supported by type 3, and these form the main structural protein and 'glue' that gives skin its firm, smooth texture and appearance. Optimized Collagen™ is rich in type 1 and 3 collagen to provide skin cells with the food they need to create new collagen.† Clinically proven results Human clinical studies on this ingredient showed: ​​Increased skin procollagen (a precursor to collagen) by 65% after 8 weeks of use, ​​​​improved skin elasticity by up to 15% after just 4 weeks of use, r​​​​​educed eye wrinkle depth by just over 20% after 8 weeks of use, ​​​​​​decreased cellulite and skin waviness after 3 months of use, decreased cracked/chipped nails by 42% after 6 months, and f​​​​​​aster growing nails according to 71% of participants.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, making up 30% of the body’s overall protein and 70-80% of the protein found in the skin. The word collagen comes from the Greek word kolla, which means glue. Collagen can be thought of as the glue that holds the body together and it plays an essential role in providing both structure and flexibility to the skin. The skin loses around 1% of its collagen per year from our mid-20s, leading to a decrease in firmness and elasticity, and the development of wrinkles. What types of collagen are important for hair, skin and nails? There are 28 different types of collagen but 80-90% of collagen in the human body are types 1, 2 and 3. The skin is made up primarily of type 1 collagen, but type 3 is needed to support type 1. Verisol®, the patented ingredient in Optimized Collagen™, contains both type 1 and type 3 collagen. Does Optimized Collagen help other parts of the body? Because Optimized Collagen™ includes type 1 and type 3 collagen it is particularly beneficial for the skin, but it also provides support for joints, ligaments and bone marrow.† Where does collagen come from? Collagen is primarily found in animal skin, bones and tendons. Sources include bovine (cow), porcine (pig), fish, chicken and egg, which all yield different types and quality of collagen. In our product we use bovine because it is rich in high quality type 1 and 3 collagen, making it ideal for skin. It also includes the amino acid proline, which is protective against sun damage. Bovine collagen is also well researched and found to be safe and effective. Can you get collagen from your diet or do you need a supplement? Certain foods are high in collagen, such as bone broth, gelatin, fatty fish (especially the skin and bones) and eggs, but the difference between these dietary sources and a supplement like Optimized Collagen™ (containing Verisol®) is that the collagen in food has not been through the patented hydrolysis process necessary to create the specific peptides that stimulate collagen synthesis in the skin. So while it is possible to get collagen from your diet, this product provides collagen in the correct form to target fibroblasts, and it provides a consistent daily dose that is convenient and easy to take. What clinical studies were done on Verisol®? These are the clinical studies that have been conducted on Verisol®: -Oral supplementation of specific collagen peptides has beneficial effects on human skin physiology: a double-blind, placebo-controlled study. 2014 (Kiel, Germany). Subjects were women aged 35-55 - Oral supplementation of specific collagen peptides has beneficial effects on human skin physiology: a double-blind, placebo-controlled study. 2014 (Kiel, Germany). Subjects were women aged 35-55 - Oral intake of specific bioactive collagen peptides reduces skin wrinkles and increases dermal matrix synthesis. 2014 (Kiel, Germany). Subjects were women aged 45-65. - Dietary supplementation with specific collagen peptides has a body mass index-dependent beneficial effect on cellulite morphology. 2015 (Kiel, Germany and Sao Paulo, Brazil). Subjects were women aged 24-50 with moderate cellulite. - Oral supplementation with specific bioactive collagen peptides improves nail growth and reduces symptoms of brittle nails. 2017 (Porto Alegre, Brazil). There were 25 female participants. How do you take it? Optimized Collagen™ is a powder which comes with a small 2.5g scoop. The daily dose is one scoop, which you mix with your drink of choice (which can be warm or cold). You can also add it to food, as long as there is some liquid for the powder to dissolve (yogurt and smoothies are ideal). Does it taste of anything? The collagen powder is unflavored and odorless. If you add it to water you might detect a tiny difference in taste, but it’s very subtle. How many servings are contained in a tub? If you take the recommended one scoop (2.5g) per day there will be 60 servings, or 60 days’ worth in each tub. Is it beneficial for both men and women? Yes, both men and women need collagen in the same way, and Optimized Collagen™ is recommended for anyone over the age of 18 who is concerned about skin health and wrinkles, hair and nails. Women are often more concerned with wrinkles and can have thinner skin than men, so taking collagen will help address this. For men, collagen can help support hair growth and may slow age-related hair loss.† Are collagen supplements safe? Collagen supplements are considered safe for most people, with no significant side effects reported. If you are under the age of 18 or have a known medical condition, you should consult a physician before using this or any dietary supplement. Can you take collagen while pregnant or breastfeeding? Pregnant or nursing mothers should consult a physician before taking this or any dietary supplement. Can you take collagen with HairAnew™ or biotin supplements? Yes, you can take both at the same time as there is no interaction between the two. Collagen is a protein whereas biotin is a vitamin. Proteins provide structure to the skin (and the rest of the body), while vitamins help the body make healthy protein. Because Optimized Collagen™ and HairAnew™ work in different ways, they complement one another for even better results.† REVIEWS REVIEWS
