Q : How does it work?

A : Collagen is the body's natural protein present in bones, skin, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. It keeps the tissue in joints and skin healthy and supple and strengthens hair and nails.

As we age the body's natural production of collagen compounds decreases. This generally occurs from the age of about 25.

Taking the Skin Deep Collagen supplement helps the body restore its collagen base to that of a younger person. This results in a slowing down of the general wear and tear of the body.

The collagen supplement is absorbed through the blood stream. Skin Deep Collagen has a much higher absorption level than any other products sue to its low molecular weight. This mean that it is transported quicker. Once in the body it seems to perform the same role as natural collagen.

Ninty-five percent of the hydrolyzed collagen taken orally is absorbed within the first 12 hours. Studies have proven this excellent rate of absorption. It is shown to accumulate in cartilage, thus having a positive effect on joints.

Q : How quickly will it work?

A : The benefits can be experienced as soon as 3 weeks, in some cases it can take up to 3 months. However, the younger the person the quicker the effects will be, due to younger people having faster cell turnover times.

Q : What effects will it give?

A : It can help to replair tissue damage, reducing pain and injury in joints and helping conditions such as osteoarthritis. Research has shown that collagen supplementation counteracts some effects associated with abrasion and deterioration of joints. For example, athletes suffering with problems such as damaged cartilage or people with osteoarthritis suffering with painful and stiff joints due to cartilage breakdown, have reported amazing recovery after taking collagen supplementation.

As well as repairing it can maintain and improve elasticity, strength and suppleness of tissue, helping to protect the body.

Everyone is at risk of the degenerative effects of aging and sun damage, taking collagen can help combat signs of aging, making the body more youthful from within. Unlike collagen creams or injections which just work locally collagen supplementation works on the whole body.

Q : How long will it last?

A : The effects are cumulative and long lasting. If you stop taking the collagen the results achieved will gradually be reduced. Collagen should be taken as a general maintainence to slow down the effects of depleting collagen levels.

Q : Will I see a dramatic difference?

A : There will be a subtle gradual improvement to skin and joints. Fine lines and wrinkles will be minimized as will further damage. The skin can look healthier and more radient as collagen helps to hold water in the skin.

Q : Are there any side effects?

A : There are no reported side effects or contraindictions when taking a medication.

Q : Where does it come from?

A : We have researched various collagen products, including marine and various animal derived sources. The only product that had clinical support with double blind placebo trials was the bovine sourcesm which has FDA and GRAS approval. It is produced by an enzymatic hydrolization process, from collagen of bovine. Its amino acid compostion is the nearest to human collagen. It is certified safe from BSE. At present we believe we are the only UK Company to use this product.

Q : What is in it?

A : It is 100% purely natural collagen containing Amino acids.

Q : When do i take it?

A : We recommend 3 capsules taken before bedtime. This is because your body is repairing while your sleep and tissue is renewed.
