The real question is whether you can switch production back on from within.<\/p>\n<p>In this guide we explain what collagen is, why it declines, how <strong>Verisol\u00ae<\/strong> bioactive collagen peptides work, and what controlled clinical studies found for wrinkles, elasticity, cellulite and nails.

It is the scaffolding that holds your tissues together: skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bones, blood vessels and even the cornea of your eye.<\/p>\n<p>Its structure is unique. Three chains of amino acids wind around each other like a rope (a triple helix), with a repeating pattern of <strong>glycine, proline and hydroxyproline<\/strong>. This architecture gives skin its tensile strength and gives tendons the strength to transfer force from muscle to bone.<\/p>\n<p>Two types dominate in skin:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"scn-checks\">\n<li><strong>Type I collagen<\/strong> provides strength and firmness. It is also the main type in tendons and bones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Type III collagen<\/strong> provides elasticity. It is most abundant in young skin and blood vessels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Together with <strong>elastin<\/strong> and <strong>hyaluronic acid<\/strong>, they form the dermis, the layer that decides whether your skin looks full and smooth or thin and wrinkled.<\/p>\n<p><!-- ================= WHY DECLINES ================= --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-it-declines\">Why does collagen decline with age?<\/h2>\n<p>Skin is shaped by internal and external factors, and they all lead to the same result: less collagen being made and more being broken down.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"scn-checks\">\n<li><strong>Age:<\/strong> from around 25, collagen production falls a little every year.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hormones:<\/strong> the drop in oestrogen at menopause sharply accelerates collagen loss in the skin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sun (UV):<\/strong> ultraviolet light activates enzymes that cut collagen apart. It is the main driver of photo-ageing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oxidative stress:<\/strong> smoking, pollution, intense training and poor sleep all increase free radicals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Diet:<\/strong> shortfalls in protein, vitamin C, copper or zinc leave your fibroblasts without raw materials and co-factors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> glycation makes collagen fibres stiff and brittle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- ================= HOW IT WORKS ================= --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-it-works\">How does Verisol\u00ae collagen work in the skin?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Verisol\u00ae<\/strong> is a patented range of <strong>bioactive collagen peptides<\/strong> from Gelita, Germany, developed specifically for skin. What sets it apart from ordinary &#8220;hydrolysed collagen&#8221; is its <strong>mechanism of action<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>1. It is absorbed as small, bioactive peptides<\/h3>\n<p>After you drink it, part of the peptides crosses from the gut into the blood not as single amino acids, but as small fragments such as the dipeptide <strong>prolyl-hydroxyproline (Pro-Hyp)<\/strong>. These peptides reach the dermis.<\/p>\n<h3>2. It signals your fibroblasts<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Fibroblasts<\/strong> are the cells that build the collagen in your skin. Verisol\u00ae peptides send them a message that collagen is being broken down and needs replacing. The fibroblasts respond by increasing production of <strong>collagen, elastin and fibrillin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>3. It works where creams cannot reach<\/h3>\n<p>Collagen molecules in creams are far too large to pass through the outer skin. Oral collagen works from within, directly on collagen metabolism in the dermis.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.s-c-nutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1-RZ_CollagenWirkung_Haut_RGB_2012_0.jpg\" alt=\"How oral Verisol collagen peptides act on dermal collagen metabolism in the skin.\" title=\"The ultimate beauty formula - Skin rejuvenation - wrincle decrease - hair &amp; nail health formula 3\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>Orally taken VERISOL\u00ae affects dermal collagen metabolism, not just the outer layers of the skin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.s-c-nutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Image2.jpg\" alt=\"Collagen synthesis by skin fibroblasts stimulated by Verisol collagen peptides.\" title=\"The ultimate beauty formula - Skin rejuvenation - wrincle decrease - hair &amp; nail health formula 4\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>Collagen synthesis in vitro.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"scn-product\">\n<div class=\"scn-product-img\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.s-c-nutrition.com\/product\/collagen\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.s-c-nutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/OK_3D_TUBFBOX_SCN-50-50.jpg\" alt=\"The Ultimate Beauty Formula with Verisol collagen for skin, hair and nails by S-C-Nutrition\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"scn-product-body\">\n<span class=\"scn-badge\">2,500 mg Verisol\u00ae per sachet<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Ultimate Beauty Formula<\/h3>\n<p>The clinically studied dose of Verisol\u00ae with KANEKA QH\u2122 ubiquinol, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, copper, selenium, MSM and Lactospore\u00ae probiotics: 16 ingredients in one pineapple-coconut sachet.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"scn-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.s-c-nutrition.com\/product\/collagen\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\">Buy it now<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- ================= RESEARCH ================= --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"research\">What do clinical studies show about Verisol\u00ae collagen?<\/h2>\n<p>Verisol\u00ae is one of the few beauty ingredients backed by <strong>double-blind, placebo-controlled studies<\/strong> in people.

It combines 16 ingredients that work <strong>in synergy<\/strong>, each one amplifying the others. These are the 8 key benefits:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"scn-benefits\">\n<li><strong>Fewer, shallower wrinkles.<\/strong> Verisol\u00ae increases type I collagen production in the dermis and reduced wrinkle volume in a clinical study. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Firmer, more elastic skin.<\/strong> The elastin and fibrillin that Verisol\u00ae stimulates, together with copper, which contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissues, help your skin bounce back.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deep hydration.<\/strong> Hyaluronic acid holds water in your tissues. In studies, around 120 mg a day taken orally improved moisture in dry skin. The formula contains 150 mg.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Less visible cellulite.<\/strong> Strengthening the structure of the dermis reduced skin waviness in a 6-month study.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stronger nails that grow faster.<\/strong> Fewer broken nails with Verisol\u00ae, while selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal nails.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Healthy hair.<\/strong> Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, and copper to normal hair pigmentation. MSM supplies sulphur for keratin, and vitamin D3 and B12 cover two common shortfalls linked with hair loss.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Joints and bones.<\/strong> Collagen is the main building material of cartilage, tendons and bones. Vitamin D and magnesium contribute to the maintenance of normal bones, while hyaluronic acid, glucosamine and MSM support joint lubrication.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beauty from the gut.<\/strong> The probiotic Lactospore\u00ae supports a balanced gut flora, the base of the gut\u2013skin axis.

Beauty and performance share the same protein: the collagen that keeps your skin firm is the same collagen that keeps your tendons strong. These are the 8 benefits for runners, cyclists, triathletes, swimmers and marathon runners:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"scn-benefits\">\n<li><strong>Tendon and ligament support.<\/strong> The Achilles and patellar tendons are made mostly of type I collagen. Research found that collagen with vitamin C taken before exercise increased markers of collagen synthesis.<sup>5<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Joints under load.<\/strong> Studies in athletes with activity-related joint pain found improvements with collagen peptides (at higher doses than the daily beauty dose).<sup>6,7<\/sup> Hyaluronic acid, glucosamine and MSM complete the joint side of the formula.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strong bones.<\/strong> Bone is essentially a collagen mesh filled with minerals. Vitamin D and magnesium contribute to the maintenance of normal bones, which matters for the repeated impact of running.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Less fatigue.<\/strong> Magnesium and vitamin B12 contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, while magnesium and vitamin D contribute to normal muscle function.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Protection from oxidative stress.<\/strong> Hard training increases free radicals. KANEKA QH\u2122 ubiquinol, vitamins E and C and selenium contribute to the protection of cells.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recovery after hard sessions.<\/strong> MSM has been studied in half-marathon runners for muscle and joint pain after the race.<sup>8<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Skin that handles sun, wind and chlorine.<\/strong> Endurance athletes spend hundreds of hours outdoors. Verisol\u00ae, vitamins A and E and ubiquinol support the skin that takes the most punishment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hydration and gut.<\/strong> Coconut water powder provides natural electrolytes. Lactospore\u00ae supports the gut, which is often tested over long distances.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"scn-box\">\n<p class=\"scn-box-title\">Tip for athletes<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">For tendons, research shows better results when collagen with vitamin C is taken <strong>30\u201360 minutes before<\/strong> a short training or mobility session.
