Why BeautyPharma Collagen Capsules?

  • Our PATENTED enteric coated capsule allows for stomach acid resistance and high bioavailability. This capsule breaks down in the small intestine, not the large intestine with our patented capsules to allow for maximum absorption
  • Our capsules contain 500mg medical grade hydrolyzed collagen peptan per capsule, the same collagen as that found in human bones and skin
  • Many products containing collagen, including creams and powders, claim to revitalize the skin by increasing collagen levels within the body. This is unlikely, however, as collagen molecules are too large to be absorbed through the skin. Any benefit is probably due to the moisturizing effects of these products. They do not directly increase collagen.
  • Many collagen powders contain high levels of sodium

What is Collagen?
Collagen is a hard, insoluble, and fibrous protein that makes up one-third of the protein in the human body. These act as supporting structures and anchor cells to each other. They give the skin strength and elasticity. Collagen makes up 75% of the dry weight of your skin. As you age, your skin’s inner layer loses collagen and becomes less supple and more vulnerable to damage.

What is Collagen Good For?

  • Supports skin, hair and nail growth
  • Improves skin elasticity, tightens skin and reduces aging effects
  • Helps improve cellulite
  • Helps joint recovery

WHAT DECREASES COLLAGEN?

High sugar consumption: A high-sugar diet increases the rate of glycation, a process where blood sugars attach to proteins to form new molecules called advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs damage nearby proteins and can make collagen dry, brittle, and weak.

Smoking: Many chemicals present in tobacco smoke damage both collagen and elastin in the skin. Nicotine also narrows the blood vessels in the outer layers of the skin. This compromises skin health by reducing the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the skin.

Sunlight: Ultraviolet rays in sunlight cause collagen to break down more rapidly, damaging collagen fibers and causing abnormal elastin to build up. The UV rays in sunlight damage the collagen in the dermis, and the skin rebuilds incorrectly, forming wrinkles.

Autoimmune disorders: Some autoimmune disorders cause antibodies to target collagen. Genetic changes can affect the extracellular matrix. The collagen that is produced can be lower, or it may be dysfunctional, mutated collagen.

The aging process causes collagen levels to deplete naturally over time
