Collagen: from topical cosmetics to nutricosmetics
Long confined to creams and serums, collagen is now establishing itself as an essential nutricosmetics active ingredient. In drinkable form, it acts from the inside, where topical products reach their limits. Numerous clinical studies highlight its benefits: improved skin elasticity, visible reduction in wrinkles, support for hair density and nail strength.
Much more than just a "trendy" ingredient, collagen today appears as a global strategy for preserving youthful tissue and proactively accompanying skin aging.
Collagen: the essential protein for skin youthfulness and structural maintenance
Collagen makes up almost 80% of the dermis, and is one of the main pillars of our connective tissues. It ensures the cohesion, firmness and elasticity of the skin, but also plays a role in the resistance of hair, nails, tendons and bones.
From adulthood onwards, endogenous collagen production naturally declines by 1 to 1.5% per year, a phenomenon that accelerates with sun exposure, oxidative stress and certain dietary imbalances. This progressive loss results in firmer skin, more pronounced wrinkles and overall tissue fragility.
Collagen supplements, and in particular highly-assimilable, drinkable formulations, are today a scientifically-documented answer to supporting natural synthesis, improving skin elasticity and preserving lasting beauty.
The benefits of drinkable collagen: a global ally for skin and tissues
1. Firmer, more radiant skin
Once assimilated by the body, collagen peptides circulate in the bloodstream and stimulate the activity of fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing type I collagen, the main constituent of the dermis.
At the same time, they reduce the activity of enzymes involved in its breakdown. The result: denser, plumper skin, improved elasticity and visibly enhanced radiance.
2. Strengthened hair and nails
Beyond the skin, collagen also contributes to the resistance of the skin. By supporting the structure of hair fibers and keratinocytes, it promotes thicker hair that's less prone to breakage, as well as stronger, less brittle nails.
3. Global anti-aging support
Type I collagen doesn't just have an aesthetic impact. Present in tendons, ligaments and bones, it helps maintain mobility, joint suppleness and overall vitality, making it a true ally of good aging.
4. An asset for muscle recovery
Particularly rich in glycine, a key amino acid in protein construction, collagen supports muscle recovery and energy metabolism. As part of an active, balanced lifestyle, it supports the body's daily needs.
How to choose the right collagen to drink?
Choose hydrolyzed collagen (collagen peptides): this fragmented form offers optimal bioavailability, enabling efficient assimilation by the body. Formulas combined with vitamin C are particularly interesting, as this antioxidant plays an essential role in the natural synthesis of collagen.
The choice of origin - marine or bovine - will depend on your personal preferences and quality requirements.
Clinical studies show that a daily dose of 5 to 10 g of hydrolyzed collagen is sufficient to achieve visible, measurable results on skin quality.
Drinkable collagen: when do results appear?
The first benefits of a type I hydrolyzed collagen cure can be seen as early as 3 weeks: denser skin, improved firmness, reduction in fine lines, particularly around crow's feet. This is the case with our LONGÉVITÉClinical studies on the entire formula and the precise duration of treatment have demonstrated a clear improvement in these parameters in just 21 days of treatment.
The effects are reinforced over the weeks, with a cumulative action on skin structure.
To optimize results, it is essential to integrate collagen into a holistic skincare routine: regular moisturizing, a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, stress management and restful sleep.
A patented active ingredient is a product or process whose technical innovation has been recognized and protected by a patent. The latter guarantees the exclusive monopoly on the exploitation of the invention in one or more given territories for a maximum period of 20 years, preventing other companies from using it without prior authorization. In the world of nutricosmetics and skin care, patented active ingredients play a key role in product effectiveness and differentiation.
In a world where dietary supplements and especially nutricosmetics abound, it can be difficult to distinguish effective formulas from ordinary products. At Evoleum, we have made quality and innovation the cornerstones of our approach. But what really sets us apart is the importance we place on the synergy between the active ingredients that make up each of our formulations.
Numerous scientific studies rigorously demonstrate the influence of the seasons on certain metabolic phenomena within the body. The skin is a functional organ that constantly interacts with its environment. In spring, several factors can influence its appearance and renewal:
Taking care of your skin involves proper moisturizing and external skin care, as well as supplements. to assets of interest like ceramosides™.
