What is collagen?


Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and the most important structural protein of connective tissue, giving skin its strength, elasticity, and resilience. Collagen also promotes the production of keratin, the main component of hair and nails. It therefore contributes significantly to the health and regeneration of skin, hair, and nails.

Who should take collagen?

As early as age 25, the body's own collagen production begins to decline, which can promote the formation of wrinkles, hair loss, and brittle nails. From age 40 onward, production then declines significantly, which can intensify these effects. But age isn't the only factor: UV radiation, smoking, alcohol consumption, and lack of sleep and exercise can also reduce collagen production. Therefore, taking collagen supplements can be beneficial for people who want to compensate for natural breakdown and support the health of their skin, hair, and nails.

Is there vegan collagen?

Vegan collagen doesn't exist, as collagen in its natural form occurs exclusively in animal tissue. There are plant-based alternatives that can stimulate the body's own collagen production. However, there are few clinical studies proving their effectiveness, while animal collagen has been better researched.

Can collagen needs be met naturally?
Since collagen is found primarily in the skin, bones, and tendons of animals, its intake from animal products is relatively low. Furthermore, high meat consumption, in particular, is not recommended as part of a healthy and ecologically sustainable diet.

Which collagen is best?

Studies show that hydrolyzed fish collagen (marine collagen broken down into smaller amino acids) is best absorbed by the body. It's also rich in type I collagen, the main component of skin, hair, and nails, making it ideal for supporting skin elasticity, promoting healthy hair growth, and strengthening nails. For this reason, we consciously chose to incorporate Naticol® – a highly pure, clinically tested, hydrolyzed fish collagen – into our beauty drink.



When do collagen supplements take effect?


Studies show that daily intake of hydrolyzed marine collagen significantly reduces fine wrinkles and improves skin hydration and hair strength after just 8 to 12 weeks. Therefore, we recommend taking Beautybacs® daily to promote sustainable skin and hair health. The drinkable ampoule can be taken directly in the morning before breakfast or diluted in juice or water.
