What is Collagen?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and the main structural protein of connective tissue, giving the skin its firmness, elasticity, and resilience. Additionally, collagen promotes the production of keratin, the main component of hair and nails. This significantly contributes to the health and regeneration of skin, hair, and nails.
Who should take collagen?
From the age of 25, the body's own collagen production begins to decline, which can promote wrinkle formation, hair loss, and brittle nails. From the age of 40, production decreases significantly, which can intensify these effects. But age is not the only factor: UV radiation, smoking, alcohol consumption, as well as lack of sleep and exercise can also reduce collagen production. Therefore, taking collagen can be beneficial for people who want to compensate for natural decline and support the health of their skin, hair, and nails.
Is there vegan collagen?
Vegan collagen does not exist because collagen in its natural form is found exclusively in animal tissue. There are plant-based alternatives that can stimulate the body's own collagen production. However, there are only a few clinical studies proving their effectiveness, while animal collagen is better researched.
Can collagen needs be met naturally?
Since collagen is mainly found in the skin, bones, and tendons of animals, intake through animal foods is relatively low. Moreover, especially high meat consumption 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 is 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 have deliberately chosen to integrate 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 moisture and hair structure firmness after just 8 to 12 weeks. Therefore, we recommend taking Beautybacs® daily to promote sustainable skin and hair health. The drink ampoule can be taken directly in the morning before breakfast or diluted in juice or water.
