What Are the Other Components That Affect the Skin Along with Collagen?

Vitamin C:

Supports collagen synthesis. Therefore, it is important to use vitamin C with collagen.*

Hyaluronic Acid:

It has a unique capacity to hold water in the skin, increasing moisturization, and helping the skin and tissues to be well lubricated and moist.1

Biotin:

Contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and normal skin and normal energy-yielding metabolism.*

Selenium:

Contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and normal nails.*

Zinc:

Contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, nails, skin, and bones.*

Green Tea Extract:

Due to the polyphenols in its content, green tea extract is known for its antioxidant effects. It shows good penetration into the skin, helps to retain moisture and give elasticity to the skin, and neutralizes reactive oxygen species, helping to prevent aging.2

Grape Seed Extract:

Grape seed extract has a high content of antioxidants and shows free radical scavenging effects, making it useful in protecting the skin from damage caused by free radicals. It has been shown to significantly protect the body against early (skin) aging.3

Copper:

Supports the production of collagen and elastin.4 It also contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissues, normal hair and skin pigmentation, normal energy-yielding metabolism, and normal immune system function.*

Maca Root Powder:

Maca root powder helps to increase endurance and energy levels, libido and performance, and improve sperm production and quality in men. It also has positive effects on bone mineral density and supports the suppression of prostate growth.5,6

Rhodiola Powder:

Rhodiola powder contributes to the maintenance of physical endurance, the reduction and prolongation of fatigue symptoms, the increase of glutathione peroxidase enzyme, reducing exercise-induced oxidative stress, and the protection and repair of neurons.7

Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) and Vitamin B6:

Vitamin B5 and Vitamin B6 contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.*

Vitamin E:

With its powerful antioxidant capacity, vitamin E helps to capture free radicals and prevent the damage they can cause.8
