Frequently Asked Questions
- ▼What is collagen?
- Collagen is a protein found naturally in the body, the single most important factor in keeping our skin smooth and resilient. Collagen production in the body is believed to decrease beginning around our late twenties. Young skin can contain up to 80% collagen. In our 30s, the amount of collagen begins to decrease by about 1-2% each year. When the skin starts losing its resilience against external forces like sun, pollution, diet, and smoking, lines and wrinkles begin to develop. .
- ▼What is The Solution™ Beauty collagen?
- The Solution™ Beauty collagen is an anti-wrinkle product, specifically a hydrolyzed collagen powder that is taken orally and works from within. The product counteracts the skin's aging process and reduces lines and wrinkles. Collagen is also naturally found in protein-rich food, but in order for the skin to benefit from the intake, the collagen must be broken down into exact peptide lengths. Proteins in food are not hydrolyzed, and therefore have no such effect on the skin.
- ▼How/why does collagen work?
- There are different types of collagen, type 1 works on skin and type 2 on joints. The Solution™ contains type I collagen. This particular collagen protein is hydrolyzed (broken down with the help of enzymes) into peptides, or a chain of amino acids. The unique, controlled process in which specific enzymes break down the collagen into peptides makes the wrinkle-reducing effect of this product possible. These peptides (developed by Verisol®) have been shown in double-blind studies to have a positive effect on skin's elasticity, lines and wrinkles. Read more about the study here.
- ▼What is the difference between collagen in creams that you apply to the skin and collagen powder that you drink?
- Studies show a significant effect on the skin when eating/drinking Verisol® collagen. This is the collagen we use in The Solution®. By consuming collagen in this way, all skin, both on the body and the face, will benefit. To take good care of the skin, creams help to add moisture and protect us from sun damage. Consult with professionals about which products may be best for your skin type.
- ▼Is the collagen powder animal-based?
- Yes, the hydrolyzed collagen powder is extracted from bovine sources (cattle) in connection with food production.
- ◄How often do I have to use The Solution™ Beauty collagen?
- Collagen powder should be taken daily over time for best effects. Studies of facial skin have been conducted over a period of eight weeks, while the study involving cellulite was conducted over a period of six months. It does not matter if you forget to take the product for a day or two, but if you stop taking it all together, the effect will slowly disappear. You can take the powder at any time of the day.
- ◄What can I mix The Solution™ Beauty collagen powder with?
- The Solution™ Beauty collagen is a powder with a neutral smell and taste, which can be mixed into both food and drink, hot or cold. Take it as part of your daily morning routine, mix it into your coffee or tea, juice, yogurt, porridge, smoothie or simply in a glass of cold water.
