Description
Collagen is one of the skin’s 3 essential building blocks, alongside elastin and hyaluronic acid. Its production declines naturally with age. Over time, collagen fibers stretch: the skin becomes less dense and plumped, the tissues slacken and deep wrinkles develop.
WHAT IS COLLAGEN?
– Collagen is a triple helix of alpha-chains of amino acids, which produces solid fibers used for body structure.
– Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body
– Collagen is the main component of connective tissue (skin, tendons, cartilage, bone)
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COLLAGEN? WHAT IS SKIN COLLAGEN?
There are 23 different forms of collagen, including three main types: type I, II and III collagen.
Type I collagen is the precursor of collagen fibrils. It is found in abundance, along with type II and III collagen, in the fibrous stromal matrix of our bones, tendons and skin.
Up to 95% of the collagen in the dermis is type I and III collagen.
Biocyte uses VerisolTM I and III collagen, which is the only source of collagen scientifically proven to be able to repair and restore collagen levels in the body.
Collagen Express® combines vitamin C and VerisolTM collagen.Vitamin C is recognized for its ability to stimulate collagen production.
