Vitakruid Beaute Collagen complex Keratin Hyaluronic acid

Vitakruid Beaute Collagen complex Keratin Hyaluronic acid
Collagen, hyaluronic acid, and keratin in food
Various building blocks for our skin can be found in food, but often in parts that we are not used to eating. For example, collagen can be found in fish with skin and bone broth. Hyaluronic acid is also found in bone broth. Keratin is mainly found in the indigestible parts of animals such as wool and nails, but we usually do not eat these.

Our body can produce collagen, hyaluronic acid, and keratin from amino acids. These amino acids are found in meat, fish, dairy, eggs, legumes, grains, and nuts.

The Moldavian Dragonhead (Dracocephalum moldavica) is a herbaceous plant with a citrus scent, originating from temperate regions in Asia such as China, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. The plant, which has beautiful purple flowers, is often used as an ornamental plant. The leaves are edible and add a refreshing, citrus flavor to salads, tea, and other dishes. And, as the name suggests, the flowers of this plant resemble dragon heads.

Keratin: known from shampoos
Keratin is a protein primarily present in our skin, hair, and nails. It plays an essential role in structure and strength. Keratin is especially known as a component of hair, which is made up of about 90% keratin. However, we also find it in other places, such as in the epidermis and in the nails.

Cynatine® HNS: the best absorbable, water-soluble form
Cynatine® HNS is a patented form of keratin that ensures effective absorption. This unique formula consists of biologically available keratin peptides. These smaller molecules can be more easily absorbed by the body and transported more efficiently to the target cells. This allows them to penetrate deeper into the skin, hair, and nails.

Hyaluronic acid: hydration at the cellular level
Hyaluronic acid has the ability to hold large amounts of water. It plays a significant role in the skin: nearly half of the hyaluronic acid in our body is found in this organ. Good hydration is also important for the appearance of our hair and nails.

Haplex®Plus for optimal absorption
The patented hyaluronic acid Haplex®Plus is produced through bacterial fermentation. It has an exceptionally low molecular weight of between 10,000 and 100,000 daltons, which ensures excellent absorption in the small intestine. It can then be efficiently transported to the body cells.

Collagen: the foundation for healthy skin
Collagen is an important protein in our body, primarily found in connective tissues such as skin, tendons, and cartilage. Although our body produces collagen itself, this production gradually decreases from our 25th year of life.

Solugel® is the leader in the collagen field
In Beauté® Collagen Complex, we have chosen collagen from Solugel®, the leader in the collagen field. This collagen is extremely pure, well-absorbed, and clinically tested.

Hydrolyzed collagen peptides for optimal absorption
Our collagen supplement contains hydrolyzed collagen peptides. These peptides are obtained by hydrolyzing gelatin derived from cattle. The collagen proteins are broken down into smaller pieces with natural enzymes, allowing our body to absorb them better. In a clinical study, collagen was found in the blood within 15 minutes after ingestion.

Collagen type I
For our collagen, we have chosen collagen type I. 90% of the collagen in our body consists of this type. Moreover, most types of tissues use type I, compared to type II and III.

Best amino acid profile available
Collagen, like all other proteins, is made up of amino acids. In total, there are 20 amino acids in our body, of which 18 are found in collagen. In collagen, proline, glycine, and hydroxyproline are the largest components. Beauté® Collagen Complex is therefore rich in these amino acids.

Sustainable and animal-friendly
Solugel® is extremely sustainable. The grass-fed cattle are raised in the pastures of Argentina, on farms with animal-friendly protocols. All their raw materials are also fully traceable thanks to the official origin certificates.
