Collagen - The Basics

Collagen is the main building block protein that forms your bones, skin, hair, muscles, tendons, and ligaments

Collagen production reduces by 1% every year from 21 onwards. This leads to loss of skin elasticity, which causes wrinkles, dry, thinning and sagging skin.

Loss of collagen also contributes to hair loss, slow hair growth and brittle hair. It can lead to aching joints and slow recovery post injury.

The collagen in 'Dr V Collagen Boost' is broken down into peptides in the gut then absorbed into the blood stream. These peptides are recognised by fibroblasts as collagen fragments which ‘tricks’ fibroblasts to produce more collagen in response to the 'pretend' collagen breakdown.

More About Collagen

Collagen is the most abundant component of the extracellular matrix and is the key protein to give skin its structure. It is surrounded by water to support smooth, firm skin.

Collagen looks like a rope, it has 3 chains wrapped around each other forming a triple helix. This gives incredible tensile strength to the skin.  

Clinical studies show age related reduction in collagen synthesis can be reversed by oral administration of specific bioactive collagen peptides.

Collagen fibres are synthesized primarily by the fibroblasts in the deeper layers of the skin. This is why replacement must happen orally.

For men & women, all skin types (dry/oily/sensitive) & persons 21 years and over (when collagen starts to decrease).

2. What is the difference between topical application and oral consumption of collagen?

Orally consumed collagen improves collagen uptake in the dermis. Collagen topically applied doesn’t penetrate the epidermis as the molecule is too large. It just acts as a moisturiser in this setting.
