Collagen Science

The Science of Collagen Supplements

In our younger years, our skin is mostly made up of water & collagen - up to 80 %. Collagen is a major structural component. That's why we need to protect it from environmental stresses, like UV damage, pollution, hormones, free radicals, which all contribute to aging.

It is through proper daily skin nutrition, combined with proper rest and exercise, that we can slow down the aging process by way of stimulating our own body's natural collagen production.

What is VERISOL^® Collagen?

 VERISOL^® consists of special collagen peptides - important components to support healthy skin.

Taken orally, Bioactive Collagen Peptides^® of VERISOL^® are specially optimized for influencing the skin's collagen metabolism directly from the inside.

VERISOL^® Collagen Peptides are the primary ingredient in Sparkle products.

Thanks to this, taking Sparkle daily helps to improve skin elasticity and reduces the formation of wrinkles.

Clinically Proven Studies

Improves Skin Elasticity

A study in higher skin elasticity was conducted with 69 women aged between 35 and 55 years old, revealed that VERISOL^® leads to an average of 7% increase in skin elasticity compared to a placebo treatment.

For the sub-set of women in the study that were aged 50 years and over, the increase in skin elasticity was 15% compared to a placebo treatment.

This effect was measured after 4 weeks of daily intake and it was still the case when the women in the study were measured at 8 weeks and finally at 12 weeks.

Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles

A second study done on the reduction of wrinkles involved 114 women between age 45 and 65 showed that the daily intake of VERISOL^® significantly reduced wrinkles after 4 weeks and the collagen in the skin increased by 60%.
