A friend recently said to me: "With age I noticed a loss of skin elasticity. Is there anything I can do to improve it?" I told her the following.
A main reason for the loss of skin elasticity is a simultaneous loss of collagen that occurs with aging. This is problematic because collagen is of crucial importance for our health and our well -being. In fact, it makes 25 to 35 percent of the total protein content of the body. As a connective tissue protein of the choice, collagen has a high level of strength and, together with elastin and keratin, is responsible for the strength and elasticity of the skin - and its degradation leads to age -related folds.
Since collagen is the most important structural protein in the skin and other connective tissue, a particularly effective method to improve skin elasticity is the addition of collagen. However, it should be noted that not all collagen products are the same. A specific collagen peptide called Verisol (which is contained in many brand collagen products) was clinically examined in humans and has proven to be particularly effective for skin elasticity. Specifically, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study1 with 69 women between the ages of 35 and 55, which received 2.5 or 5 g verisol collage peptides or placebo once a day for eight weeks. Skin elasticity, skin moisture, skin loss and skin coincidence were measured objectively after the start of the supplementation after four and eight weeks of regular intake. The skin elasticity was also assessed four weeks after the last intake of Verisol collage peptides. The results showed that the skin elasticity in both verisol dosing groups showed a statistically significant improvement compared to placebo (p <0.05). In addition, after 4 weeks of aftercare, a statistically significantly significant skin elasticity was found in older women after 4 weeks after treatment. A positive influence of verisol was also observed in a subgroup analysis in terms of skin moisture and skin evaporation.
Of course Verisol is not the only clinically examined collagen. Two others are Naticol and Bioell. In the research2 it was also shown that Naticol wrinkles reduced, improves skin elasticity, the skin resistance receives and improves skin tone and radiation. Likewise, clinical research3 has shown that biocelle drought/scaling of the skin, lines/wrinkles and increased collagen production reduces - and at the same time promotes healthy joints.
