FAQ COLLAGEN



What is collagen?

What is collagen?

Collagen is the most abundant structural protein we possess, and it plays an incredibly important role.

 

Collagen is present in our skin, hair, nails, intestines, joints, tendons and even bones. It's this protein that gives our skin its elasticity and firmness, that little "bounce" that gives us that youthful, luminous appearance.

 

It also acts as a kind of "glue" that holds our cells together. If you want your skin to stay supple, your joints to function without pain, and your intestines to assimilate properly, collagen is a must!

 

Questions

What is collagen used for?

Collagen is a structural protein present in our body that ensures tissue cohesion, elasticity and regeneration. We can think of it as the invisible foundation of our body. It is crucial for the skin, hair, joints and even digestion.

From the age of 25, we lose around 1% of our collagen every year. This leads to wrinkles, weaker hair and nails, joint pain and can even affect our digestion.

Taking quality collagen supplements can help make up for this loss, but you should opt for hydrolyzed marine collagen with a low molecular weight, vitamin C and, if possible, benefiting from a clinical study just like the collagen selected by D-LAB NUTRICOSMECTICS.

Is our collagen effective?

D-LAB has selected the most interesting and powerful collagen on the market, a low-molecular-weight hydrolyzed French marine collagen with clinically proven anti-aging results. Thanks to a meticulous hydrolysis process, we break down collagen into smaller particles with a molecular weight of around 2000 daltons.

 

This unique formula, composed of 94% type I marine collagen and 6% elastin, precisely reproduces the proportions essential to skin health. From as little as 2 grams a day, our collagen has proven remarkably effective in reducing the depth of wrinkles and restoring skin hydration.

 

And let's not forget the importance of vitamin C, which we include in most of our formulas, as it stimulates endogenous collagen synthesis, reinforcing the benefits of our cures.

What type of collagen is present in our formulas?

Our Pure Collagen and our collagen-based powders (except for Pro-Collagen Flexibility) contain a patented, hydrolyzed type I collagen. Type I collagen is the most abundant type of collagen in the human body, and the most versatile, as it is mainly present in skin, bone, tendons and connective tissue. It is known to be well assimilated by the body.

 

Type I collagen plays an essential role in skin structure. It helps maintain skin firmness, elasticity and hydration. It is also involved in tissue regeneration and repair mechanisms. As a reminder, the efficacy of our 2g/day dosage has been clinically proven to reduce wrinkles, hydrate and firm the skin, enhance hair beauty and improve joint well-being.

 

While our Pro-Collagen Suppleness contains type I and III collagen.

Why take collagen from the age of 25?

At 25, our production of collagen and hyaluronic acid is at its peak, playing an essential role in skin firmness, elasticity and hydration.

 

Over time, however, these molecules become much less abundant, leading to sagging skin, loss of firmness and the appearance of wrinkles. We lose around 1% of our collagen and hyaluronic acid every year.

 

So, to preserve your youthful capital and delay the first signs of aging, we recommend that you start as early as age 25 with our cure Duo Nutrition-Absolute or its powder alternative Pro-Collagen Skin Renewal. You can see positive results as early as the first month of treatment.

Is it worth starting collagen at 50?

On the contrary, 50 is perfectly within the age range for our anti-aging cures, as the reduction in collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid over time will give way to much looser skin and the appearance of wrinkles. Collagen fills in wrinkles and restores the skin's firmness. As for hyaluronic acid, it fills the skin with water, giving it more plumpness and a much fuller face.

What is the molecular weight of our collagen?

All our collagen-based formulas contain the same type I hydrolyzed marine collagen with a molecular weight of around 2000 Da. This low molecular weight enhances its absorption, bioavailability and ability to reach target tissues, reinforcing its beneficial effects on skin, joints and many other body tissues.

Our Pro-Collagen suppleness contains another type of hydrolyzed marine collagen, but type I and II without elastin, with a molecular weight of around 2000 Da.

What's the difference between Pro-Collagen Powders and Absolute Collagen?

Collagen Absolute is a AbsoluteIt contains just one active ingredient: collagen, dosed at 2g/day. The Pro-Collagen range, is made up of hyper-complete powders including vitamin C to further stimulate collagen production, as well as other active ingredients such as minerals and plants recognized for their action, including another active ingredient with a clinical study to target a specific problem.

 

Our Pure Collagen will act on skin elasticity and firmness, wrinkles and fine lines, hair structure, bones, digestive tract and even joints.

Powders, on the other hand, will have a broader spectrum of actions, as they combine collagen (also dosed at 2g/day) with other assets : 

- Pro-Collagen New Skin (collagen + hyaluronic acid) : firmness and rehydration

- Pro-Collagen Slimming (collagen + mate / SOD / chrome) : silhouette/fat-burning/anti-sugar

- Pro-Collagen Strong Hair (collagen + keratin) : anti-fall and strength

- Pro-Collagen Digestion (collagen + pro/prebiotics + glutamine) : digestive well-being

- Pro-Collagen Suppleness (collagen + verbena + claw of the devil + MSM, ...) : joint well-being

 

, Pure Collagen in tablet form is designed to offer a convenient solution for those who prefer a dietary supplement in tablet rather than powder form. Tablets are a suitable option for many people and offer the convenience of consumption without the need to mix powder into drinks or food.

Why choose our collagen?

Our marine collagen is much more effective than bovine or vegan collagen, as it is more easily absorbed by the body.

Our collagen is hydrolyzed to facilitate maximum assimilation by the body, with a molecular weight of around 2,000 Da.

The effectiveness of our collagen on skin, hair, slimming and reducing joint pain has been clinically proven.
