Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies, providing structural support to our skin, bones, muscles, and tendons. It plays a vital role in maintaining skin elasticity, firmness, and hydration. However, as we age, our natural collagen production declines, leading to visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
Our Vegan Collagen Factors is formulated with a unique blend of plant-based ingredients that work synergistically to support collagen synthesis and promote youthful-looking skin. Let's explore the key components of our formula:
- Hyaluronic Acid: Known for its exceptional ability to retain moisture, hyaluronic acid helps to hydrate and plump the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles [1].
- Vitamin C from Acerola Cherry: Acerola cherry is a rich source of vitamin C, a crucial nutrient for collagen synthesis. Vitamin C supports the production of collagen fibers, improving skin elasticity and reducing the signs of aging [2].
- Zinc in Highly Absorbed Forms: Zinc is an essential mineral that contributes to the maintenance of healthy skin. Our formula includes zinc in highly absorbed forms to ensure optimal utilization by the body. Zinc supports collagen production, helps repair damaged tissues, and assists in wound healing [3].
- Additional Collagen Cofactors: In addition to hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and zinc, our Vegan Collagen Factors incorporates a selection of other collagen cofactors. These cofactors work in synergy to provide comprehensive support for your skin, eyes, joints, and gut.
Collagen synthesis begins with the formation of procollagen, a precursor molecule, within the cells. Enzymes modify procollagen to create collagen molecules, which then assemble into fibrils and form the structural framework of the skin. Our Vegan Collagen Factors provides the essential nutrients and cofactors necessary for each step of this intricate process.
