Collagen is a protein that is part of connective tissues. Unfortunately, modern man is aware of this substance exactly as much as he is about his own appearance and skin condition. Collagen is widely known as a substance “responsible” for the strength and elasticity of the skin.
Even less is known about marine collagen, which is now included in many dietary supplements.
Does the body produce enough collagen?
Scientists look at collagen as a protein found in human bones, muscles and dermis which maintains the structure of these parts of the body. The human body is regarded in scientific circles as a kind of factory for the production of useful substances, including collagen.
The production of the substance starts to slow down after a person reaches the age of 20. This is only outwardly visible in people who are often exposed to the sun, live in environmentally dirty regions, eat unhealthy food, are heavy smokers and whose health condition is caused by various genetic abnormalities.
We offer a high-quality complex that supports collagen production.
Collagen Select
Collagen Select is a food supplement aimed at women who want to maintain beautiful, firm and healthy skin.
The product has a 9-component formula and tropical taste, which will appeal to all women. VERISOL® collagen hydrolysate plays a key role in the Collagen Select food supplement as it contributes to increased skin elasticity and reduction of wrinkles.

Collagen stores are depleted by half by the age of 50. Daily use of supplements containing this substance cannot increase its level in the body, but does stimulate its production.
According to clinical studies, regular consumption of collagen supplements helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles and increase the elasticity of the dermis while making the skin look moisturised.
Collagen found in cosmetics and food has a different structure.
To say that all collagen found in nature has a similar structure is like saying that all cosmetics containing this substance has the same effect. The same cannot be said for collagen-rich foods such as beef, pork and fish.
A 2015 study shows that collagen found in fish enters the bloodstream one and a half times faster than the same substance found in beef and pork. However, it cannot be said that any of these products is not beneficial. The process of absorption of nutrients by the body is primarily influenced by the molecular weight of the latter.
Once collagen is applied to the skin, it starts to look younger (clean and smooth). While moisturising cosmetics offer the hope of an instant effect, the same cannot be said of nutritional supplements. Their effect is much slower than we would like. The fact is that vitamin supplements, once inside, stimulate the production of collagen by adjusting the work of internal organs.
The instant result obtained from a care product disappears just as quickly. A nutritional supplement needs more time, but the result will also please for a longer time.
In scientific circles they talk about a time frame of six weeks. Researchers claim that after this time a rejuvenation effect is achieved. It was proved during clinical trials that in some cases the results appear after three weeks. It all depends on the peculiarities of the body, age and the pattern of taking the supplement. In the end, sagging skin becomes firm and lightens if it is covered with pigment spots before treatment.
It should be noted that taking nutritional supplements has a beneficial effect not only on the skin of the face and body, but also on the work of internal organs. The amino acids present in collagen help the organs to produce keratin, a substance necessary for the health of the scalp.
The hair will get its dose of beauty provided that collagen production is intensive. For example, the formation of grey hairs is slowed down in older people and the hair regains its former volume (as we know, the hairs on the head thin with age).
We cannot fail to mention the benefits for nails. They become stronger, and the joints of the fingers become “saturated” with collagen and acquire a beautiful shape (joints can become crooked with age).
Does everyone need supplements?
Many people who take responsible care of their skin believe that they do not need to take collagen supplements. However, this is not supported by beauty experts. And here’s why.
The dermis is made up of three layers:
1. The outer epidermis.
2. The dermis.
3. The hypodermis.
When having a traditional face and body treatment only the epidermis is nourished. For people of age in need of facial oval correction this is not enough. As a person ages, they need to maintain many of the external factors which determine a level of skin grooming and health, but cosmetics can’t help them do that.
It turns out that the care of beauty begins from within – only younger people can do without food supplements which includes collagen when their appearance is satisfactory even with the state of the environment and the quality of nutrition does not meet conventional standards.
