Collagen and skin

More than 90% of skin’s dermis is collagen.

Collagen is produced by fibroblast cells in our body; It is the base molecule that weaves our skin together. With aging, the slowing down in collagen production generates a loss of hydration and skin thinning which lead to the appearance of wrinkles.

Gradually, the capillary tissues in the skin become less efficient, thus reducing the skin’s ability to retain nutriments and water. Since skin is less healthy, there is a greater risk for it to develop stretch marks, brown spots and infections; as it no longer has the ability to work as a barrier against bacteria and viruses.

A clinical study carried out in 2008 in Europe showed an important increase in skin’s hydration for the group having used a hydrolyzed collagen, comparatively to the placebo group. Therefore, a supplement as Genacol^® is able to greatly support your body in its efforts of skin regeneration, contributing to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other skin related problems. Since Genacol^® is offered in an easily assimilated form, it is efficient in the body.
