Key Benefits

✓ Hydrolyzed collagen peptides (500 mg) provide bioavailable proline, glycine, and hydroxyproline — the amino acid building blocks that stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen in dermis, joints, and connective tissues.
✓ Glutathione (80 mg) is the body's master endogenous antioxidant, produced in the liver. Oral supplementation (especially via liposomal or reduced form) supports skin brightening by inhibiting melanin synthesis via tyrosinase enzyme inhibition.
✓ Biotin (5000 mcg — 1667% DV) is clinically recognized for supporting keratin infrastructure in hair and nails; deficiency is associated with brittle nails and telogen effluvium (diffuse hair thinning).
✓ Vitamin C is an essential cofactor for collagen synthesis — without adequate ascorbate, procollagen cannot be hydroxylated into stable, functional triple-helix collagen. The combination of collagen peptides + Vitamin C is the gold-standard supplementation approach.
✓ Folic Acid (400 mcg) supports rapid cell turnover in hair follicles and nail beds; deficiency is associated with premature greying and impaired hair growth.
✓ Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin, 8 mcg) is essential for DNA synthesis in rapidly dividing cells including hair follicle matrix cells; deficiency causes premature hair greying and loss.
✓ The pectin-based gummy format (vs gelatin) makes this product suitable for vegetarians, with good palatability that supports adherence — a key factor in achieving visible results with collagen supplementation.

Recommended Usage

Scientific Backing

• Collagen Peptides and Skin: A 2014 double-blind RCT in Skin Pharmacology and Physiology (Proksch et al.) found 2.5–5 g/day collagen peptides significantly improved skin elasticity and hydration in women aged 35–55 after 8 weeks.
• Biotin and Hair: A 2017 review in Skin Appendage Disorders found biotin supplementation improved hair growth in 18 of 18 reported cases of biotin-responsive conditions, though the authors note most healthy individuals are not deficient.
• Glutathione and Skin Brightening: A 2014 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in the Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology journal found 500 mg/day oral glutathione lightened skin tone and reduced melanin indices within 4 weeks.
• Collagen + Vitamin C Synergy: Research by Boyera et al. (1998) confirmed that Vitamin C enhances collagen gene expression in fibroblasts by 8-fold, establishing the molecular basis for combining these nutrients.
• Vitamin B Complex and Hair Follicles: A 2019 review (Almohanna et al.) in Dermatology and Therapy confirmed deficiencies in folate, B12, and biotin are associated with diffuse non-scarring alopecia, particularly in premenopausal women.
