The benefits of collagen
Collagen is an essential structural protein abundantly present in our body. It makes up about 30% of the total proteins in the body and plays a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of the structure of the skin, hair, nails, joints, and bones. Indeed, from age 25, collagen production decreases and signs of aging appear: wrinkles and fine lines, skin sagging, joint problems, digestive disorders. The benefits of collagen are numerous and varied for the body and skin:
For the skin
Collagen is essential for skin firmness and elasticity. Indeed, it contributes to the regeneration of skin cells and the reduction of wrinkles and fine lines. Moreover, from age 40, the body produces about 1% less collagen each year, which accentuates these signs of aging.
For hair and nails
Collagen helps to strengthen hair and nails by providing the amino acids necessary for their growth and strength. This amino acid support is particularly beneficial for people with fragile or brittle hair and nails.
For joints
Collagen helps maintain the health of cartilage and connective tissues, which is beneficial for joints and can help reduce joint pain. It is therefore a valuable ally for athletes and elderly people, who are often prone to these pains.
Some definitions about collagen
There are several types and forms of collagen, each having specific properties and particular benefits. The choice of type of collagen will depend on your specific needs in terms of beauty and well-being.
Bovine collagen
Bovine collagen is extracted from the skin, bones, and connective tissues of cattle. It is mainly composed of type I and III collagen, both essential for the health of skin, hair, nails, and joints. Bovine collagen is known for its high content of glycine and proline, amino acids crucial for collagen synthesis in our body.
Marine collagen
Marine collagen is extracted from fish skin. It is highly bioavailable, meaning it is easily absorbed by the body. It is composed of 94% type I collagen, the most abundant in our body, making it a valuable source for our tissues.
Collactive collagen
Collactive collagen is a unique blend of marine collagen and elastin, reproducing the essential proportions for skin health. This specific combination contributes to skin firmness and elasticity while promoting its regeneration.
Naticol collagen
Naticol collagen is a high-quality hydrolyzed marine collagen. It has clinically proven effectiveness on wrinkle depth and skin hydration restoration. It is also particularly appreciated for its beneficial effects on hair and nail health.
Hydrolyzed collagen
Hydrolyzed collagen is broken down into smaller peptides for better absorption. It is particularly effective for skin, hair, and nails. Moreover, its breakdown facilitates its assimilation by the body, thus optimizing its benefits.
Collagen peptides
Collagen peptides are small chains of amino acids that are easily absorbed by the body and used for collagen formation. They are therefore essential for collagen synthesis in our body.
Which collagens are used by D-LAB?
D-LAB NUTRICOSMETICS incorporates premium hydrolyzed marine collagen in its dietary supplements. This collagen comes from fish skin sourced from sustainable and ethical origins. Thanks to hydrolysis, it is easily digestible and absorbable by the body, thus enhancing its positive effects on skin, hair, nails, and joints.
D-LAB has chosen the most effective and powerful collagen on the market! A French marine collagen, hydrolyzed and of low molecular weight, offering clinically proven anti-aging results. Our collagen stands out for its marine origin, a form recognized as the best assimilated by the body.
Thanks to a careful hydrolysis process, the collagen is broken down into smaller particles, with a molecular weight of about 2,000 Da, ensuring optimal absorption. This unique Collactive collagen formula, composed of 94% type I marine collagen and 6% elastin fibers, precisely reproduces the essential proportions for skin health. From 2 grams per day, our collagen has demonstrated its effectiveness against wrinkle depth and skin dehydration.
The dermis becomes more flexible and the skin firmer. The hydrolyzed collagen used by D-LAB is extracted from wild fish sourced from responsible and French fisheries certified by MarinTrust. It is obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of freshly collected wild fish skins (daily collection) in Boulogne-sur-Mer.
D-LAB, expert in optimizing collagen for nutricosmetics, has created new formulas based on collagen and vitamin C. Why this combination? Vitamin C plays a crucial role in converting proline into hydroxyproline, a process necessary for collagen formation. Without adequate vitamin C intake, the body cannot synthesize or store collagen. It is therefore the perfect ally to help assimilate Pro-Collagen powder and to stimulate endogenous collagen synthesis in the body.
D-LAB offers a complete range of collagen-based products.
- L'Absolu de Collagène, a dietary supplement in tablet form, contains 2 grams of collagen.
- Pro-Collagen powders combine collagen and vitamin C to stimulate collagen production, as well as other active ingredients such as minerals and plants recognized for their effects. One of these actives is supported by a clinical study targeting a specific issue: skin, slimming, digestion, joints... Thus, all Pro-Collagen powders offer not only the hydrating and plumping benefits of collagen for the skin but also the antioxidant action of vitamin C, which enhances collagen absorption. A 2-in-1 supplement that, thanks to the addition of specific natural actives for each treatment, becomes a 3-in-1 supplement!
Clinical results
D-LAB NUTRICOSMETICS collagen dietary supplements have proven their effectiveness in clinical studies. They have shown their ability to reduce wrinkle depth, restore skin hydration, and strengthen hair and nails. These results testify to D-LAB NUTRICOSMETICS' commitment to excellence, effectiveness, and quality.
Collagen and hyaluronic acid
The combination of marine collagen and hyaluronic acid offers many benefits for the skin, hair, nails, joints, detoxification, cell regeneration, and general well-being. Collagen strengthens the structure of the skin and hair, while hyaluronic acid ensures optimal hydration. This synergy is therefore a real asset for health and beauty.
Advantages of the combination
Hyaluronic acid is known for its ability to retain water, which can help keep the skin hydrated and prevent dryness. The combination of collagen and hyaluronic acid thus allows for firmer, smoother, and visibly younger skin. It also contributes to improving the health of hair and nails, as well as detoxification and cell regeneration.
Effects on the skin
The combination of collagen and hyaluronic acid can help maximize skin hydration and minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Moreover, this synergy can help increase skin elasticity, reduce signs of aging, and improve skin texture.
Collagen, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C dietary supplement
Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis. It contributes to collagen formation to ensure the normal functioning of skin, teeth, gums, cartilage, and bones. Thus, a dietary supplement combining collagen, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C is particularly effective. This formula is all the more beneficial as it combines the benefits of these three essential ingredients for radiant skin and overall well-being.
D-LAB's best seller in the collagen powder range is Pro-Collagen New Skin Raspberry, formulated with Collactive collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and zinc.
How to choose your collagen?
The quality and origin of collagen are essential criteria for choosing a dietary supplement. It is equally important to consider the bioavailability of collagen, that is, its ability to be absorbed and used effectively by the body.
Quality and origin
It is preferable to choose high-quality collagen from sustainable and ethical sources. D-LAB NUTRICOSMETICS products are made in France, in a green factory, with high-quality ingredients from Green Tech.
Essential criteria
A good collagen dietary supplement must be easy to digest and absorb. It must also be free from contaminants and harmful substances. Moreover, high-quality collagen is hydrolyzed, meaning it is broken down into smaller peptides for better absorption. It is also essential to choose products whose effectiveness is clinically proven.
Collagen treatments
A collagen treatment can be beneficial to strengthen skin, hair, and nails, and to support joint health. It is recommended to follow a collagen treatment for at least 3 months to obtain visible results. This duration is necessary to allow skin cell regeneration and new collagen production.
The importance of regular consumption
Regular consumption of collagen dietary supplements is essential to maintain an optimal level of collagen in the body and to enjoy all its benefits. From age 25, collagen production begins to decrease, so regular supplementation helps compensate for this loss. It is recommended to take collagen every day, preferably on an empty stomach for better absorption.
