FAQ

What people frequently ask us

What is the difference between Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® and applying skincare creams?: Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^®works from the inside to reach the inner deeper layer of the skin (dermis) where skincare creams only reach the outer layer of the skin (epidermis).
Where does the hydrolysed collagen in Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® come from?: Our hydrolysed collagen Peptan™ produced by Rousselot SAS of France contains a blend of the best quality hydrolysed collagen extracted from farmed Tilapia and Pangasius fish. All fish used by Rousselot only come from establishments registered by the European Union for the import of edible fish, fit for human consumption and guaranteed by health certificates signed by official veterinarians.
What are the active ingredients in Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^®?: Hydrolysed collagen, borage oil, vitamins (B6, C and E), N-acetylglucosamine and hyaluronic acid. A daily dose (50ml) of Pure GOLD COLLAGEN® contains 5,000mg of hydrolysed collagen.'
Why liquid over tablets or pills?: Aside from being much easier to swallow, liquid is more readily absorbed as soon as it enters the stomach. It is not uncommon to have pills that are poorly absorbed. Each daily dosage (50ml) of Pure GOLD COLLAGEN® contains 5,000 mg of hydrolysed collagen which is up to 100 times more powerful than a typical collagen pill. Pills and capsules may cost less, but in reality, liquid represents far better value due to more hydrolysed collagen being absorbed and distributed in the body.
What does Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® tastes like?: We describe it as a fusion of peach and passion fruit flavours with a little spicy kick.
Has any research been done to show that your product works and how can I trust such a new product?: Numerous research studies have been carried out on the active ingredients. Key positive results from two clinical trials showed an increase in hydration and reduction in deep wrinkles over a period of time. More details can be found on our website www.gold-collagen.com under ‘Skincare Science and Research/Clinical Trials’ section. Although new to UK and European markets, collagen drinks are very popular in Japan and the Far East where over 100 million collagen drinks are sold each year. Some say this is the secret to their beautiful skin. It is set to become an important part of the beauty regime.
Is Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® a medicinal or a pharmaceutical drug?: No. Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® is a food supplement.
Has Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® been tested on animals?: We do not test our products on animals. We use only human volunteers.
Why is collagen important?: Collagen is the main structural element of the skin and accounts for over 75% of young and healthy skin.
How does Pure Gold COLLAGEN^® work in the dermis?: Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® works from inside out. Once absorbed in the small intestine, it is distributed through the blood vessels to the dermis. This results in proliferation of fibroblasts and increased collagen production.
Who should take Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^®?: Anyone above the age of 25 who cares about the health of their skin and does not want make-up or cosmetic surgery to be the only options. We market Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® to consumers who understand that “we are what we eat” in essence to complement their diet and who wants a more hydrated, firmer, more elastic skin all over the body.
Can I drink it any time of the day?: Yes, however, Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® is most effective when taken on an empty stomach.
How long do I need to take it?: 1 bottle per day for at least 4 weeks, preferably 8 weeks for best results in skin hydration and up to 12 weeks for best results in the reduction of deep wrinkles.
Why does it take 4 to 8 weeks to see the results?: It is like going to the gym, or being on a diet. If you want to get fit you go to the gym regularly and it takes a few weeks to feel the benefits, but after 4-8 weeks you will feel much healthier and see the results. This is the same for Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^®.
What happens if I stop taking Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^®?: The condition your skin was in before you started taking Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® was the result of many years of skin deterioration. Similarly, should you stop using Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^®, the results you have obtained will not disappear overnight, but will reduce gradually. After 4-8 weeks you decide. In order to maintain the results, you can take it less regularly or have a short break and start a new programme a few weeks later.
Are there any preservatives or artificial colours in Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^®?: Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^®does not contain any preservatives or artificial colours.
Does Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® have any side effects?: Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® contains fish and soy derivatives and like other food products may cause allergic reactions. If you have experienced allergic reactions to these ingredients in the past, do not take Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^®.
Can I take Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® while I am pregnant or breastfeeding?: We recommend that pregnant and breast-feeding women, in general, do not take any food supplements unless recommended by their doctor.
Does it contain any sweeteners and how many calories?: Each 50ml bottle of Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® contains the sweetener (sucralose) at very low amount (4mg) and only 33kCal.
Nowadays we hear a lot about BOTOX^® and JUVEDERM^® fillers as the cure to reduce wrinkles. How does this product complement or compete with such treatments?: Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® can act as a complement to those treatments since it’s non-invasive. Being a food supplement, Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® is a natural way of looking after your skin, unlike prescription medicines such as BOTOX^® injected into muscles which can cause serious and life threatening side effects. JUVEDERM^® can also have side effects such as redness, pain, firmness, swelling, and bumps.
