Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® acts from within

It boosts the level of collagen and hyaluronic acid in your skin

Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® contains a blend of hydrolysed collagen and active ingredients to act from within. The following provides an overview of the scientific evidence and the hypothesis related to how the hydrolysed collagen contained in Pure GOLD COLLAGEN^® works. The hypotheses are based on extensive scientific literature.

A) When administered orally, hydrolysed collagen reaches the small intestine where can be digested to form dipeptides and tripeptides or free amino acids.

B) These peptides are easily absorbed across the small intestine membrane [1] where they enter the blood stream [2, 3].

C) Through blood vessels collagen peptides are then distributed in the human body and in particular in the dermis of the skin [3, 4] where an in vivo experiment has proven that they can remain up to 14 days [4].

D) Once in the skin the collagen peptides can act with a double mechanism, i) Collagen peptides and free amino acids provide the building blocks for the formation of collagen and elastin fibres; ii) Collagen peptides stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts [5, 6] and the synthesis of collagen [5] and hyaluronic acid [6]. Based on the hypothesis drawn from the referred scientific literature the benefits of fibroblasts activation can be summarised as follows:

I) Increased collagen synthesis.

II) Increased hyaluronic acid synthesis.
