1. MARINE COLLAGEN

A NATURAL FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENT TO BOOST/RESTORE HYDRATION, TONICITY AND ELASTICITY OF TISSUES

A pure, made-in-France, essential ingredient with a neutral taste to help boost and maintain the natural synthesis of collagen fibres

Fish skin, a resource previously unexploited, has 7 times less carbon impact than bovine collagen!

Collagen was naturally consumed long ago by our ancestors, whose diet had a higher animal collagen content (skin, cartilage and bones). Collagen is compatible with a paleo- friendly diet.

Traditionally used in Japan, where it is known to be particularly biocompatible or bioactive, as well as ensuring good bioavailability

• It consists of proteins in the form of hydrolysed peptides (enzymatic hydrolysis) from bioactive natural marine collagen developed using a sustainable developmental strategy
• Molecular weight less than 4 kilodaltons (kDa). It is a low molecular weight, optimised for maximum assimilation and better biological efficiency (bio-active peptides). In comparison, collagen before hydrolysis has a molecular weight of 300 kDa
• Particularly rich in the amino acids glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, which are involved in collagen synthesis and connective tissue regeneration
• Also rich in glutamine, which contributes to the acid-base balance and repair of intestinal cells, and therefore supports the immune system
• GMO free - Fat free - Carbohydrate and sugar free - Preservative free
• No ionisation treatment - No radioactivity
• Strict manufacturing standards - Quality in accordance with ISO 9001 - ISO 22000
• Halal certification
• 100% fish origin: no risk of BSE for bovine collagen, no risk of avian flu for chicken collagen
• Peptides are derived from natural collagen, which is cut into smaller pieces (enzymatic hydrolysis) which are easier to digest
• Neutral taste, add to water, yoghurt or cottage cheese
• DO NOT MIX WITH PRODUCTS THAT ARE TOO HOT - AVOID COOKING
• To boost/restore moisture levels and the elasticity of the skin for an anti-ageing effect.
• Also promotes intestinal comfort.

Points to note:

• Collagen is naturally present in the body (muscles, skin, bones, tendons, cartilage, hair, nails, etc.) and plays a major role in providing support and/or increasing elasticity.
• From the age of 25, collagen production in humans decreases by 1.5% per year.
• From the age of 45, the body produces about 1/3 less collagen, resulting in reduced tissue tone (joints, muscles, skin, etc.), loss of mobility and loss of the overall "youthful" appearance.
• Current diets – which are often unbalanced with over-emphasis on ready meals and lean meat without bones or cartilage – leads to lower external collagen consumption.
• An additional supply of bioactive collagen - rich in key amino acids that make up type I collagen - helps to stimulate and restart the body's own collagen metabolism. In joint cartilage, the hydrolysed peptides contained in our marine collagen also stimulate chondrocyte production - cells that are involved in type II collagen synthesis.
• For the hair too! Marine collagen supports the activity of the stem cells of the hair bulb in depth and thus boosts the production of keratin. This protein is responsible for the strength of hair and nails.

Studies and scientific evidence:

• A supplementation of 5g/day of bioactive fish collagen peptides was performed for 12 to 14 weeks.
• Significant results were observed as early as 6 weeks on various functions
• SKIN BEAUTY: a significant improvement in skin hydration (+23%), a significant increase in skin elasticity (+24%) as well as a decrease in skin relief - "wrinkles" (-9%) have been shown. An overall "anti-ageing" action that can be explained in part by a better defence reaction of the skin against the effects of time and the environment (slowing down of endogenous synthesis, UV radiation, pollution). Clinical study over 12 weeks.

Collagen has a nourishing action "from within": it can therefore be used in addition to a topical solution (e.g. cosmetic cream). The effect of the latter will inevitably be limited when applied to the skin because the skin barrier prevents “foreign” active ingredients from being absorbed. However, when we drink or ingest collagen, most of it is absorbed by the intestinal walls and put to good use by the skin.

2. HYALURONIC ACID

THE EXPERT COMPONENT FOR "SMOOTHING" DEHYDRATED SKIN

A molecule naturally present in the body and widely distributed in our epithelial and nervous tissue

Retains more than 1000 times its weight in water. For more supple, rejuvenated skin

Natural hyaluronic acid levels decrease with age, so by the time we reach 50, half of our hyaluronic acid reserves will have disappeared.

Appropriate supplements will help to regenerate the skin:

• A very high-quality molecule obtained using an vegetale innovative biofermentation process - no impact on people or nature
• Available here in optimised fractions specifically adapted for optimal use on the skin
• Excellent tolerance
• Suitable for moisturising young skin and for use as an anti-ageing product for more mature skin
• Proven effectiveness (see studies below)
• No animal testing

Points to note - Hyaluronic acid:

• Improves the tone of mature, damaged or specific skin
• Improves skin moisture levels and elasticity from within
• Reduces the depth and volume of wrinkles
• Improves endogenous hyaluronic acid synthesis

Scientific studies and evidence on the QUALITY AND BEAUTY OF THE SKIN:

• A 200 mg hyaluronic acid supplement was taken every day for 28 days.
• A rapid action and a prolonged effect over time have been demonstrated, with a significant increase in the quantity of hyaluronic acid in the blood (+40%)
• Notably in terms of depth and volume of wrinkles, a significant improvement in skin relief has been demonstrated: wrinkles appear less pronounced (-17%) and less deep (-18%).
• A significant effect on the markers of healthy skin - hydration and elasticity - was observed: the skin is better hydrated (+11%), the skin appears younger (+4%)

3. VITAMIN C

TO COMBAT FATIGUE AND CELL AGEING

It also plays an important role in the metabolism and normal function of the body through various biochemical reactions and collagen synthesis in particular!

Vitamin C (or ascorbic acid) is a major vitamin found in fruits and vegetables. The human body cannot synthesise vitamin C and the only way we can get an adequate supply is through food. It is sensitive to cooking and to air. It is therefore important to eat fresh fruit and vegetables quickly to make the most of their vitamin C content.

It mainly helps to reduce fatigue, combat oxidation and cell ageing, and strengthen the immune system.

This is why we have selected acerola powder, a fruit particularly rich in natural vitamin C.

Its major functions on the SKIN are as follows:

• Helps to promote normal collagen formation
• Helps to protect cells against oxidative stress.
