A Guide to Beauty Complex

What is Collagen?

Collagen is a unique protein and also the most abundant protein in the human body. It accounts for up to 70% of our skin. Type 1 Collagen is the essential insoluble fibrous protein that gives our skin its structure. When collagen is hydrolysed, meaning it is broken down into smaller chains of amino acids, it becomes bioavailable and is more easily absorbed by the body. Hydrolysed collagen is known as Collagen Peptides.

How does Collagen contribute to the skin?

The outermost layer of the skin, the epidermis, protects us from ultraviolet (UV) radiation, harmful chemicals and infections. The dermis is the second, much thicker layer of the skin where collagen fibres form the infrastructure for elastin, which maintains the skin’s elasticity, and for hyaluronic acid which traps moisture. Ageing occurs in the dermis first before it becomes visible on the skin’s surface.

What type of collagen does Beauty Complex contain?

The type of collagen used in Beauty Complex is a Type 1 hydrolysed marine collagen known as Peptan® Collagen Peptides, sourced from the global leader in collagen-based products, Rousselot in France. Peptan® has been clinically proven to counteract the visual signs of ageing and support younger looking skin. In one randomised, double blind, placebo controlled clinical
study of 60 women between the age of 45 and 60 to evaluate the impact of Peptan® on the skin and hair, 75% of collagen-supplemented participants recorded fewer and less deep wrinkles; 85% noted fewer large pores; and generally, more hydrated skin and stronger hair was noted. Collagen peptides are bioactive, inducing collagen and hyaluronic acid production in the skin. Beauty Complex harnesses the power of Peptan® Collagen Peptides in every sachet for more nourished, hydrated, and firmer skin and stronger, healthier hair.

Hair

Beauty Complex contains both selenium and biotin which contribute to the maintenance of normal hair. Biotin is recognised for helping to slow the signs of ageing by supporting hair growth.

Nails

Selenium is a nutrient that plays
a key role in the condition of your nails. It contributes to the maintenance of normal nails and promotes strong, less brittle nails.

What makes Beauty Complex a Super Supplement

We refer to our products as super supplements to help differentiate them from other vitamins and minerals on the market.
All our supplements are enriched with premium quality ingredients in high doses that are designed to work in synergy, offering a comprehensive blend of vitamins, minerals and amino acids in a powered sachet that is more easily absorbed by the body than a tablet or capsule.

Peptan Collagen Peptides

Peptan Collagen Peptides are a Type 1 Hydrolysed Collagen, which have been independently tested and clinically proven to enhance the health and appearance of skin, hair and nails for a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

Hyaluronic Acid

The skin is the heaviest and largest organ in the body, making up about one seventh of our body weight. Daily environmental damage combined with the normal process of ageing causes moisture loss. A key molecule involved in skin moisture is hyaluronic acid - a compound with a unique capacity to bind and retain water molecules that help plump, smooth and firm the skin. While hyaluronic acid is found in many areas of the body, up to 50% can be found in the skin.

Phytoceramides

Environmental factors such as cold weather and sun exposure can take a tool on our skin which is the barrier between the body and the environment around us. Ceramides play an important role in the skin's barrier function, as well as the overall health and appearance of the skin. They are a type of naturally occurring, long-chain fatty acid which make up to 50% of the skin's epidermis (its outer layer). Phytoceramides are ceramides derived from plants, rather than from animal or synthetic sources.

Biotin

Biotin is one of eight B vitamins. In some countries it's referred to as Vitamin H, which is derived from 'Haar und Haut' - the German words for 'hair and skin'.
Biotin is also a water-soluble vitamin, which plays a role in the maintenance of hair and skin. It cannot be made by the body and therefore must be obtained through a normal balanced diet and/or supplementation.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin and vital antioxidant that can not be created by the body.  Vitamin C helps reduce the physical signs of ageing because of its role in the body’s natural collagen synthesis. It also helps restore damaged skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Sufficient vitamin C intake can also help repair and prevent dry skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that is stored in the body and used when it is needed. It is also an antioxidant and plays an important role in protecting the skin from environmental damage and treating skin inflammation.

Selenium

Selenium is known as a trace mineral that helps to maintain elastin, which is a protein used to maintain smooth skin. Selenium also has antioxidant properties, which help prevent cell oxidation and the visible signs of ageing.

Copper

Copper is an essential trace mineral that is key to maintaining collagen and elastin. Copper also contributes to normal hair and skin pigmentation because it is needed to make melanin, a pigment in your hair and skin.

Why it’s a powdered format

Beauty Complex comes in a powdered sachet because it dissolves quickly in water and is more easily absorbed by the body than a tablet or capsule. The powdered format also eliminates the need for fillers, binders and bulking agents which can also affect the absorption
process.

How to take Beauty Complex

Empty the contents of the Beauty Complex sachet into a glass/shaker, add 250-300mls of water and stir/shake to dissolve.

We recommend taking Beauty Complex on an ongoing basis for visible results after a minimum of eight weeks.
