10 Week Clinical Study

Objective

To evaluate the benefits of active ingredients offering excellent solubility and can be digested and absorbed in the small intestine; before being distributed through the blood vessels through the deeper layer of the dermis, resulting in the multiplication and stimulation of fibroblast cells to produce more collagen and hyaluronic acid in the dermis.

Study Methodology

Design: Visia Skin Study Analysis

Population/Inclusion: Caucasian women, aged 47-56 with mild to moderate general facial fine lines and coarse wrinkles in the eye area, skin dehydration and mottled pigmentation on the face and willing to try an ingested high strength collagen drink supplement.

Assessment

Exclusion: Current use of skincare includes routine use of anti- ageing topical lotions and creams. No cosmetic procedures (Botox, fillers, peels, laser, light treatments) used by any of the candidates.

Duration: 10-week study (March-June 2014) Evaluation Visits: Baseline, at 6 weeks, at 10 weeks Evaluation Tools: Visia Skin Analysis machine Photography: Baseline, at 6 weeks, at 10 weeks.

Test product and usage

Key ingredient benefits

10,000 mg. Arthred® (95% absorbed) highly bioavailable enzymatically processed hydrolysed Collagen peptides raise Hydroxyproline amino acids (the main building block component of collagen and elastin) by 550%.

210 mg. enzymatically processed Hyaluronic Acid increases skin hydration, volume and density and supports collagen and elastin.

Synergistic co-factor ingredients stimulate a natural biological process which promotes the stages of collagen synthesis, maintenance, promotion and repair.

Differences in improvement

Week 3 for skin hydration

Week 4 for more even complexion, glowing skin, overall appearance

Week 5 for less redness and spots, dewy hydration and clarity week 6 for improved skin smoothness, density

Week 7 for wrinkles and visual roughness

Week 8 for crows feet improvement

Week 10 for all the above

Anti-ageing effects were apparent to subjects

After 10 weeks, group participants agreed:

100% skin was more hydrated, texture was smoother, firmer, had more volume, wrinkles less noticeable.

80% less redness.

Conclusion

Formulation delivers advanced comprehensive anti-ageing benefits to dehydrated, lax, wrinkled, sallow skin through the synergistic actions of multiple benefit ingredients, is 95% absorbed and is well tolerated.

These anti-ageing effects are clinically measurable and statistically significant in working from ‘within’ to stimulate the body’s own production of collagen, elastin and HA, addressing the signs of the ageing process to help restore the look and feel of youthful skin.
