What makes Collagen Plus unique?

Collagen Plus provides the most comprehensive “skin-care-from-within” product on the market. The formula features collagen peptides with nicotinamide riboside and botanical extracts, including natural ceramides from Japanese white peach and polyphenols derived from blackcurrant and redcurrant to visibly enhance the health and appearance of skin, hair and nails. Delivered in a delicious passion berry flavoured powder that mixes easily with water or beverage of choice, Collagen Plus makes for a simple and effective daily addition to the skincare or beauty regime.

How is it different from collagen-only formulas?

Collagen products provide connective tissue support for skin, hair, and nails. This helps the skin maintain tone and decreases the outward signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles. The collagen in Collagen Plus is sourced from grass-fed cows and contains low-molecular weight, hydrolysed collagen – both type I and III – the forms of collagen typically found in the skin.

But what do the other active ingredients in Collagen Plus bring to the table?

• Nicotinamide riboside and betaine support skin regeneration and repair on the cellular level.
• HydroPeach™ (from Japanese white peach) provides natural plant-based ceramides – the waxy lipids found under the surface of the skin – providing a natural barrier to help the skin retain moisture.
• MitoHeal® (polyphenols derived from blackcurrant and redcurrant) reduces hyper-pigmentation of the skin for more even skin tone, and supports improved skin texture allowing the skin to appear visibly smoother and less coarse.

The ingredient nitty-gritty

Collagen peptides

Collagen is a primary building block of the body’s connective tissues, bones, and ligaments, helping to provide structure, elasticity, and strength. Collagen peptides are rich in the amino acids that help nourish skin, hair, and nails. Thorne’s Collagen Plus contains 13 grams of grass-fed, hormone-free collagen that contains type I and III collagen, the optimal types of collagen for promoting healthy skin. The unique extraction technique eliminates the use of harsh chemicals commonly used in other mainstream collagen products.

Benefits of collagen peptides:

• Enhances the health of skin, hair, and nail health – a difference can be seen in as little as four weeks
• Promotes the hydration, elasticity, and strength of the skin
• Helps increase muscle mass and supports recovery after exercise
• Supports healthy bone density and joint tissue.

MitoHeal®

As skin ages, it begins to show signs of thinning, pigmentation changes, and a reduction in elasticity. MitoHeal is a patented polyphenol blend of red and black currants that has been clinically studied for its ability to support beauty from within and reduce visible signs of skin ageing. The MitoHeal blend of plant extracts can be traced from farm to table (or bottle). The extraction process utilises a proprietary water extraction process that avoids harsh chemicals.

Benefits of MitoHeal:

• Helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• Benefits skin texture by helping to reduce skin coarseness
• Helps maintain skin pigment levels as skin ages, helping reduce facial brown spots
• Promotes healthy hair, skin, and nails.

HydroPeach™

One of the most common beauty concerns as skin ages is dry, rough skin that lacks hydration. HydroPeach, derived from Japanese peaches, supplies ceramides – lipid molecules that help maintain the water balance of the skin. Natural ceramides comprise more than half of the outer layers of the skin, but the skin rapidly loses its ceramide content as a person ages. HydroPeach has been clinically studied to increase the skin’s natural production of ceramides.

Benefits of HydroPeach:

• Promotes smooth, vibrant skin with improved resilience and texture noticeable within 3 weeks
• Enhances the hydration of dry, rough, scaly skin in as little as 10 days
• Provides a protective outer barrier against photo-ageing UV rays, pollutants and environmental conditions
• Enhances the skin’s permeability, allowing more moisture to be absorbed.

Nicotinamide Riboside (NR)

As we age, our production of NAD+, the cornerstone for maintaining optimal cellular repair, begins to decline, which can contribute to visible signs of ageing. As a direct precursor to NAD+, NR efficiently stimulates NAD+ production, which in turn supports various aspects of healthy ageing, efficient mitochondrial metabolism, and cellular protection and repair. To optimise the benefit from NR, it is important to support the process of methylation. Therefore, betaine (trimethylglycine) - a premiere methyl donor - is added to support healthy methylation throughout the body. Betaine also improves metabolism in the mitochondria, which enhances cellular energy production.

Benefits of NR:

• Promotes multiple aspects of healthy ageing
• Supports cellular repair processes
• Protects against DNA damage and oxidative stress
