Collagen for the skin: not all supplements are the same
The packs of beauty supplements available for sale online and in pharmacies are attractive and colourful. But how can you tell whether a supplement is of good quality and whether it will really be effective in countering the signs of time? There are details that make the difference. Starting with the formula, collagen must not be missing, as it is fundamental to the structure of the skin. It acts as a support for the dermis, promoting its elasticity.
But not all collagen supplements are the same. Our advice is to choose the hydrolysed type: the molecules are smaller and more easily absorbed by the body. It also has the advantage of directly stimulating the fibroblasts (the living cells of the skin) from within.
In the latest-generation supplement LuxGea Pelle, Salugea has also included a patented ingredient consisting of highly purified hydrolysed bioactive collagen peptides. Scientific studies support its ability to stimulate collagen synthesis, promote firmer, more elastic skin and actively counter wrinkles (in particular those around the eyes).
Type I or type II collagen? If patented hydrolysed collagens are used, this difference is no longer important. For LuxGea Pelle, Salugea has selected two types of highly bioavailable hydrolysed collagen, and its formula provides as much as 5 grams of collagen a day in synergy with other ingredients specifically designed for the beauty of the skin.
Hyaluronic acid for hydration
In anti-ageing supplements hyaluronic acid must also be present, one of the main components of connective tissue: it maintains the mechanical and aesthetic properties of the dermis, also ensuring its optimal hydration. For LuxGea Pelle, Salugea has selected a hyaluronic acid with a specific characteristic that allows the body to absorb the ingredient more effectively.
Vitamins and mineral salts
Salugea has also included in its formulation vitamin C, which contributes to the formation of collagen and has an antioxidant action, and Zinc and Selenium, which support the skin structure and provide anti-ageing protection.
Innovative ingredients for the skin
Few people know that Silicon is useful for collagen synthesis and for regulating the permeability of the skin. Studies have highlighted how skin ageing is linked to a reduction in the levels of silicon and hyaluronic acid in connective tissues. Salugea has therefore also included 100% natural silicon from Bamboo in the complete formula of LuxGea Pelle!
For this product Salugea has also selected an innovative registered ingredient obtained from eggshell membrane: it naturally contains elastin, collagen, hyaluronic acid and glucosamine, a mix of nutrients with a regenerating effect for the face, skin, nails and hair.
Pay attention to the packaging of supplements. Salugea chooses pharmaceutical-grade dark glass (no plastic), a material that is friendly to the environment and healthy, the most suitable for containing a natural product and preserving its quality and efficacy, down to the last dose!
