Collagen Beauty
Overview
This formula is designed for beauty-from-within support with a focus on connective-tissue nutrients and antioxidants. It combines hydrolysed marine collagen peptides with an elastin source and hyaluronic acid. The blend is complemented by vitamins C and E and a standardized grape seed extract. The overall aim is to support daily skin, hair, and nail maintenance as part of a balanced lifestyle.
Collagen peptides as a structural foundation
Hydrolysed marine collagen Naticol® type I is included as low-molecular-weight peptides (4000 Da). Collagen peptides are commonly used to provide amino-acid building blocks for collagen-containing tissues. This ingredient is positioned as the core structural component of the formula. It is intended for consistent, routine use rather than immediate effects.
Hyaluronic acid and elastin support
Sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) is included to complement the formula’s skin-focused positioning. Hyaluronic acid is widely used in supplements aimed at supporting skin hydration and comfort. Prolastin is included as an elastin source to pair with collagen peptides. Together, these ingredients are commonly combined in beauty formulations to support the feel and appearance of skin.
Antioxidant and polyphenol support
Grape seed extract standardized to 95% proanthocyanidins provides a concentrated source of polyphenols. Vitamin E (DL-alpha-tocopheryl acetate) contributes fat-soluble antioxidant support. Vitamin C adds water-soluble antioxidant support and participates in collagen-related pathways. This antioxidant layer is included to complement everyday exposure to oxidative stress from lifestyle and environment.
Synergy and daily routine fit
Vitamin C is included alongside collagen peptides because it contributes to normal collagen formation. Vitamin E and grape seed extract provide complementary antioxidant coverage across different solubility profiles. The combination of collagen, elastin source, and hyaluronic acid targets multiple aspects of connective-tissue nutrition. The formula is intended to be used consistently as part of a broader wellness routine that includes adequate protein intake and hydration.
Quality and formulation notes
The product is provided in a vegetable capsule that is titanium dioxide free. Anti-caking agents (magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide) are included for manufacturing flow and capsule filling consistency. Ingredient choices emphasize standardized components where specified, such as the grape seed extract. Always follow the recommended daily intake and consider individual sensitivities, especially to fish-derived ingredients.

Hair, Skin & Nails
Designed to support everyday skin, hair, and nail maintenance using structural and antioxidant-focused ingredients. Hydrolysed marine collagen peptides, Prolastin (elastin source), and sodium hyaluronate provide building blocks commonly used in beauty-from-within routines, while vitamin C supports normal collagen formation. Grape seed extract and vitamin E add antioxidant support to complement the structural ingredients.
Skin Health
Suitable for people looking to support skin comfort and appearance as part of a consistent wellness routine. Sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) is commonly used to support skin hydration, while collagen peptides and elastin source ingredients are included to complement skin structure. Antioxidants from grape seed extract and vitamin E help support the skin’s exposure to everyday oxidative stress.
Antioxidant Support
Provides antioxidant nutrients and polyphenols to support overall cellular protection in daily life. Grape seed extract (95% proanthocyanidins) and vitamin E contribute antioxidant activity, while vitamin C supports antioxidant recycling and collagen-related pathways. This can be relevant during periods of higher lifestyle stress (e.g., sun exposure, travel, or busy schedules).
Healthy Aging
Can be used as part of a long-term healthy aging routine focused on maintaining connective-tissue-related nutrients. Collagen peptides, elastin source, and hyaluronic acid are commonly included in formulations aimed at supporting age-related changes in skin feel and appearance. Antioxidants from grape seed extract, vitamin E, and vitamin C complement this broader wellness goal.
Joint Health
May be used by individuals who want general connective-tissue nutritional support alongside an active lifestyle. Collagen peptides and vitamin C are often included in routines that support collagen-containing tissues, which can include joints and tendons. This is a secondary, general-use application and is not intended to address joint conditions.
