Frequently asked questions
You might have some questions about collagen and its many benefits. Below are some useful answers and insights.
If you require further information, please contact us.
WHAT IS COLLAGEN?
Collagen is a vital component of skin, bones, muscles, ligaments, and other connective tissues, making up 30% of the body’s protein and 75% of the skin’s structure.
WHY IS COLLAGEN IMPORTANT?
As we age, our ability to produce collagen naturally declines. Ingenious supports your body in maintaining healthy collagen levels, helping you look and feel your best.
WHAT IS ASTAXANTHIN?
Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful antioxidants ever discovered. It is an incredible 6,000 times stronger than the better known antioxidant vitamin C.
As a powerful antioxidant, Astaxanthin has been shown to have many benefits when taken as a supplement; from skin repair, reducing wrinkles, repairing joints, improving eye health and even aiding the brain.
WHY IS ASTAXANTHIN IMPORTANT?
Modern lifestyles put our bodies under attack from free radicals produced by UV rays, pollution, stress, smoking and poor nutrition. The damage caused by free radicals is a major cause of skin ageing which affects all layers of the skin, from the visible surface to the delicate deep layers where new skin is formed, destroying both collagen and hyaluronic acid. Astaxanthin breaks down Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), or ‘free radicals’ that directly damage collagen fibres. By eliminating free radicals using natural astaxanthin, existing collagen will not be damaged, and neither will the making of new collagen.
WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID?
Hyaluronic Acid, also known as Hyaluron or HA is a gentle yet powerful, moisture-binding substance that occurs naturally in your body. It is present in our skin, our inner connective tissue, between our joints and in our eyes. Its main purpose is to retain water, to keep everything well lubricated and maintain structural integrity.
WHY IS HYALURONIC ACID IMPORTANT?
HA exists naturally in almost every cell in the body. If you have sufficient HA in your body, your skin will feel soft and beautifully moisturised and the resulting elasticity will help protect against wrinkles forming.
Unfortunately, as we age, we lose the ability to replace HA at the rate required which in part explains why age-related symptoms appear, our skin becomes drier and less elastic, and wrinkles start to form.
