Stark Collagen Peptides & Hyaluronic Acid 225 grams (collagen, hyaluronic acid)

Stark Collagen Peptides & Hyaluronic Acid 225 grams — a complex for the skin and musculoskeletal system

Stark Collagen Peptides & Hyaluronic Acid is a Stark Pharm food supplement in powder format that combines Peptan® P 2000 LD hydrolyzed collagen peptides and hyaluronic acid, supplemented with MSM and vitamins.

The complex can be useful as an additional source of collagen peptides and hyaluronic acid in the diet - to support the skin, as well as joints, ligaments and connective tissue.

Flavors: strawberry-banana, kiwi, green apple, raspberry.

Briefly about the product:

• Form: powder.
• Packaging: 225 grams.
• Serving Size: 1 heaped scoop (7500 mg).
• Collagen peptides: 5000 mg per serving.
• Hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate): 60 mg per serving.
• MSM: 500 mg per serving.
• Vitamin C: 90 mg per serving.
• Vitamin D3: 5 mcg per serving.
• Biotin: 500 mcg per serving.

How it works:

• Collagen peptides: can be nutritional support for connective tissue (skin, ligaments, tendons, cartilage).
• Hyaluronic Acid: May help maintain skin hydration and elasticity, as well as joint comfort.
• MSM: Often used in joint and ligament formulas as a sulfur-containing component associated with connective tissue processes.
• Vitamin C: participates in the natural processes of collagen synthesis and antioxidant protection.
• Vitamin D3 and biotin: complement the formula as vitamin support for the diet.

The effect of the Stark Collagen Peptides & Hyaluronic Acid supplement

• Musculoskeletal system: may help maintain normal musculoskeletal function.
• Joints: May help maintain joint mobility and flexibility.
• Connective tissue: May help maintain connective tissue strength.
• Skin: May help maintain skin elasticity and hydration.
• Hair and nails: may be appropriate as comprehensive “beauty” support in combination with a balanced diet.
• Recovery: may be appropriate in post-exercise recovery programs as an additional source of collagen peptides.

Benefits of the formula

• Peptan® P 2000 LD: hydrolyzed collagen in the form of peptides.
• Collagen + hyaluronic acid: a combination for daily skin and joint support.
• Formula enhancement: MSM + vitamin C, D3 and biotin per serving.
• Convenient format: 1 serving per day, mixed in water.

Who might be interested?

• For those who want to add collagen peptides and hyaluronic acid to their daily diet.
• For people with an active lifestyle and regular training, when joint support, ligaments and recovery are important.
• In nutritional skin support programs (elasticity, hydration) as part of comprehensive care.

Scientific data

1. “Peptide residues” after oral collagen: what exactly gets into the bloodstream

Source: Iwai K. et al., 2005 (PMID: 16076145 ); Virgilio N. et al., 2024 (Frontiers in Nutrition: 10.3389/fnut.2024.1416643 ).

Briefly: Studies have shown that short collagen-derived peptides with hydroxyproline (in particular Pro-Hyp) are detected in human plasma after ingestion of hydrolyzed collagen. This explains why collagen peptides are considered not only as “building blocks” but also as potential bioactive fragments that can affect connective tissue cells.

2. Mechanisms for “beauty”: Pro-Hyp as a signal for dermal fibroblasts

Source: Ohara H. et al., 2010 (PMID: 20507402 ).

Briefly: In a cell model of dermal fibroblasts, the collagen-derived dipeptide Pro-Hyp was associated with stimulation of cell proliferation (approximately 1.5-fold) and increased hyaluronic acid synthesis (approximately 3.8-fold) through activation of HAS2 transcription. In practical terms, this is one of the most frequently discussed mechanisms by which “peptide residues” can support the intrinsic processes of the dermal matrix.

3. Clinical data for skin: wrinkles, elasticity, hydration

Source: Proksch E. et al., 2014 (PMID: 24401291 ); systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs: Pu SY et al., 2023 (Nutrients: 10.3390/nu15092080 ).

In short: In randomized placebo-controlled trials, oral collagen peptides have been associated with improvements in skin parameters (hydration, elasticity, wrinkle severity). A meta-analysis of RCTs also summarizes that hydrolyzed collagen statistically significantly improved skin hydration and elasticity scores compared to placebo.

4. Rehabilitation and exercise: collagen synthesis in response to “collagen + vitamin C”

Source: Shaw G. et al., 2017 (PMID: 27852613 ); full text (PMC): PMC5183725 .

Briefly: In an exercise study, taking 15 g of gelatin with vitamin C before exercise was associated with an increase in the blood marker of type I collagen synthesis (PINP); the authors interpret this as an increase in the collagen-synthetic response to the exercise stimulus. This is one reason why collagen peptides are often discussed in the context of ligaments, tendons, and exercise recovery.

5. Rehabilitation and joint comfort in sports: data from physically active people

Briefly: In a 24-week randomized placebo-controlled trial in athletes with exercise-induced joint discomfort, collagen hydrolysate was associated with greater improvements in selected measures of pain/comfort during activity compared to placebo.
