The convenient powder format allows you to flexibly add the product to your diet by mixing a portion in water or a beverage.

Briefly about the product:

Scientific data

1. Collagen peptides and changes in skin parameters

Source: https://www.orling.cz/uploads/files/gelita-proksch-2014-skin-pharmacology-and-physiology.pdf

Briefly: in a placebo-controlled study, after 8 weeks of taking specific bioactive collagen peptides, a reduction in the volume of wrinkles around the eyes was recorded by an average of 20.1% compared to placebo, as well as an increase in indicators related to the synthesis of the dermal matrix (procollagen type I +65%, elastin +18% compared to placebo).

2. Combination of glucosamine and chondroitin: outcome in the subgroup with severe pain

Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK65650/table/results.t12/

Briefly: In a large randomized trial (GAIT), in the subgroup of participants with moderate/severe pain at baseline, the response rate (≥20% pain reduction) for the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin was 79.2% versus 54.3% in the placebo group.

3. Collagen/gelatin + vitamin C and markers of collagen synthesis in response to stress

Source: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5183725/

Briefly: In a crossover study, ingestion of 15 g of vitamin C-enriched gelatin before short interval exercise was associated with a significantly greater increase in the marker of type I collagen synthesis (PINP): +153% in the 15 g group vs. +53.9% in the placebo group at 4 hours, as well as a “doubling” of the AUC for PINP compared to placebo.

4. Collagen hydrolysate and joint discomfort during exercise in athletes

Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18416885/

Briefly: In a 24-week randomized placebo-controlled trial in physically active individuals, collagen hydrolysate was associated with statistically significant improvements in several pain parameters: e.g., “pain on walking” −1.11 (CH) vs. −0.46 (placebo), “pain on lifting” −1.79 (CH) vs. −1.26 (placebo) on a visual analogue scale.
