Anti Age: Collagen and chlorophyll - the perfect
synergy
Collagen is well known on the beauty and health market and green drinks containing chlorophyll are also very popular! But why do the two combined form the perfect synergy?
Causes of skin ageing
From around the age of 35, endogenous collagenproduction decreases measurably. The main reason for this is the decreasing activity of the fibroblasts – the dermal cells that are responsible for the synthesis of collagen, elastin and other structurellen matrixproteins. With increasingage, their rate of parting and functionalperformanceabilitydecreases.
UV radiation is an additional stress factor for fibroblasts. Inparticular, UV-A and UV-B exposition lead to an increased production of free radicals. These attack and damage lipids, proteins and DNA:
- increased melanin production (hyperpigmentation)
- accelerated wrinkle formation
- structural degeneration of the skin matrix
for.
Oxidative stress is not only caused by UV light, but also a lack of sleep, psychological stress, smoking and an unbalanced work-life balance increase the production of free radicals. Hormonal changes – especially in the context of the natural ageing process – also increase the skin’s natural flux of free radicals. A decline in certain hormones can reduce the sebumproduction, which leads to drier, more sensitive skin and a reduced ability to moisturise.
Chlorophyll sun protection from the inside:
Chlorophyll, the green plant colourant, converts sunlight into energy in plants and is therefore essential for their survival. For us humans, the antioxidative effect of chlorophyll is of particular importance. It is the strongest naturally occurring antioxidant there is. It therefore effectively protects the cells from destruction by free radicals. In addition, it promotes detoxification, binds heavy metals and thus helps to eliminate them and supports the regeneration of cells. Chlorophyll is therefore perfectly suited to compensate for the stress caused by increased UV exposition.
Particularly valuable sources of chlorophyll are
- Spinach
- Wheat grass
- Chlorella
- Tin weed
- Bamboo
- Gotu-Kola
Collagen: what is important
Collagen, which we produce, must first be processed by the body and only then can it be converted into the body’s own collagen by the fibres. For these compliornamentalt biochemical processe, a cocktail of various micronutrientssubstancesis necessary in addition to a highlyvaluable collagen as “buildingmaterial”. B vitamins, vitamin C, copper, manganese and zinc are particularly important here. If just one of these important micro-nutrients is lacking, the conversion of the body’s own colostrum into colostrum is insufficient. But the amount of collagen is also important: to be effective, you should consume at least 3 g of collagen daily.
Conclusion
Chlorophyll protects the skincellsbut also the fiblasts from UV radiation, while collayers together with a micronutrientcocktail ensure optimum collagenproduction.
2-fold effect for better UV protection, firmer skin and firmer connective tissue.
Targeted health improvement through advanced micronutrient supplements: with our products, this is no utopia, but a tried and tested reality.
