Hydrolyzed type I collagen: type I collagen is one of the most abundant molecules in the body (25% of mammalian body proteins) and is present specifically in the skin. Marine organisms are considered promising sources of collagen: they present a high content of this substance, and the use of waste and underused biomass ensures a sustainable process with a lower environmental impact.
The hydrolysis process breaks up the collagen in peptide chains to make it more readily absorbed.
Hyaluronic acid: a compound naturally present in the body (found in all connective tissues), it belongs to the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) family and has tissue supporting and protecting actions.
Dog rose: the pseudofruits of the dog rose are a very rich source of vitamin C, a water soluble vitamin that, among other properties, also contributes to the normal synthesis and formation of collagen for healthy skin and cartilage.
Zinc is an antioxidant micronutrient that contributes to skin health; it is involved in the formation of many enzymes that catalyze important reactions in the body.
Copper: a mineral useful in the maintenance of the skin’s normal pigmentation. Copper is an essential cofactor that regulates important physiological functions in cells and plays a decisive role in redox reactions.
Vitamin E: the term vitamin E indicates a family of fat-soluble substances made up of tocotrienols and tocopherols with antioxidant action.
Niacin: promotes skin maintenance and normal mucous membranes.
Vitamin D3: a pro-hormone with an important role in bone tissues. In addition to this function, it has extra-skeletal action and encourages the process of cell division.
Biotin: also called vitamin H, it is commonly used in cosmetics; particularly important for healthy skin adnexa (skin, hair and nails).
