ANTI-AGING capsules 3-pack - collagen + hyaluron + more

Why does our skin age?

With an average surface area of 1.5 to 2^m2 for an adult, the skin is our body's protective shield - and therefore takes quite a beating. It has to withstand many different external influences on a daily basis. So it's no wonder that it changes over the years - often faster than we would like.

Admittedly, most of us like a radiant, fresh summer tan. However, our skin doesn't like it at all - and it will let us know that! This is because UV radiation in particular can cause oxidative stress, which leads to the premature breakdown of collagen and elastin, the two most important components for skin firmness and elasticity. Sufficient elasticity is important, among other things, so that the skin "tightens" back to its original position after stretching, for example when smiling.

In addition, the body's own production of the factors involved in skin firmness naturally declines over time. However, with the necessary care and the right nutrients, we can support our skin.

9 nutrients that get under the skin

A lack of nutrients is usually the first thing that becomes noticeable in the appearance of the skin. That's why our anti-ageing complex doesn't just contain collagen, but an ideally balanced combination of 9 high-quality nutrients, all of which benefit skin function.
We are happy to tell you why ...

Marine collagen - the natural power from the ocean

Collagen is a protein produced naturally in the body that is responsible for the firmness and elasticity of our skin. The more stable the collagen structure, the firmer the appearance of our skin. At a young age, the skin contains 80% collagen. However, the body's own collagen production begins to decline steadily in our mid-20s - when we are actually still young. If the skin lacks this structural protein, its elasticity also decreases and the first fine lines and wrinkles appear.

The good thing is that we can supply our body with collagen externally to keep the skin's collagen balance stable. At the same time, the nails are also happy because they consist of keratin, the production of which is also promoted by collagen.

Why do we use marine collagen in the ANTI-AGING collagen capsules?

Marine collagen is particularly highly bioavailable, as the peptides are naturally very small. And this is precisely the great advantage: the smaller a collagen peptide is, the easier it can be absorbed and utilized by the body.

Vegan collagen from plants - what's it all about?

In short: there is no such thing as vegan collagen.
The collagen products advertised on the market as vegan generally contain antioxidant plant substances instead of genuine collagen peptides, which are intended to stimulate the body's own collagen production.

Incidentally, one substance that also contributes to collagen formation for skin function is vitamin C - and is therefore a supplementary ingredient in our ANTI-AGING collagen capsules*.

Hyaluronic acid - the body's own "skin smoother"

Among other things, hyaluronic acid is an important substance in our connective tissue. If you're thinking of cellulite right now, you're absolutely right. If our connective tissue is not sufficiently supplied, this can promote the appearance of cellulite.

Hyaluronic acid binds a lot of water in our body and stores it. This ensures that the skin appears plump and smooth - practically like a "natural skin tightener". Thanks to the stored moisture, the skin is also protected from drying out, which helps to prevent the premature formation of wrinkles.

Coenzyme Q10 - the enzyme for skin renewal

Over time, the skin's cell division slows down, which leads to a reduction in its ability to regenerate. Q10 is a coenzyme that plays an important role in the skin's metabolism, which is responsible for its "renewal". And you can guess three times - the Q10 content in our body also decreases as we get older. Pretty unfair of Mother Nature, but fortunately Q10 is part of our ANTI-AGING complex.

Incidentally, high levels of stress can also cause a premature Q10 deficiency. So a little more relaxation is also good for your skin - and for you anyway, right?

Green tea with antioxidant polyphenols

Are you also a fan of green tea? In fact, green tea has been a staple in Asian natural remedies for over 5,000 years. It has been known for some time that it is particularly rich in so-called polyphenols. These secondary plant substances with their catechin content belong to the group of antioxidants that can reduce cell ageing due to oxidative damage.

Pure Ella ANTI-AGING contains the highly concentrated extract of green tea, as it has a particularly high content of polyphenols.

Resveratrol - a plant substance that defies environmental influences

You may have wondered what knotweed in skin capsules is good for. The answer lies in its high resveratrol content.
Resveratrol is a compound produced by plants such as Japanese knotweed to protect itself from external influences.

We can also make use of this positive property - to strengthen the skin barrier so that the skin is better able to withstand external irritants. Studies show promising results that "resveratrol could be a viable treatment approach to prevent photoaging of the skin. "¹

3 Vitamins + zinc for healthy skin cells

Althoughvitamin C is primarily known for supporting our immune system, it is also essential for the skin:
This is because it promotes the formation of the body's own collagen in particular.*

In this way, you not only supply your body with collagen, but also stimulate its own production at the same time.

Vitamin A plays an important role in cell specialization.* Sounds strange, but it's explained quite simply:
So-called "specialized" cells contribute to the formation of tissues. To be more precise: during cell division and the formation of new cells, specialized cells can multiply and thus enable the growth and reproduction of organisms.

So that millions of new, fresh skin cells can be created every day ...

Vitamin E helps to protect cells from oxidative stress* As we already know, this can be caused by external environmental influences such as UV radiation and air pollution, but also by an unhealthy lifestyle.

Excessive stress destroys healthy cells every time, which can be the trigger for a premature ageing process, among other things. This is why it is so important to protect our cells.

Zinc is known as THE "beauty mineral" par excellence - for maintaining healthy skin, hair and nails.*

According to the German Nutrition Society, the recommended daily intake of zinc for an adult woman is 7 mg^.2 As more and more foods are industrially produced, they are often low in zinc and almost half of all people in the world are deficient in zinc. In addition to dry and uneven skin, hair loss and premature graying of the hair can also be possible consequences. Because we want to avoid this, zinc is of course a must in our ANTI-AGING vital substance complex!

And then there are ...

... a few things you can easily do yourself for a radiant complexion:

• Drink plenty of water every day (2-3 liters are ideal) to hydrate your skin and your entire body
• Spend time outside regularly to provide your skin with fresh oxygen and stimulate blood circulation
• Give your skin a well-earned rest so that it can regenerate overnight. After a good night's sleep, not only you but also your skin can start the next day well-rested and fit!
