Lack of Natural Collagen or the body's improper use of collagen is the stuff that our health, wrinkles, skin, beauty and aging is made of.
Not all collagen products are the same nor do they provide an effective natural collagen. Most collagens are so poorly absorbed that are waste of money. Of the very few collagen products that remain, most have a very low absorption rate (in powder), something in the neighbourhood of twenty percent. But collagens in gel or cream are not able to penetrate the skin at all because of the molecular weight which is too high.
The ideal state of body collagen is without water or other solvents. There are many collagen formulation on the market and the most popular are in liquid, powder, cream and gel.
The little known fact is that any type of collagen, begins to degrade the moment it is exposed to liquid. Products that have collagen in a liquid mixture begin the process of oxidation and loss of potency long before you use it, which allows only a fraction of the collagen content to be absorbed.
Collagen creams work only on the skin surface. A moisturizer with or without collagen cannot penetrate the skin and is not designed to be absorbed. No moisturizer can undo the cumulative effect of collagen loss. Creams primarily slow the rate of water loss from the skin and help keep the skin supple.
Natural Collagen in gel is pure, alive and biologically active and which besides its congenial effect to the skin, the confection penetrates the integument and enters the extracellular space, supplementing any deficiencies of collagen in tissues and organs according to the needs.
Natural Collagen Q5-26 with its so called "triple helix" cell structure, which makes it biologically active is the only living collagen product identical to human protein. So it fights the causes, not just the effects of aging.
