What is collagen?
Collagen is a natural protein that is made up of amino acids the natural building blocks of our skin.
Collagen is found throughout the body – in skin, muscle, tendon and bone, and makes up 75% of
the total protein of the body.
"Your natural supply of collagen starts to decrease from around 25 years of age at a rate of about
1.5% per year, reaching approximately a 30% loss by the age of 45. This causes the formation of
fine lines and wrinkles of the skin, particularly noticeable around the eyes and the mouth. This is
because the skin becomes less elastic with age"
Professor Greg Whyte
Benefits for skin, hair and nails
proto-col collagen capsules stimulate the skin's natural production of collagen and boost skin
elasticity. Skin becomes noticeably firmer and fine lines and wrinkles are significantly reduced.
Collagen is also believed to strengthen both hair and nails. As well as being a potent anti-ageing
beauty supplement, collagen can aid muscular and joint regeneration by collectively working to
release essential amino acids and proteins that work to rebuild skin cells and stimulate the body's
collagen production.
Why proto-col?
proto-col collagen capsule formulation combines type I and type II collagen. Type I collagen is
Cofound in skin, hair and nails and type II is found in all connective tissue. proto-col collagen
capsules are standardised and contain a pure pharmaceutical grade of collagen with no other
ingredients or impurities. The results of proto-col collagen capsules are progressive and should be
taken on an on-going basis for maximum results.
The minimum recommended dosage is 3 capsules per day taken last thing at night as your skin and
body's regeneration process is at its peak during sleep. For an extra boost take an extra 3 capsules in
the morning for a period of a month.
Product Reviews
Tracey from Somerset
I've been using the collagen supplements for 2 months now and can definitely see an improvement
in my skin. I turned 40 last year and also had my first child, and the inevitable sleep deprivation &
tiredness was taking its toll and I was starting to get a bit depressed whenever I looked in the mirror
as I was definitely looking a lot more haggard than I used to- I had been lucky enough to look
younger than my years before so it wasa real shocker to start looking like my real age!
However, 2 months ago I started taking the collagen capsules in the hope that it would make some
difference, and it has! Even after 3 weeks I could definitely see an improvement - the fine lines
going up from my upper lip were looking less noticeable and my skin was looking more plump.
Friends also started commenting on how well I was looking- nothing else had changed so I can only
assume it was the effect of the supplements. After only 2 months I think I'm looking so much better,
and have got back my youthful looks :-)
Another benefit has been with the skin on my hands- my skin on my right hand, particularly around
my thumb and forefinger had been getting really scaly, red and cracking over the last year (- it
might be a form of eczema but not sure as I've never had it checked by a doctor. My dad
ocassionally gets a similiar problem on his right hand and his doctor prescribed him steroid cream. )
for months and no amount of cheap or expensive hand creams made a difference.
Anyway, it's now virtually all gone & cleared up - it might be a coincidence as it can go away and
then come back for no apparent reason, so only time will tell if it's the supplements that's making
the skin healthier. My nails had also been suffering from the effects of pregnancy & breast-feeding,
and I'd tried taking Boots hair, skin and nail supplements to try and get back my nails back to
normal. I'd always had beautfiul, strong nails but they'd been flaking and breaking easily since
having my baby.
Anyway, now my nails are finally starting to get back to normal and though the top parts still
growing out are still slightly flaky on the bigger nails, I can see the new growth is looking much
better. All in all, I'm totally impressed with these supplements and recommend them to anyone of a
similar age who is starting to notice the signs of ageing!
