Collagen is a natural component of the skin that helps the skin to preserve its firmness and elasticity.
Over 90% of young and healthy skin is made of collagen.
The body’s ability to make collagen decreases with age, and can also be can also be affected by certain lifestyle choices like smoking, and external factors like sun exposure
The skin loses its support structure, elasticity and becomes more saggy
Fine lines and wrinkles form, and the skin, and the skin loses its natural hydration
7. What is the difference between the collagen in the skin and the collagen in the product?
+
The collagen naturally present in our skin, tendons and ligaments has a high molecular weight (~300kDa). If applied on skin topically, it cannot be absorbed and if ingested, it is not easily digested or absorbed. The collagen used in our product is hydrolysed collagen (a smaller peptide form of collagen), which has a lower molecular weight (0.3 – 8KDa). It is easily digested in the stomach and absorbed in the small intestine where it enters the blood stream and reaches the deeper layer of the skin.
8. How does GOLD COLLAGEN® differ from your average anti-ageing cream?
+
GOLD COLLAGEN® stimulates the cells responsible for the body’s own natural production of collagen, elastin and moisture-retaining hyaluronic acid. It is able to work in the deeper layer of the skin (dermis) and all over the body, whereas creams act on the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) only.
9. I’m in my 30’s, should I take GOLD COLLAGEN® Forte?
+
GOLD COLLAGEN® Forte has been specifically designed for women aged over 40, or women who have more advanced signs of ageing. If you are in your 30’s then Pure GOLD COLLAGEN® should be the right product for you as it helps to counteract first signs of ageing and promote a more beautiful appearance. With regular use, you can expect an improvement in hydration and radiance, fine lines and wrinkles will appear reduced and skin will feel firmer.
10. I’m already taking Pure GOLD COLLAGEN®, should I take the new Forte product or stick with Pure?
+
If you are happy with the results of Pure GOLD COLLAGEN® then you should continue with the program. If you are over 40 years old or have more advance signs of ageing which you would like to target then perhaps GOLD COLLAGEN® Forte is better suited to your needs.
11. Where does the collagen come from?
+
MINERVA Research Labs uses hydrolysed collagen extracted from fish skin (Tilapia fish); no other animal sources of collagen are used. All fish used to extract the collagen come from fish farms registered by the European Union for the import of edible fish and are deemed fit for human consumption and guaranteed by health certificates signed by official veterinarians.
12. Why are the products in a liquid form rather than tablets?
+
Aside from being easier to swallow, a liquid is more readily absorbed as soon as it enters the stomach. Daily dosage (50ml) of GOLD COLLAGEN® contains up to 5,000 mg of hydrolysed collagen which can be up to 20 times more than a typical collagen tablet. Tablets and capsules may cost less, but in reality, liquid represents far better value as more hydrolysed collagen can be absorbed and distributed to the body.
13. Do the products contain fish oils, porcine, chicken, beef, antibiotics, hormones (or phyto hormones or phytoestrogens), genetically modified organisms, use of nano technology, gluten, sugars, alcohol, artificial preservatives, or artificial colours?
