Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body needed for the structure and density of the skin. Approximately 80% of young and healthy skin is made up of collagen, however, with time and natural ageing the body’s ability to replenish collagen decreases by about 1.5% per year.

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.   

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.

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.

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. 

You can take advantage of the 3for2 price benefit on all products.

The 3for2 offer is a price saving - it is based on the standard trial 10-day pack that retails between £35.99 for our original Pure, Mini & Active to £39.98 for Forte & Hairlift per box of 10. When adding larger programmes (from 30-day onwards) to your basket, we have a competitive pricing for these value packs. This makes the overall price for the larger value packs per box of 10-day/10 bottles better value. For instance, for our 40+ range, called Forte, instead of 3 x £39.98 (= £119.94) for one month supply, customers who opt to upgrade to 30 day packs, pay only 2 x £39.98 = £79.98 leaving one box price waived at £39.98 or free (£79.98 vs 3 x £39.98 = £119.94).

This is the equivalent to receiving boxes for free.

This is the offer we call 3for2
To help customers with their choice, we highlight the 3for2 on our website product details pages and showcase the “original price” when purchased individually in boxes of 10 at £35.99-£39.98 each vs. Value pack purchases.

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. 

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.

Pure GOLD COLLAGEN® has a peach and passion fruit flavor, Active GOLD COLLAGEN® has an apple and mango flavor and GOLD COLLAGEN® Forte has a peach and lychee flavor.  All products also have a hint of a spicy note from the black pepper extract (Bioperine™).

Bioperine™ is the black pepper extract clinically proven to increase bioavailability thus enhancing the absorption of nutrients from the formula. Clinical studies carried out in the U.S. demonstrate its safety and efficacy for nutritional use. Bioperine™ is patented worldwide.

We recommend drinking 1 bottle (50ml) on an empty stomach for best absorption. Alternatively you can consume the product after meals if you experience indigestion or gastrointestinal upset. We also recommend taking the product as an energy boost because it contains vitamin B6.  Pure and Active contains vitamin B6 at 100% Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) formerly known as RDA or recommended daily allowance and Forte contains 118% NRV of vitamin B6.

Yes, however, please bear in mind that each product contains ingredients such as vitamins that are already at the maximum recommended daily allowance (RDA, now replaced by NRV Nutrient Reference Value) so you need to ensure that you do not exceed your daily nutritional needs. It would be best to consult with your doctor to ensure you are receiving the optimal amount for your daily nutritional needs.

The product results will vary depending on the individual and their starting skin, hair, health conditions, diet and lifestyle. According to our clinical trial results, with daily and consecutive use of the product (1x 50ml bottle), one can expect the skin to become more hydrated within 3 weeks, followed by a reduction in fine lines and deeper wrinkles within 6 weeks and an increase in skin elasticity within 9 weeks. Some individuals have reported to experience more positive results and/or at a faster rate than others. Our recommendation is that the product should be taken for 12 weeks in order to realise all its benefits. There is no maximum length of time over which Gold Collagen^® supplements may be used, provided you do not exceed the recommended 1 drink a day. However, as results and skin, hair and nails concerns and needs depend on each individual, you can decide if you wish to continue.

Our research studies show that the level of collagen slowly reverts back to its original level when the GOLD COLLAGEN® treatment started.

There are no studies at present that support the use of food supplements during pregnancy or lactation. Therefore, it is not recommended, unless otherwise suggested by your doctor.

GOLD COLLAGEN^® HYDROGEL MASK is clinically proven to be extremely effective in increasing skin moisture, improving skin tone and reducing signs-of photo-ageing in every type of skin. It can also be used in treatment of common skin conditions of e.g. dry, dull skin. GOLD COLLAGEN^® Hydrogel Mask reduces skin erythema and pigmentation linked to photo-ageing.

Due to its hydrogel base technology and soothing properties of active ingredients mask can be also applied immediately after aesthetic procedures requiring immediate cooling effects.

Hydrogels are three-dimensional polymer networks known to have the most effective moisturising properties due to their high water content. Further to its moisturising properties, the hydrogel base used in the GOLD COLLAGEN^® Hydrogel Mask is thermosensitive. This type of hydrogel was specifically chosen to facilitate a localised, controlled and continuous delivery of active compounds, which are released upon a change in the physical properties of the hydrogel base due to thermal stimuli. When applied to face the GOLD COLLAGEN^® HYDROGEL MASK provides an immediate cooling effect and once the mask reaches body temperature, it slowly releases its active ingredients into the skin.

No, mask should be disposed after use.

GOLD COLLAGEN^® HYDROGEL MASK can be applied at any time of a day; it might be a perfect base for the make-up and make the skin radiant before the big night-out. However, application of the mask before the bed time will allow skin to absorb the nutrients in the masks fully.

Mask should be applied on dry, clean skin for 30 minutes. Hydrophilic hydrogel base technology together with the penetrating abilities of hyaluronan create a mask which is able to deliver the active ingredients into the skin, leading to significant improvement in skin hydration, skin tone and skin appearance within 30 minutes.

Mask should be removed gently and any excess moisture which is not absorbed after 30 minutes can be gently massaged into the skin.
