Vita Collagen
Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the human body; it is an essential element for connective tissues, makes up 30% of the total protein in the body, and 70% of the protein in the skin maintaining skin elasticity, hair strength, and all connective tissues.
As we grow in age, our body natural collagen production steadily declines reflecting on the epidermis (outer layer of skin) which becomes thin and loses elasticity in a process known as elastosis where it show more signs of aging and acquire more wrinkles.
While collagen is beneficial to the entire body, it is most noticeably beneficial to the skin. This is because as a person ages, the epidermic (outer layer of skin) thins and loses elasticity in a process known as elastosis. As this happens, a person tends to show more signs of aging and acquire more skin wrinkles.
Recent clinical trial published in 2015 found that women who took collagen hydrolysate (the peptide form) regularly for 8 weeks saw a 20% reduction in wrinkles and further after 8 weeks of intake a statistically significantly higher content of procollagen type I (65%) and elastin (18%) in the BCP-treated volunteers compared to the placebo-treated patients was detected.
This study also showed that collagen consumption increase skin elasticity and moisture, which also declines during the aging process. It is important to note that this study used the hydrolyzed form of Collagen, which is a more easily digestible form of collagen.

Other Benefits
Bone and Joint Health– Collagen hydrolysate has been shown to exert an anabolic effect on cartilage tissue. Clinical studies showed be beneficial in patients with osteoarthritis

Hormone Balance- Emerging research shows that the specific amino acids in collagen may help improve the amino acid balance in the body and support the body’s natural hormone production.
Benefit of adding Biotin
Biotin, or Vitamin B7, is a water-soluble vitamin that’s a part of the vitamin B complex, it acts as a coenzyme in the body that’s needed for the metabolism of fatty acids, amino acids and glucose and it plays a major part in maintaining the health of our hair, nails and skin.
Benefit of adding Vitamin C
It is well known that Vitamin C has the unique status of being considered as an anti-aging it provides a range of benefits of skin tone, revitalize skin’s surface, significantly improve hydration, and keep skin looking younger, longer.
