The new, gentle way to beautiful skin: Drinkable collagen in the form of gelatine

Brussels/Frankfurt am Main, 25 March 2003.
Collagen is an important source of moisture for the skin, and is particularly effective if it can develop its effect from directly within the body. With conventional treatment methods the collagen is injected into the skin on a regular basis. But who wants beauty if the price is pain? There is now a much gentler and more natural alternative! The new trend is towards drinkable collagen in the form of gelatine. The collagen protein is transported directly to the connective tissues – right where it is needed – and thus ensures natural beauty from within.

Collagen protein is produced by the body itself, and helps keep the skin taut and firm by binding water, thus raising the moisture content of the skin. The skin appears smooth and soft. The amount of collagen in the skin begins to decrease once we reach the age of 24. The remaining collagen is no longer as effective as it was in our very early years. And so from this point in time onwards, we have to actively help. The valuable protein gelatine aids the connective tissue, ensuring taut, firm skin.

An end to pain as the price for beauty

Taken orally gelatine is absorbed directly into the bloodstream, through which it is transported directly to where it is needed, the connective tissues. The amino acids glycine and proline, which are found in a concentrated form in gelatine, are the building blocks for connective tissues. The protein ensures enhanced hydration of the skin. This reduces the formation of wrinkles. If wrinkles have already appeared the depth of wrinkles can be noticeably reduced through the intake of gelatine.

Further beauty benefits: Gelatine strengthens the hair, lending it a silky, shiny gleam. Fingernails are also stronger, meaning they don't break as quickly and are a pleasure to manicure. Experts recommend a daily intake of 10 grams of collagen protein so as to maintain natural beauty. Gelatine is available as a powder for mixed drinks from drugstores, the health food stores and chemists.

Forget painful injections. Try the gentle and natural method with drinkable gelatine!
