Avant le début de l’étude: Après 8 semaines:
114 women aged 45-65 years took part in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study for 8 weeks. One group received daily standarized bioative collagen peptides (included in BeautyCollagenMatrix®) while the control group received a non-active powder (placebo). Already after 4 weeks, positive effects were observed on the dermal matrix. After 8 weeks the appearance of the skin and the skin matrix improved significantly: dermal procollagen type I increased by +65%, elastin by +18% (compared to placebo, illustration1*). But not only the skin matrix improved significantly but also the winkles around the eyes. For each woman 3-dimensional pictures were taken and measured by computers before and after the study. On average wrinkles around the eyes decreased by -20% (winkle volume, depth and width), with a maximum reduction of up to 49% (illustration 2*).
44 healthy women, aged 39 to 75 years, have consumed 2500 mg of the standardised bioactive collagen (included in BeautyCollagenMatrix®) daily for 16 weeks, or have taken a placebo. Hair thickness was measured before and after the 16 weeks. This placebo-controlled study showed a significant increase in hair thickness of an average of 3% for the group that consumed the bioactive collagen. At the same time, researchers carried out an “in vitro” study on the cells of the hair follicle and found a 31% increase in cell proliferation.
