Oral Skin Care Supplements an Increasingly Popular Option to Fight Signs of Aging
03 July 2024 - 12:15AM
Move over, lotions and serums: taking a skin care supplement is an
increasingly popular way to support healthy, youthful-looking skin.
A recent survey of over 3,000 Life Extension customers* revealed
that the top two skin care supplements are vitamin C, with 70% of
respondents taking it, while 53% choose traditional collagen
supplements. For those who would prefer a vegan alternative to
collagen, Life Extension has launched Vegan Pro Collagen. This
innovative formula delivers a clinically studied combination of
amino acids, vitamin C and botanical extracts to aid collagen
production in the body, and in clinical studies has been shown to
help reduce the appearance of wrinkles by 14%, enhance skin texture
by 13% and increase collagen density by 8% after just eight weeks
of use.*Life Extension Customer Survey conducted May 2024
“Our ingredients include a carefully curated blend of
collagen-friendly vitamin C, gotu kola and ginseng root extracts,
as well as the identical amino acid ‘building blocks’ as type I
collagen, which the body can use to make new collagen. This product
was developed in collaboration with a skin tissue expert, Dr. Josué
Jiménez Vázquez, PhD (National Polytechnic Institute, Mexico),
whose research led to the formulation of the first science-based
vegan alternative to type I animal collagen supplements,” explained
Life Extension’s Innovation Team Leader, Dr. Asha Jaja-Chimedza,
PhD.
According to Michael A. Smith, MD, Life Extension’s Director of
Education, there are no vegan sources of collagen, but there are
foods and ingredients that encourage normal collagen production in
the body like tofu, lentils, citrus fruits, gotu kola and ginseng
root. “If you follow vegan or vegetarian dietary patterns, or don’t
care for traditional collagen supplements, finding an alternative
that delivers collagen-friendly nutrients as well as an identical
amino acid profile is a proactive way to keep youthful-looking
skin,” he added.
Vegan Pro Collagen is the newest addition to Life Extension’s
skin health line. It includes Skin Care Collection Day and Night
Creams, topical lotions that support against signs of aging, and
Daily Skin Defense, an oral supplement that locks in moisture and
helps minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
