BEAUTY FROM WITHIN WITH LASTING EFFECTIVENESS
Our studies prove the long-lasting effectiveness of ELASTEN®.
ELASTEN® is Unique: Proven Beauty Benefits
Several product-specific, placebo-controlled blind studies have demonstrated the beauty effects of ELASTEN®. Unlike studies that rely on outdated collagen research, these internationally published studies focus exclusively on ELASTEN® and show visible beauty benefits across the entire body within just one month.
THROUGH POSITIVE COLLAGEN BALANCE TO SUSTAINABLE BEAUTY
The skin’s appearance is shaped by natural structural processes and external factors like UV radiation, nicotine, and environmental toxins. The dermis, or middle skin layer, plays a crucial role due to its high collagen and hyaluronic acid content. Collagen forms the foundational network (matrix) in the deeper skin layers, essential for the skin’s appearance, tone, and elasticity.

Focus on Drinking Collagen
Key skin components like collagen and hyaluronan are produced by fibroblasts in connective tissue. Collagen, the most abundant structural protein in the body, is crucial for skin density, hydration, and elasticity. Research has long focused on the oral intake of specialized collagen peptides to optimize collagen balance. For effective results, these peptides must be of high quality and have excellent bioavailability.
How Our Skin Ages
Collagen is constantly broken down and must be replenished by cells. While this process works efficiently when we are young, it slows down with age. As a result, the body’s collagen levels decline, leading to a negative collagen balance where more collagen is broken down than produced. This happens because collagen-producing cells become less effective over time.
Collagen content decreases with age
It All Depends on Quality
The size and composition of collagen peptides, such as glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, vary based on manufacturing parameters. When taken orally, these peptides are further broken down in the stomach, a natural digestion process essential for optimal absorption.
Influenced by Hormones
Collagen production is also affected by hormone levels, particularly during menopause, when decreased estrogen levels lead to a decline in collagen production. Research shows that after age 25, collagen production gradually decreases, and this reduction becomes more pronounced after menopause.
BIOAVAILABILITY - THE KEY TO EFFICACY
Bioavailability is Key
For positive effects on the skin, an orally taken ingredient must also be bioavailable. Bioavailability refers to the amount of an ingested component, like collagen peptides, that reaches the bloodstream via digestion and is made available to target tissues, such as the skin. The special collagen peptides in ELASTEN® closely resemble natural collagen in the body and are highly bioavailable.

The Path to Beauty from Within
After oral intake, collagen peptides are broken down in the stomach by enzymes like pepsin, just as they are during regular digestion. This process reduces the peptides into smaller fragments, enhancing their absorption in the small intestine. Proper digestion is crucial; without exposure to gastric acid, the bioavailability of these peptides would be significantly reduced. Unlike certain drugs that require protection from gastric acid, natural collagen peptides rely on this process for their effectiveness.

CURRENT STUDIES AND
SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES
The Quality of Collagen Peptides Matters
Not all collagen peptides are created equal; their quality and composition vary significantly. It’s crucial that studies are conducted on the specific product, not just its individual ingredients. ELASTEN® has been rigorously tested in multiple placebo-controlled clinical studies, which have demonstrated significant improvements in skin hydration, elasticity, roughness, and density compared to a placebo. These effects were observable throughout the body, including the face, décolleté, forearm, and thigh.
