Frequently Asked Questions

The body's collagen production steadily declines from the age of 25. Furthermore, external factors such as UV radiation, smoking, and air pollution negatively impact the collagen balance in the deeper layers of the skin. As a result, the skin's structure and framework begin to deteriorate, leading to wrinkles and fine lines. This is precisely where ELASTEN®, with its special collagen peptides, comes into play. The vitamin C contained in ELASTEN® stimulates skin cells to produce collagen again. Therefore, taking it is beneficial even from this age.

The main ingredient in ELASTEN® is the [HC]-Collagen Complex® specially developed for ELASTEN® with highly bioavailable collagen peptides that are particularly similar to natural collagen and have important functions in the skin.

While conventional collagen powders often only use pure collagen, ELASTEN® contains skin-relevant nutrients to maintain lasting beauty:

• Acerola fruit extract is a high-quality source of antioxidants and vitamin C.
• Vitamin C supports healthy collagen production in the skin. This is not possible without vitamin C, as the collagen-producing cells require vitamin C for this process.
• Biotin and zinc contribute to normal skin function.
• Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

Without unnecessary ingredients.

ELASTEN® should ideally be taken in the morning with or after breakfast, as the metabolism is more active throughout the day, ensuring optimal distribution of the ingredients throughout the body. We recommend taking one ampoule per day for at least three months. Even if initial effects are noticeable after just one month, the body's natural processes need time to achieve optimal results. ELASTEN® is very well tolerated, even with continuous use!

• Practical application: Ready-to-drink formula, ideal for on the go – only once a day, ideally in the morning

ELASTEN® works in the deeper layers of the skin and thus complements creams and serums that only work on the surface.

ELASTEN® ampoules are simple and convenient to use: they are ready to drink and ideal for on the go – unlike collagen powders, which first need to be stirred into liquid. Liquid is also more easily absorbed by the stomach than a tablet, so the ingredients are quickly and effectively available to the body. The ingredients are distributed throughout the body via the blood vessels and thus reach the deeper layers of the skin.

ELASTEN® is characterized by very good tolerability and is suitable for long-term use. Interactions with medications are not known or expected for ELASTEN® or its individual ingredients. However, as is generally the case with foods and natural substances, individual reactions or intolerances cannot be completely ruled out with ELASTEN®. ELASTEN® is alcohol-free, lactose-free, and gluten-free.

ELASTEN® is also suitable for men. Despite some differences between female and male skin, both often experience declining collagen production, which can lead to unwanted wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and lack of skin moisture. Collagen forms the basic structure of the network (matrix) in the deeper layers of the skin, which is crucial for the skin's appearance and firmness. ELASTEN® also provides men's skin with important dermo-nutrients, such as vitamin C for collagen production, thus ensuring radiant beauty for them as well.

No, but they are further broken down. This is necessary for the effective absorption of the peptides and amino acids in the small intestine. If the peptides were to reach the small intestine without prior contact with stomach acid, their bioavailability would be significantly lower. The digestive process in the stomach is therefore crucial.

Refrigerating ELASTEN® is not necessary, but perfectly fine. The ingredients are not affected. Many users find ELASTEN® tastes even better chilled.

All ingredients in ELASTEN® are approved for dietary supplementation, well-tolerated, and do not exceed the reference intakes for vitamins and minerals. There is no known evidence that any of the individual ingredients should not be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Therefore, no data known to us suggests that ELASTEN® should not be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, since there are no direct product-specific studies on the use of ELASTEN® during pregnancy or breastfeeding, we ask that you discuss its use with your pharmacist or doctor.

Skin physiology is a slow process, so ELASTEN® should generally be taken for a longer period of at least 3 months. Studies conducted with ELASTEN® show the best results after this time. Initial positive beauty effects can be visible after just 4 weeks – these intensify with continued use. ELASTEN® is very well tolerated and can therefore be taken long-term.

1. Composition:
The [HC]-Collagen Complex® used exclusively in ELASTEN® facilitates absorption through a combination of collagen peptides of varying sizes. These collagen peptides are particularly similar to human collagen. While conventional collagen powders often contain only pure collagen, ELASTEN® contains other important skin-relevant nutrients for maintaining lasting beauty:

• Vitamin C supports healthy collagen production in the skin.
• Biotin and zinc contribute to normal skin function.
• Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

ELASTEN® was formulated for maximum effectiveness without unnecessary ingredients.

2. Quality:
ELASTEN® products are manufactured in Germany according to the highest quality standards. Quality is also regularly monitored under strict guidelines to ensure consistently high quality. The hologram seal further attests to this superior quality and serves to verify the certificate of authenticity.

3. Studies:
ELASTEN® relies on product-specific studies, while many competitors only cite general literature. The studies with ELASTEN® showed impressive results:*

• First effects noticeable after just 4 weeks
• Optimal results after 3 months of use
• Sustainable impact proven in studies

Further advantages:

• Practical application: Ready-to-drink formula, ideal for on the go – only once a day
• Pleasantly fruity taste
• It's no coincidence that they are number 1 in Germany with a customer satisfaction rating of 94%**
• It can be used long-term and is very well tolerated.

ELASTEN® has a fruity and fresh acerola cherry taste. Insider tip: The drinkable ampoules can also be stored in the refrigerator and taste even better chilled!

Due to its excellent tolerability, ELASTEN® can generally be used continuously. This ensures a constant supply of collagen peptides and dermonutrients to the skin. Breaks after taking ELASTEN® are possible, but not necessary. When to resume taking it after a break depends largely on individual results, making it difficult to give a general recommendation. Since studies have shown that the effects of ELASTEN® last at least 4-8 weeks, resuming daily use after this period is recommended.

The short-chain collagen peptides specially developed for ELASTEN® are derived from collagen-containing raw materials of animal origin and are produced in a special enzymatic process. Collagen-containing components of bovine skin are used in the manufacturing process. ELASTEN® is manufactured in Germany in accordance with the highest quality standards.

Specifically, the following nutritional values ​​are contained in one drinking ampoule (25 ml) of ELASTEN®:
• Protein: 2.58 g
• Carbohydrates: 3.55 g, of which sugars: One drinking ampoule of ELASTEN® (25 ml) contains 2.73 g of fructose. This corresponds to approximately the amount in a quarter of an apple.
• Fat: 0.04 g

One ELASTEN® drinking ampoule contains 26 kcal (111 kJ). This covers barely more than 1% of the calorie needs of a woman aged 25 and over.
