The [HC] Collagen Complex®

With ELASTEN®, you're choosing a scientifically sound beauty concept from within: The patented [HC]-Collagen Complex® delivers specifically developed collagen peptides that your body can optimally absorb and integrate into your skin's own structures. Instead of relying on high dosages or artificial additives, ELASTEN® impresses with its quality, proven effectiveness, and excellent tolerability. Discover how modern collagen research and clinically proven results can contribute to visibly firmer and more elastic skin.

Beautiful skin from within.

With the patented [HC]-Collagen Complex®.

ELASTEN® contains the special [HC]-Collagen Complex®. This has been tested in clinical studies. The collagen peptides it contains have a very high degree of similarity to the natural collagen in your body. ELASTEN® is the only nutrient-rich drinkable collagen that has proven its positive beauty effects in several product-specific studies¹. It does so without large amounts of collagen, additional hyaluronic acid, or artificial enhancers.

Here you can find out why this works, what is important and what distinguishes ELASTEN® from other collagen products in terms of effectiveness and tolerability.

  • Not all collagen peptides are created equal.

    The quality and composition of the collagen peptides are crucial, and these are the result of a complex manufacturing process. The [HC]-Collagen Complex® is the result of years of ELASTEN® research. The short-chain peptides are particularly well absorbed by the body – they exhibit very good bioavailability.

    One thing applies to all collagen peptides: 2.5 grams per day is the ideal amount.

  • Certified quality

    ELASTEN® is the original drinkable collagen. Its positive effects on skin and beauty have been proven in several product-specific studies¹. To ensure consistently high quality, the contents of the drinkable ampoules are regularly tested according to strict guidelines by the SGS Institut Fresenius.

  • Gentle production

    The collagen peptides in ELASTEN® are produced from natural collagen using a special biological process. They undergo a proprietary, patent-pending purification process, ensuring they remain exceptionally pure and of high quality.

  • The No. 1 from Germany³

    Popular worldwide: Only ELASTEN® drinkable ampoules contain the special [HC] Collagen Complex®. Trust the original for beautiful skin from within, with proven effectiveness, improved glow, and a reduction in fine lines. The key to beautiful skin from the inside out.

  • Good tolerability

    ELASTEN® is very well tolerated and suitable for long-term use. No interactions with medications or cosmetics are known or expected for the ingredients it contains. Furthermore, ELASTEN® contains no alcohol, lactose, or gluten.

  • Only one ampoule per day

    Take one ELASTEN® drinking ampoule daily after a meal. Morning is the best time to take it, as your metabolism is particularly active at this time, allowing the nutrients to be well distributed throughout your body.

High bioavailability.

Oral administration of an active ingredient is often insufficient to achieve positive effects on the skin. Crucially, the active ingredient must have good bioavailability. The collagen peptides in ELASTEN® are specially processed. They closely resemble the body's own collagen and are highly bioavailable . Numerous studies have demonstrated that the bioavailability and transport of collagen peptides can be verified using modern testing methods.

The key to inner beauty.

The key to beautiful skin from within lies in the unique composition of ingredients. The special [HC]-Collagen Complex® contains peptides – small protein building blocks that are very similar to human collagen. It is complemented by high-quality nutrients that are essential for the skin:

  • Zinc to support normal skin function
  • Vitamin C is essential for normal collagen formation – important for the skin.
  • Biotin for maintaining normal skin
  • Vitamin E to protect skin cells from oxidative stress
More about the ingredients
  • Collagen

    Collagen is the most important structural protein of the skin.

    In the deeper layers of the skin, collagen fibers form a three-dimensional network. This network is called the matrix. It provides structure and firmness to the skin.

    Only in an intact collagen structure can further water-retaining substances (e.g. hyaluronic acid) be stored, which plumps up the skin from within and gives it a smoother and more youthful appearance.

  • Vitamin C

    An indispensable all-rounder for the biological processes in the skin: Vitamin C

    The natural acerola extract contained in ELASTEN® is rich in vitamin C. This protects cells from oxidative stress through its antioxidant effect. Additionally, vitamin C supports the body's own collagen production, even in the deeper layers of the skin. Thus, it contributes to the normal function of connective tissue.

  • zinc

    The trace element zinc is vital for us and cannot be produced by the body itself.

    Zinc is involved in more than 200 biochemical processes. It is essential for maintaining healthy skin and hair. Because skin and hair follicle cells have an intensive metabolism and divide rapidly, these areas particularly benefit from the trace element zinc.

  • Biotin

    Biotin – THE vitamin for skin, hair and nails

    Biotin (vitamin H) contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and hair. Additionally, it plays an important role in the normal metabolic processes of micronutrients and contributes to normal energy metabolism.

  • Vitamin E

    Vitamin E acts as an effective antioxidant and protects the cells.

    Vitamin E neutralizes the highly reactive oxidative compounds produced in skin cells by UV radiation. In this way, it protects cell membranes and lipoproteins from damage. It also helps protect skin cells from oxidative stress.

  • You can do without that.

    What you can do without

    1. Hyaluronic acid

    Hyaluronic acid is not useful in drinkable ampoules. The long-chain sugar molecule is broken down directly in the body after ingestion.

    2. Artificial sweeteners

    Since your cells need some energy to function, one ampoule of ELASTEN® contains approximately as much fructose as a quarter of an apple.

    3. Artificial flavors and colors

    ELASTEN® contains only natural flavors and taste from other high-quality ingredients. Therefore, no artificial flavors or colors are necessary.
