The stars in the Beautyhacker Collagen Drink are the high-quality collagen peptides. Followed by vitamin C which is essential for collagen production. Vitamin E helps your skin to protect itself from oxidative stress. The beauty vitamin "biotin" and the trace element zinc complete the high-dose mix.

1. The structural protein collagen

In the human body, collagen accounts for over 30% of the total mass proteins the most abundant protein. The proportion in the skin is even approx. 80%. It is therefore an essential organic component of the skin and the connective tissue . Collagen received its name from the Greek (“ producing glue” ) due to its earlier use as a bone glue in woodcraft. collagen fibers have an enormous tensile strenght and are hardly stretchable.

Our collagen peptides have important anti-aging functions for the elasticity and moisture of the skin. Through your bioactivity you have a positive influence on the condition and function of the body. Each of our sticks contains 5g of high-quality collagen and therefore also 5g of valuable protein. This high protein content corresponds to that of a medium-sized egg.

2. vitamin C

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is of central importance for collagen production because it helps in two ways: it protects the collagen structure from free radicals and supports the body in the production of new collagen. In this way, vitamin C ensures a healthy and stable collagen structure that can withstand greater tension before it tears. The skin stays wrinkle-free longer. By the way: 100g of lemons provide 50mg of vitamin C. Each of our collagen sticks contains 80mg of vitamin C and thus covers the daily requirement. Together with the vitamin E they contain the perfect mixture for your skin.

3. vitamin E

Vitamin E helps the skin protect itself from oxidative stress. In patients with neurodermatitis supplementation of vitamin E even led to a significant improvement in symptoms over a period of eight months. Vegetable oils such as sunflower oil, olive oil or wheat germ oil also have particularly high levels of vitamin E. The minimum requirement is 4 mg per day. We have integrated 12mg into our daily dose.

4. biotin

Biotin is a water soluble Vitamin and is also called vitamin B ₇ or called vitamin H. H, as it can contribute to the maintenance of normal skin and hair. the German Society for Nutrition gives 30–60 μg/day as an estimate for the adequate intake in healthy adults. Each Aqua Collagen Stick contains 50 μg.

5. zinc

The trace element zinc also contributes to the maintenance of normal skin. Zinc is one of the indispensable (essential) trace elements for the metabolism and fulfills many different functions in the body. So it takes key roles in the Sugar-, Fat- and protein metabolism and is involved in building the genetic material and at cell growth. Both that immune system as well as many hormones need zinc for their function. The recommended daily amount German Society for Nutrition is 10 mg per day for adult men and 7 mg per day for adult women. We have limited the amount to 5mg per stick. Other good sources of zinc include: red meats, cheese, lentils, oatmeal, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, and even green tea.

You will find the five active ingredients in our practical collagen sticks - the perfect daily dose for your glow. High five!
