Reserveage Nutrition, Boca Raton, FL, has developed Plant-Based Support Collagen Builder—a vegan-friendly alternative for supporting collagen synthesis, with ceramides for skin hydration and softness.
“This is monumental in the category. Collagen is a building block of healthy skin. Individuals living a vegan lifestyle now have a choice for supporting collagen production,” says Naomi Whittel, Reserveage Nutrition’s founder and CEO. “It combines collagen co-nutrients including amino acids, silica and vitamin C to support pro-collagen, the precursor to collagen production. What’s especially exciting is it contains a patented ingredient called Ceramosides, which helps replenish lipids that lock moisture and hydrate skin. Participants in the clinical trial for this ingredient reported noticeable results in as little as two weeks.”
Ms. Whittel was recently featured in an Elle magazine story (September 2015) that followed her quest for traditional nutritional sources of collagen, having been inspired by the collagen-based beauty secrets in European and Asian cultures.
“Collagen production in the body starts declining in a woman’s mid-twenties,” she explains. “Think about it — there’s an incremental drop in the body’s production of the critical building blocks of skin structure and tone during a woman’s life. The picture isn’t pretty—showing up as dryness and rough texture. That’s why we’ve developed our new vegan-friendly formula with collagen precursors that provide additional nutritional support for the body to make its own healthy collagen.”
Reserveage Nutrition’s Plant-Based Support Collagen Builder features naturally derived silica from bamboo and natural vitamin C from Indian Gooseberries (Amla extract) to deliver co-nutrients for collagen production. It is 100% vegan and gluten-free. In addition, the polyphenols featured in the formula are derived from hand-picked white tea. An amino acid blend combines three naturally occurring protein sub-units that work with co-nutrients to support pro-collagen activity, the precursor to collagen production.
