Blue Kollagen. It is a nutraceutical composed of hydrolyzed marine collagen 10 g (10% hydroxyproline), low molecular weight hyaluronic acid of vegetable origin, cysteine 250 mg, red algae extract Lithotamnium calcareum (7% silica), vitamin C, resveratrol, astaxanthin, biotin, zinc, lycopene. It is a dietary supplement formulated with ingredients selected for daily nutritional supplementation. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for normal skin function.
Blue Kollagen is an all-in-one formula that combines hydrolyzed marine collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamins, minerals, and plant-based ingredients. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for normal skin function, while biotin and zinc contribute to the maintenance of normal skin and hair. Zinc also contributes to the maintenance of normal nails.
COLLAGEN SYNTHESIS COMPLEX
(Marine Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, Silicon and Resveratrol)
Collagen is a structural component of the extracellular matrix. Over the course of a lifetime, its production and turnover are subject to physiological variations, which are also linked to age and various individual and environmental factors.
Hydrolyzed marine collagen and hyaluronic acid are two key components of the Blue Kollagen formulation. Collagen is a structural protein of connective tissue, while hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide naturally present in the extracellular matrix, characterized by its ability to bind water molecules.
Marine collagen is a pure form of protein produced by fish. The remaining fish skin from food production is thoroughly washed, then enzymatically hydrolyzed to produce the marine collagen peptides. These peptides have a smaller molecular size than the original protein. Marine collagen has an amino acid profile characterized primarily by glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline—amino acids typical of collagen’s structure. The enzymatic hydrolysis process yields collagen peptides used in nutritional formulations.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a cofactor of several enzymes, most notably proline hydroxylase, necessary for collagen synthesis. It cannot be produced by the body and must be obtained from the diet. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin, cartilage, bones, and blood vessels. It also helps protect cells from oxidative stress. Proline hydroxylation is in fact an essential biochemical process for the maintenance of connective tissue. Blue Kollagen contains natural vitamin C extracted from Malpighia glabra, a plant that grows in Central and South America. The fruit called acerola is rich in natural vitamin C that is better assimilated by the body. Acerola is a plant-based source of vitamin C, a nutrient that contributes to the normal function of the immune system and helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
Lithothamnium calcareum. Silicon is a structural element of connective tissue and is involved in the constitution of the main macromolecules such as elastin, collagen, proteoglycans and glycoproteins, promoting their regeneration. The silicon content is closely related to the optimal conditions of the skin, such as the rate of hydration, elasticity, absence of wrinkles and expression lines, skin and dermis regeneration capacity. The silicon in the Blue Kollagen formulation is
derived from Lithothamnium calcareum extract, a red marine algae characterized by a mineral matrix containing various elements, including calcium and magnesium.
Resveratrol. Collagen is degraded by metalloproteinases (MMPs), proteolytic enzymes that break down the long protein chains that make up collagen, forming shorter fragments without mechanical properties. The MMPs are a family of molecules similar in chemical structure, with different specificities for a wide variety of substrates, able to degrade all components of the extracellular matrix (collagen, elastin, proteoglycans). The MMPs most involved in the processes of skin aging are the MMP1, which initiate the degradation of collagen type I and III; the MMP9, which operate a further fragmentation into smaller peptides; while the MMP2 attack the collagen type IV, contributing to the formation of wrinkles. The extracellular matrix is subject to continuous
physiological processes of synthesis and degradation of its components.
Metalloproteinases participate in these remodeling processes. Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol found in various plant species and has been the subject of
studies on its properties.
CAROTENOID COMPLEX AND PLANT COMPOUNDS
(Astaxanthin, Lycopene, Vitamin C, Resveratrol)
Blue Kollagen contains a combination of natural carotenoids, such as astaxanthin and lycopene, combined with vitamin C and resveratrol. Vitamin C helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
Astaxanthin is a natural red-orange pigment, belonging to the large family of carotenoids and produced naturally by some microorganisms, such as the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, Chlorella zofingiensis and Chlorococcum. Astaxanthin belongs to the xanthophyll family, a class
of carotenoids characterized by the presence of oxygen-containing groups in their chemical structure. It is a fat-soluble pigment found naturally in various biological matrices and is the subject of numerous scientific studies.
Lycopene. is a natural carotenoid belonging to the carotene family, characterized by a polyene structure responsible for its red color. It is particularly abundant in tomatoes and other vegetables. Lycopene is a fat-soluble compound that has been extensively studied for its
chemical properties and its presence in numerous plant-based foods.
HAIR AND NAIL HEALTH
(Biotin, Zinc L-Cysteine)
Blue Kollagen contains a carefully selected combination of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Biotin and zinc help maintain normal hair, while zinc also helps
maintain normal nails. Both help maintain normal skin.
Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in numerous physiological processes. Zinc plays a role in the activity of numerous enzymes and contributes to normal protein synthesis, normal immune system function, and the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Zinc contributes to: the maintenance of normal hair, the maintenance of normal nails, the maintenance of normal skin, the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to normal protein synthesis.
Biotin is a coenzyme that belongs to the group of B vitamins (Vitamin B7 or Vitamin H). It is an element involved in the process of metabolism and formation of fatty acids; once taken, in fact, it is first absorbed by the ileum and then transported to the liver and finally to other tissues. It can be found in foods such as: cauliflower, carrots, spinach, mushrooms, cheese, eggs, beans, fish, white meat and red meat. Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and skin and to normal energy metabolism.
L-cysteine is a conditionally essential sulfur amino acid that is a building block of protein. Cysteine is a key component of the protein keratin because of its ability to form disulfide bridges that give strength and stiffness to the protein. Cysteine helps build the keratin structure of hair and nails. Keratin is a fibrous protein that makes up the structure of skin, nails and hair. Cysteine residues participate in the formation of disulfide bonds, which
contribute to the structure and mechanical properties of keratin. Hair consists of three layers, the cuticle, cortex and medulla. L-Cysteine is a sulfur compound precursor in keratinization, an important process in the formation of hair, skin and nails. L-cysteine is also one of the three amino acids that make up
glutathione, along with glutamic acid and glycine.
