FREQUENT ASKED QUESTIONS


What is collagen?
Collagen is a structural protein found in the skin of the human body. It is known that as we age, collagen plays a key role in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other visible signs of skin aging.

How many types of collagen are there?
The most abundant types of collagen in the body are types I, II, and III. Type I collagen is most common in the skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments. Type II collagen is more common in cartilage. Type III collagen is typically found in the skin and bones, alongside type I collagen. In addition to its location, collagen also differs slightly in structure depending on whether it is type I, II, or III. However, when it comes to nutritional sources, the specific type or number of collagen types in a dietary supplement is not as important. Typically, collagen is distributed as collagen peptides, meaning the original structure of the collagen type has already been broken down. The collagen used in Beauty Focus Collagen+ (which starts as type I collagen) undergoes a specific process where collagen chains are separated or denatured and then hydrolyzed to form specific low molecular weight collagen peptides with a unique "peptide fingerprint." Collagen+ provides an effective dose of collagen peptides to support the beauty benefits advertised, which is ultimately more important than the type of collagen used.

Collagen peptides vs. collagen: what's the difference?
Collagen is a large molecule made up of three long polypeptide chains, each formed by different amino acids.
Collagen peptides are created from collagen but are very different. Collagen’s size is about 10 to 100 times larger than that of collagen peptides, with the size varying depending on the hydrolysis process.
A controlled treatment is the first step in producing our collagen hydrolysate. By adding a second specific, controlled enzymatic hydrolysis reaction, the supplier creates low molecular weight collagen peptides.
Because the peptides are smaller, they can be better absorbed by the skin compared to the full collagen molecule.

What is Beauty Focus Collagen+?
Beauty Focus Collagen+ is an innovative beauty supplement with collagen that includes expertly selected ingredients to provide proven anti-aging benefits. Each sachet of our mix contains collagen hydrolysate and wheat oil extract. It also contains lutein. Beauty Focus Collagen+ has been shown to help in various important areas for skin beauty. It helps maintain skin elasticity, positively influences skin radiance, helps maintain normal skin structure, and reduces the volume of wrinkles around the eyes after 4 months.

At what age should I start taking collagen?
Anyone from the age of 18 can safely take collagen. Additionally, Nu Skin's clinical study demonstrating the truth of the advertised beauty benefits was conducted for individuals aged 40 to 60.

Can I mix Collagen+ with a hot drink?
You can mix Collagen+ with liquids up to 80°C (176°F) without affecting the efficacy of the collagen hydrolysate. However, we suggest that the product be consumed immediately after mixing.
