Jumping Right In, What Is Collagen?

Collagen is a special kind of protein that's mostly found in our skin, bones, and joints. It helps our skin keep its shape & remain firm. It strengthens the cartilage between our joints to keep them pain-free. And it also provides the hair with key amino acids it needs to grow and strengthen at the roots, preventing hair loss and thinning.

Collagen is mainly produced by the connective tissue cells in our skin. When we are young, our body makes a lot of collagen naturally, which keeps our skin strong, smooth and healthy. But as we get older, our bodies don't make as much collagen, which is why we all start to get fine lines & wrinkles or our skin, and it starts to sag more and more as we get older.

Clinical research has found that after the age of 20, our collagen levels begin to deplete and we produce less and less of it, as we age. By the time we reach 40 years old, we've lost OVER 40% of our collagen, causing our skin to wrinkle and sag.

Collagen is the key protein that holds our body together. It's not just in our skin, but also in our hair, nails, muscles, tendons, and even our blood vessels.  As we get older, the cells that make collagen don't work as well, which makes it easier to see the effects of aging on our skin, but also noticeable changes in the other areas where collagen is found. 

So what does Elavate’s collagen do?

Now, let's talk about how our Elavate's collagen works. Our collagen blend is made from a mix of collagen that comes from cows (we call this bovine collagen) and also from fish (also known as marine collagen). We make sure to eliminate all foul smells or taste when the collagen is extract, whilst still still keep all the nutrition value untouched, so your body can easily get all of the good stuff and none of the bad. 

Both the bovine and fish collagen in our blend are super easy for your body. That's because we put the collagen through a process called "hydrolysis". Think of it like this: usually, our bodies can't use absorb big pieces of collagen into our blood stream. BUT if the collagen is broken down in really really small particles, then our body can absorb it really quickly and actually put it to use. "Hydrolysis" is the process us making the collagen particles as small as they can be so you can get the most of them. BEWARE of collagen brands that skip this important step, because whilst they might be selling regular "bovine collagen", if it isn't "hydrolysed", your body won't actually be able to use it.

Once you digest our collagen, it goes into your tummy and then quickly enters your blood stream. From there, it travels all over your body, sharing itself with key areas that your body has identified that you lack collagen in. Some people feel the effects of collagen supplements in their skin first because their body has recognised that it's a depleted area, whilst other first notice changes in their joints and hair. 

Once your cells receiving an source of collagen, the realise they need to produce even more themselves, and that helps track your body into boosting it's own natural collagen production. If your goal is to keep your skin looking healthy, your hair shiny, and your joints strong - then collagen supplements are the EXACT solution you've been waiting for. 

How does Collagen Work?

Elavate’s collagen powder provides you with a clinically effective dose of collagen in a delicious chocolate flavored powder form. Each serving contains 7050mg of collagen, combined with several KEY active ingredients to ensure the collagen is absorbed at the highest rate possible. This includes 150mg of Liposomal Vitamin C, the highest grade of Vitamin C that DOESN’T get destroyed by your stomach’s digestive acids (unlike most other cheap Vitamin C supplements).  Elavate also contains clinically effective doses of Hyaluronic Acid to help hydrate your dry skin and Biotin to help increase your hair and nail growth. 

Reductions in Fine Lines

A 2019 trial conducted on female participants aged 35 or older, revealed participants show a significant reduction in fine lines when taking collagen over a 12 week period VS a placebo.

The majority of women notice these reduction around their eye area and their smile upper/lower lip.

Improvements in Skin Elasticity

Bovine and fish collagen have been proven to have notable impacts on not only reducing the visible appearance of fine lines & wrinkles, but also hydrating the skin to give it a soft, natural glow.

Studies conducted VS placebo proves that collagen can increase skin elasticity by up to 30% during a 12 week consumption period.

Improvements in Nail Growth & Hail Strength

Clinical trials have also noticed the positive effects in the rate of nail growth and thickness and strength of hail whilst supplementing with a minimum of 5 grams of collagen daily across a 12 week period.
