What is collagen?

Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the human body. It plays a structural role in tissues, providing tensile strength and ensuring the firmness and elasticity of the skin. There are several types of collagen; the most abundant is "type 1," which is found in the skin, bones, and tendons.

Choosing a collagen supplement isn't easy. It's important to select one based on its size, origin, ingredients, and form. At Laboté, we've opted for powder form, which allows us to offer a higher quantity of collagen.

At Laboté, we have chosen to combine collagen with other active ingredients to increase its effectiveness in the skin and the assimilation of collagen by the tissues:

• Hydrolyzed marine type I collagen prevents the appearance of wrinkles and contributes to the firmness of your skin.
• Vitamin C is necessary for collagen synthesis and boosts the immune system.
• Hyaluronic acid prevents the appearance of wrinkles and hydrates the skin.
• Zinc promotes cell regeneration.

We chose marine collagen of type 1 and size 2000 DA, that is to say, cut into smaller size allowing better assimilation by the body.

A clinical study conducted by dermatologists in Nice on 60 women demonstrated that taking 5g of collagen per day for 8 weeks resulted in an 11% reduction in wrinkles, particularly around the eyes, and a 20% increase in firmness.

Collagen treatments can begin at age 25, the age from which the body's natural production of collagen begins to decline.

Taking a collagen supplement stimulates the production of collagen in your body, helps prevent the appearance of wrinkles on the face, and contributes to skin firmness. Our pharmacy experts recommend taking 5g of collagen per day for 4 weeks to see initial results.
