Can I Use Collagen?

Find out if collagen is something you should be supplementing with

Collagen from Collagen UK is 100% natural, every ingredient found within our collagen gel is found naturally within the human body. All of our products are created using the highest levels of biotechnical knowledge meaning the product you receive is the culmination of years of scientific research and testing. Our products contain no chemical preservatives, artificial colours or perfumes.

As we know 30% of total human protein mass is collagen, it is responsible for:

• The firmness and elasticity of skin
• The correct levels of moisture within the skin
• Cell renewal and regeneration
• Acting as a "repair centre" in areas throughout the body

There are a number of benefits to using collagen from Collagen UK including:

• Maintaining correct moisture levels within the skin
• The firming of the skin on the application area
• Improving skin immunology, compactness and pigmentation
• The regeneration of hair and nails
• The smoothing of scars, stretch marks and burns
• Ideal for allergic and problematic skin, even acne.

So to summarise ...

Collagen is a natural product that is non-invasive, without any negative side-effects and does not cause irritations or allergies. It is a 100% natural product which does not cause skin based addiction as some cosmetic products can do. The product is used to simply encourage your body to produce more natural collagen at a quicker rate (collagen synthesis). This means it is recommended that collagen is used as part of your daily routine. Collagen is a safe, natural material that can be used by the whole family.

Men: Uses & Effects of Collagen

We live in a world where male grooming and the "style conscious male" has grown massively. Gone have the days of a little splash of water on the face and some aftershave. This increase in men who care about their appearance has led to more products focussed purely on men and here at Collagen UK we are no different. Our products can be used by anyone and men certainly aren't an exception, in fact a large proportion of our customer base are male. Below are a few specific collagen uses for men:

• Collagen gel can be used as a great aftershave balm, combating redness and smoothing the effected area.
• The use of Graphite collagen gel can increase the production of collagen within hair follicles promoting growth.
• Colvita can promote muscle growth and is used by a number of competition level bodybuilders including Marek Bormanski
• Our products aren't gender specific and therefore all effects of all products apply to men and women.

Women: Uses & Effects of Collagen

Women account for the largest usage in the world of cosmetics and beauty products and this is no surprise. The most common effects of our products have been listed below:

• The use of Platinum Collagen gel can greatly reduce the appearance of mimic wrinkles, as cab be seen in this 90-day before and after usage test.
• Stretch marks can be improved with the use of Silver Collagen Gel and our Collagen Anti-Cellulite Serum.
• The strength of both nails and hair can be improved with the use of Graphite Collagen.

Young: Uses & Effects of Collagen

Our collagen can be safely used for:

• Sensitive & Dry Skin
