Superstrava Super Collagen Coffee Upgraded 93g

Product detailed description

You might associate collagen with expensive anti-wrinkle creams, but if you browse social media like Instagram or YouTube, you'll find that quite a few fitness bloggers are fans of collagen coffee. A new collagen coffee trend is sweeping the world, but what is collagen and why have people taken such a liking to it? What benefits does it bring to our health?

What is collagen?

Collagen is one of the nutrients found in gelatine, a rubbery substance derived from animal bones, mainly from livestock, poultry and seafood. Collagen has no taste, which for many people means it can easily be consumed regularly.

While bones are rich in collagen, they also contain other amino acids such as glycine and glutamine, which have many benefits for the whole body.

Benefits of regularly drinking collagen coffee

With collagen, you can turn your morning coffee into a nutritional powerhouse, balancing the effects of caffeine with protein, meaning you'll have energy for the whole day.

Improves digestion

For our diet to be as effective as possible, our small intestine must absorb good nutrients from food. Without sufficient digestive function in the stomach or small intestine, a proper diet won't offer many benefits.

Collagen can protect the mucosal lining of the digestive system, which plays a huge role in absorption and complete digestion.

Nourishes skin, nails and hair

Our hair, skin and nails reflect what's happening inside our body. Amino acids, such as those found in collagen, can nourish hair, skin and nails because they renew cells and give them elasticity - without this, skin becomes dry and hair and nails become brittle. It can also help reduce signs of skin ageing, including wrinkles and fine lines.

Strengthens the liver

While coffee has its own benefits for improving liver function, collagen can be an exceptionally useful support for strengthening the role of the body's main detoxifying organ. The liver has many duties, the most important of which is eliminating toxins. The liver filters the blood, removes toxins and chemicals, and prepares them to be excreted from the body via the intestines and bladder. When the mechanisms behind these detoxification pathways are compromised, the body remains more toxic.

How does Verisol work?

As for the effects of the Verisol product, first of all it's important to say that specific peptides are the result of various catabolic processes. They boost overall collagen metabolism, which offsets its degradation in the dermis. The result is a supply of collagen and extracellular matrix. This is because these components are reduced by environmental factors and age.

Improves skin health

Verisol contains the aforementioned specific peptides that support collagen production. As a result, they improve the overall condition and health of the skin. Verisol is taken orally, influencing collagen production from within. A number of scientific studies have also confirmed that Verisol reduces wrinkle formation and increases skin hydration.

Higher elasticity¹

Thanks to its composition, Verisol also acts on skin elasticity. Scientific studies have been carried out on this effect, which confirmed that women aged 35-55 had up to 15% higher elasticity after using Verisol. This study ran for several weeks, during which it was found that women had increasingly higher skin elasticity. Among other things, oral intake is also a major advantage, as it has higher efficacy.

Reduces wrinkles²

As we mentioned above, Verisol can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and also reduce them. A study was also conducted focusing on more than 100 middle-aged women. It was shown that Verisol reduces wrinkles after just four weeks, while also supporting procollagen formation.

Oral intake of specific collagen peptides reduces wrinkles and increases dermal matrix synthesis.

Reduces cellulite

Verisol is a product that contains special peptides. These can also reduce the appearance of cellulite, or even reduce it altogether. Cellulite, otherwise known as orange-peel skin, is a problem for approximately 85% of women worldwide. This is also why a scientific study was carried out examining the effects of the Verisol product on cellulite.

This problem arises mainly as a result of subcutaneous fat, or possibly excess interstitial fluid. Verisol is a great solution in this case too, because, as one of the few products, it works directly on the extracellular matrix, thereby increasing the effectiveness of its effects.

Significantly improves the cellulite score³

A study was recently conducted involving just over 105 women. It was confirmed that oral intake of 2.5 g of Verisol can reduce the cellulite score. The overall effect was measured after 3 to 6 months, and it was shown that Verisol restores the normal structure of the skin and subcutaneous tissue.

The first results could already be seen on the body after 3 months, but after six months they were most visible. Everything also depends on body mass index and on the overall condition of the skin. Among other things, the study was conducted in comparison with women who were given only a placebo.

Supports nail growth and health⁴

Collagen is a well-known building block of nails. When it's lacking, this understandably leads to their brittleness. Among other things, many women suffer from nail splitting, peeling and roughness. Verisol is the ideal solution in this case. It significantly improves nail health, which has again been confirmed in one of the many studies.

The effects of Verisol on nails were demonstrated in a study involving several dozen participants. The first effects appeared after just two months. After six months, nail health improved by almost half, which is a great result! Over 75% of women perceived their nails as healthier, longer and stronger after six months.
