London: A new range of collagen based supplements, proven in tests to thicken the skin, has been launched in the UK.

The new range, ‘Skin Deep’ includes ‘Skin Deep 100% Pure Collagen Capsules’ which were originally developed to alleviate joint and arthritic conditions, but patients also reported remarkable improvements in their skin at the same time. It appeared healthier and firmer, while fine lines diminished. Other benefits also included healthier looking hair and stronger nails. The results were visible in as little as three weeks.

The principal ingredient of is Collagen — a word derived from the Greek meaning to produce glue — its function within our body is similar, holding and supporting tissues. As we age collagen production diminishes.

The Skin Deep range differs from other collagen products available as it uses a superior patented brand of hydrolysed collagen produced to make it purer than other collagen supplements. It has a lower molecular weight which enables the collagen to be absorbed more quickly into the system. Skin Deep Collagen is 95% absorbed in the body within the first 12 hours of being taken. Once in the body it seems to perform the same function as our own collagen and the body’s natural collagen base is restored to that of a younger person. Skin Deep Collagen has received FDA approval and has been confirmed as GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe).

Skin Deep Collagen capsules are available in pots containing 90 capsules (1 month supply – 3 to be taken per night) and contains 100% pure collagen. These are ideal for anyone looking to maintain a healthy skin and reduce the signs of ageing.
