BioCell Collagen II and Hyaluronic Acid

Today many health conscious adults attempt to maintain a youthful appearance by exercising, taking growth hormone enhancers and using expensive cosmetics. Researchers agree the major visible signs of aging in the SKIN, JOINTS and EYES are a result of progressive COLLAGEN and HYALURONIC ACID (HA) degradation in our tissues. They propose that supplement may actually reverse signs of aging.

Normal Skin Structure and Function

Normal skin function requires the presence of normal physiological substances in and around the skin cells. Of the many substances required for the normal functioning of the skin, COLLAGEN is one of the MOST IMPORTANT. It provides structural support to skin, thereby maintaining the skin tone, suppleness and elasticity, giving the skin it’s amazing beauty. Without sufficient collagen, our body would literally unravel itself from the seams, losing its connective properties and its ability to hold together, causing sagging and wrinkles associated with old age.

Another vital component of the skin structure is HYALURONIC ACID.

 HA is a major component of the extra cellular matrix, that is, the space between living cells. HA is also present in skin tissue, both dermis and epidermis, where it allows the retaining of skin moisture and functions as a lubricant be skin between the collagen matrix of the skin. Younger looking skin is typically higher in HA. It has been observed that hyaluronic acid content present in human skin tissue declines as we age, most dramatically after the age of 50 when signs of aging are most prevalent. The degradation of hyaluronic acid and collagen leads to the loss of elasticity and smoothness of the skin, leading to the appearance of wrinkles

This natural ingredient contains high concentrations of hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate naturally embedded with collagen II protein. It is possible that HA rich Biocell Collagen, when taken orally, can reach the corium layers of the epidermis and provide cellular level nourishment to the skin, revealing a more vibrant and younger completion.

As a result of huge loss of collagen, our skin no longer elastic, therefore problems of "dry, rough, large pores, dull, stain, loose, wrinkled" seven main problem of skin aging start to appear. Collagen father of the world, Dr. Brent said: "All the symptoms of aging skin related to loss of collagen and can be said that the process of collagen loss is the process of skin aging.”

Studies showed that collagen content in the body since the age of 20 are no longer increasing and begins to drain. The loss rate after the age of 25 will speed up, gradually reduced after the age of 50 and at the age of 70, the collagen remain a minimum content. Moreover, after the age of 60 the thickness of the dermis will reduce. Women lost a lot of collagen due to reasons such as menstruation, childbirth, abortion etc., so aging faster in women than in men, As a result woman should consume a large amount of collagen.

External causes loss of collagen

UV :  80% of leading factors in skin aging are from UV sunlight, ultraviolet damage to the elastic fibres of collagen protein of dermis layer

AIR POLLUTION :  The air contains large amounts of contaminated muddy particles, attached to the skin surface of the skin and produce free radicals, which damage collagen, accelerated aging

DIET, LIFESTYLE FACTORS : Frequent binge eating, smoking, drinking, lack of sleep and other bad habits will impose a heavy burden on the skin for women after 30 years of age. This group no longer can generate its own collagen to improve their conditions, aging will accelerate.

COMPUTER AND MOBILE PHONE RADIATION :  Radiation causes a dry environment, the skin will be relatively dry, it will lead to the appearance of premature wrinkles

MOOD AND LIFE STRESS :  Heart disease, and life stress, will cause an increase in free radicals, damage to collagen, causing water reduction

AUTOMOBILE EXHAUST POLLUTION :  Exhaust contains a large number of free radical metals, directly impairs the immune system, destroying the body's collagen, affect human health, thus cause yellowish skin

Can Beauty be Found in a Bottle? New Study Shows it Can

CLINICAL TRIAL SHOWS BIOCELL COLLAGEN II REDUCES WRINKLES AND IMPROVES HYDRATION

June 23, 2011, Newport Beach CA — BioCell Technology LLC announces the completion of the first human skin study of BioCell Collagen II® in women who have undergone natural and UV-intensified aging processes. In broad brushstrokes, this study has demonstrated the safety and significant efficacy of BioCell Collagen II® in improving a variety of aging-associated facial effects measured both qualitatively and quantitatively.

BioCell Collagen II® is a naturally-occurring matrix containing hydrolyzed collagen and highly-bioavailable hyaluronic acid. It had been strongly implicated as a healthy-aging ingredient that promotes both joint and skin health, and specifically causing the “beauty from the inside” effects that have traditionally been achieved with external or invasive wrinkle-reducing treatments.   The outcome of previous studies demonstrated an excellent safety profile and efficacy in bioavailability, increased levels of hyaluronic acid, and inhibition of hyaluronidase, providing more turgid, hydrated, and supple skin.  BioCell Collagen II® has also been shown in human clinical trials to reduce joint discomfort and stiffness as much as 40% in eight weeks.

Encouraged by the consistently favorable outcome of the earlier studies, BioCell Technology recently completed a study investigating the effects of BioCell Collagen II® on diverse parameters relevant to aged appearance of the facial skin. These parameters included dryness, wrinkles, deep lines and collagen content. This study on skin aging has proven that BioCell Collagen II® is indeed an essential "nutricosmetic" ingredient that promotes healthy aging. Its multi-layered mechanisms of action have been shown to synergistically antagonize the skin aging process and promote younger-looking appearance with better hydration, higher collagen content, reduced wrinkle counts and shallower line depth. As a result, a majority of the study participants experienced a remarkable improvement in skin texture, together with hydration, reduced scaling, and improved blood microcirculation.

Dr. Joosang Park, principal investigator of the research team, says that the details of the study will be published in the near future. Dr. Park who conducted research at Harvard Medical School for many years applies the rigorous standards of pharmaceutical research and practices to nutritional ingredients. "The extraordinary fact about this study is that the subjects took BioCell Collagen II® orally for skin beauty;” said Dr. Park, “this was not a topical study.  It means that BioCell Collagen II® is not only a true nutraceutical, but that it can offer less wrinkles, increased collagen, and supple, hydrated skin by working from the inside-out.”  Dr. Park also stated, “This and earlier studies demonstrate that BioCell Collagen II can support the skin dermis collagen network containing collagen types I and III as well as collagen type II in the joint.  I’m encouraged about these findings and that it adds to the portfolio of research that makes BioCell Collagen II® a true nutricosmetic substantiated by multiple human studies.”  

Ms. Asma Ishaq, vice president of marketing and Dr. Park will present the top-line data and discuss the research at the upcoming Nutricosmetic Summit 2011 in Las Vegas.  The conference focuses on the emerging and rapidly growing nutricosmetic segment of the dietary supplement industry, which is a direct result of a growing acceptance of younger people investing in anti-aging measures and more so by 11,000 baby boomers turning 50 every day.  This trend will continue for the next 10 years, and by 2012, 50 percent of the entire US population will be over 50. 

Leading this category with science, BioCell Technology also earns praise from industry experts.  “It’s important to see new science emerging in this area, specifically with ingested products, and we applaud companies such as BioCell that are leading this charge”, notes Len Monheit, Executive Director of the New Hope Supply Network and hosts of the Nutricosmetic Summit. “Moreover, we are glad that the Summit is the place where this advance is to be presented, and the commitment that BioCell has made in working with our Supply Network to validate and build this category globally.”

FAQ - BioCell Collagen II

What is BioCell Collagen II®?

BioCell Collagen II® is a 100% natural dietary ingredient. Nutritionists are calling it part of a new generation of "super ingredients". Unlike most dietary ingredients, which provide one-dimensional support, BioCell Collagen II® is actually a concentrated matrix of naturally occurring elements. Together, these elements provide multi-dimensional nutritional support that may help the body to more effectively maintain connective tissue health in crucial areas such as joints, skin and the cardiovascular system.

What are the critical nutritional elements found in BioCell Collagen II®?

Independent laboratory analysis shows that BioCell Collagen II® naturally contains Type II Collagen Proteins (60-65%), Chondroitin Sulfate (20%), Hyaluronic Acid (10%), Glucosamine and other Proteoglycans. Each of these is found throughout the body and is required for healthy connective tissue (joints, skin, cardiovascular etc.). 1500 milligrams of BioCell Collagen II® will supply the body with 900 milligrams of collagen type II protein (amino acids), 300 milligrams of Chondroitin, and 150 milligrams of Hyaluronic Acid, along with other nutritional elements such as Glucosamine.

Is BioCell Collagen II® similar to Glucosamine?

Yes, in the sense that both are involved in helping the body maintain healthy joints, but as noted above, BioCell Collagen II® is actually a concentration of many elements, including Glucosamine. If we consume only single elements involved in the complex process of keeping our joints and other connective tissue healthy, we could only expect partial effectiveness. BioCell Collagen II, with its full-spectrum of essential elements, provides broader nutritional support. This may prove more beneficial to overall joint and connective tissue health.

Who should include BioCell Collagen II® as part of a health maintenance program?

Everyone can benefit from taking BioCell Collagen II®. Diet, age, stress, digestive system and physical activity (sports which impact the joints) all affect our ability to provide the body with the nutritional raw materials it requires to properly support joint and connective tissue health. BioCell Collagen II® should be an essential nutritional component for those wanting to remain healthy and active throughout their life.

Can I combine BioCell Collagen II® with other nutritional supplements such as MSM, Chondroitin and Glucosamine?

Yes. Remember, the strength of BioCell Collagen II® is not that it supplies a large amount of one particular nutrient. Its strength is in the fact that it supplies a concentrated matrix of nutrients that may provide more broad-based nutritional support. By combining it with higher doses of more specific elements such as the ones noted above, you may actually receive greater nutritional benefits.

Is BioCell Collagen II® safe?

Yes. As stated earlier, BioCell Collagen II® is a natural dietary ingredient. It—and the elements that make up its complex structure—have a long history of use and safety as dietary ingredients. An independent toxicity study also showed BioCell Collagen II® to be safe, even at extremely high dosages.

What is BioCell Collagen II?

BioCell Collagen II® is a multi-patented joint and skin health nutraceutical that contains a naturally occurring matrix of hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, and hydrolyzed collagen type II. BioCell Collagen II is a breakthrough ingredient that has been the subject of several clinical studies in which safety and efficacy have been demonstrated. Unlike ordinary dietary supplements that contain a blend of multiple ingredients, BioCell Collagen II is made from a single naturally occurring source and utilizes a patented Bio-Optimized™ process which ensures rapid absorption.

Hydrolyzed Collagen Type II:

Is the most abundant protein found in joint cartilage and the dermis of the skin. It provides the structural framework of your connective tissues to keep your skin firm and resilient and your joints active and fluid.

Chondroitin Sulfate:

A naturally occurring element of joint cartilage that gives cartilage its amazing shock absorbing properties.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA)

a molecule that helps provide hydration for your skin, lubrication for your joints and is the gel-like substance that holds your cells together. The HA found in BioCell Collagen II is highly bioavailable due to its patented processing method.
