Did you know that there are three distinct layers in the skin? The epidermis is a visible and outer protective layer, the dermis is the structural layer called the dermis and the hypodermis is the skins deepest layer. This latter is what effects skin ageing most. When they say that beauty comes from within, it is true not only on a spiritual level but also on bodily internal factors, such as genetics and the amount of smoking, alcohol, poor diet that are introduced in our body. Not to forget that the skin is the body’s largest organ and acts as a protective barrier from the external environment.

This is why Gold Collagen has come up with a unique formula to nourish the skin from the inside. The products from Minerva Research Labs help to supplement your diet and are designed to rejuvenate you by providing structural support for connective tissues like joints, ligaments and muscles and naturally the skin.

The company was founded by Tony Sanguinetti, after a trip to Japan, where he noticed the benefits of the Nipponic holistic skincare approach. In the Land of the Rising Sun it is a custom for women to take collagen drinks to supplement their diet as an essential part of their daily beauty regimes. Hence why not bring this Far East secret of beauty to the Western world?

The result was a liquid beauty supplement that contains collagen, anti-oxidants and other active ingredients to nourish and care for the skin: GOLD COLLAGEN®, a new generation skincare solution that works from within to promote beautiful and younger looking skin.

How does it work? When the beauty supplement is consumed, it travels to the stomach where protein digestion first takes place. The collagen you ingest is in the form of specific peptides ready for absorption in the small intestine that travel via the bloodstream to reach the deeper layer of the skin (dermis). In the dermis, our collagen peptides stimulate special cells called fibroblasts. Stimulated fibroblast cells proliferate in numbers and produce elements key for the good support of the skin: new collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.

The result? Wrinkles will appear reduced and your skin regains its radiance. With Gold Collagen you are just a sip away to the elixir of eternal youth.
