Orally applied, VERISOL® systematically effects the collagen metabolism in the dermis rather than just reaching the outer layers of the skin like creams and other topical products do.

Mode of Action
The specific peptides of VERISOL® are recognized by the fibroblast cells in the dermal layer of the skin as collagen fragments like those resulting from catabolic activities. Therefore they are stimulated to increase their collagen metabolism to counter-balance the pretended collagen degradation in the dermis. The result is a considerably higher production of dermal collagen and overall extracellular matrix, replacing what is lost through aging and environmental influences.

Significant improvement of skin health
VERISOL® consists of special collagen peptides – important components for supporting healthy skin. Administered orally,

VERISOL® influences the skin’s collagen metabolism directly from the inside. It increases the skin moisture and delays the formation of wrinkles. Several scientific experiments investigated the potential of VERISOL®.

Higher skin elasticity
The first study with 69 women aged between 35 and 55 years revealed that VERISOL® leads to significantly higher skin elasticity – up to 15 % – compared to placebo treatment. This effect could be measured after just 4 weeks of treatment and persisted after 8 weeks of oral VERISOL® administration. Another 4 weeks after the last intake of the product, VERISOL® application still showed higher skin elasticity levels than in the placebo treated group.

Reduction of wrinkles
The second study with more than 100 women aged between 45 and 65 years shows that the oral administration of VERISOL® (2.5 g/day) significantly reduces wrinkles after 4 weeks and leads to a significantly higher skin procollagen concentration.

Improved skin surface structure and decrease of cellulite
About 85 % of the global female adult population is affected by cellulite (the orange peel appearance of skin). Cellulite is a beauty aspect, not a disease, but many women suffer from this beauty flaw. Cellulite is mainly caused by dermal matrix disturbances, in combination with excess of subcutaneous fat, bulging into the dermis as well as excess of intersistal fluid.

VERISOL® supplementation has beneficial effects on the dermal extracellular matrix of the skin and can help to decrease cellulite. Contrary to current cellulite supplements that mainly address the aspects of excessive fat or microcirculation/drainage, VERISOL® directly stimulates the extracellular matrix formation in skin.

Significant decrease of cellulite score
A double blind, randomized, placebo controlled study with 105 women aged between 25 and 50 years shows that the daily oral intake of 2.5 g VERISOL® significantly decreases the cellulite score. The effect was measured after 3 and 6 months supplementation. VERISOL® has a beneficial effect on skin extracellular matrix and restores the normal structure of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. VERISOL® supplementation also reduced the waviness of the skin, with first results visible after 3 months, but more pronounced after 6 months. With a daily dose of 2.5 g VERISOL® the appearance of cellulite women with a BMI < 25 was significantly reduced.

As part of the study, changes in the dermal density were investigated. The two ultrasound scans show side by side the skin of a participant in the placebo group compared to the skin of a participant from the VERISOL® group. The increase in elastin and collagen is clearly visible.

Promoting growth and health of fingernails
For many women, well-groomed fingernails are an inseparable part of an attractive appearance. But many women suffer from cracked or chipped nails as well as nail peeling and nail roughness. The Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP®) VERISOL® can help to improve growth and health of fingernails.

The different positive effects of VERISOL® are shown in a recent study. The study shows a decrease of cracked and/or chipped nails after 2 months of treatment, reaching a decrease of 42 % after 6 months. Compared to the control group, the nail growth speed is increasing. VERISOL® led to a statistically significant improvement in nail growth after 3 months of treatment. At the same time, there’s a notable improvement in nail peeling and a clearly decreased nail edge irregularity. 80 % of the patients were completely satisfied and satisfied with VERISOL® treatment. 75 % of the women perceive their nails as longer, 71 % said their nails grew faster and became longer.

Women trust collagen!
VERISOL® has enormous potential in the growing market of beauty and skin-improvement supplements, addressing skin issues from the inside-out. The use of collagen in cosmetics is already common for women – what’s new on the western market is its stimulatory effect after oral intake. In Japan, however, which leads the way in the field of beauty care, foodstuffs containing collagen are already well established. This trend is also expected to spread quickly in Europe and the USA.

VERISOL® addresses the main concerns of women with regard to aging skin: elasticity and firmness as well as wrinkles and cellulite. It is supported by the belief in the effectiveness of “Beauty from within” anti-aging measures. The majority of women are familiar with the term “collagen”. Since collagen is a substance that is produced by the body, it is perceived as being “natural”. VERISOL® represents a real alternative to all available anti-aging measures, possibly even including the more drastic measures, due to the relatively short period of time needed to achieve visible effects. Last but not least, it provides consumers with the opportunity to enhance their personal care and to do “something good” for themselves.

The perfect beauty care, without missing out on pleasure!
VERISOL® is complimentary in many products and with ease of incorporation, the application possibilities are endless; from liquids to solids, from coating tablets to dietary drinks, to indulgent foodstuffs such as chocolate.
