What are the benefits?

Our 2-in-1 product combines our Collagen Plus+ formula with ashwagandha from KSM-66^®. But why did we opt for this specific blend, and how do stress levels correlate with collagen and ashwagandha?

The answer lies in the details, as per the latest data from the Gallup Institute, global stress levels have reached a concerning record high of 40%. Many individuals incorporate collagen into their daily routine to enhance their appearance. However, in dealing with everyday stress or emotional strain, there's a common hope that stress levels will normalize, especially during vacations.

Yet, it becomes notably challenging when our bodies are consistently exposed to stress, making stress reduction a daunting task. The reason lies in the prolonged psychological stress, primarily reflected in elevated cortisol levels, which can adversely affect both our health and appearance. The consequences can range from irregularities in your monthly cycle or the absence of periods to skin issues like acne and spots, and even more severe conditions such as depression.

Given these insights, we decided to blend our Collagen Plus+ formula with ashwagandha from KSM-66^®. KSM-66^® represents the pinnacle of quality and effectiveness, earning multiple international awards. Impressively, over 24 studies demonstrate the efficacy of this particular ashwagandha in various areas, including stress reduction, anti-aging, support for female sexual function, weight management, improved sleep quality, enhanced memory, overall well-being, cardiovascular support, and much more.

The Proven Collagen Peptides Plus+ formula:

Our goal in development was to create an exceptionally innovative and highly effective product that provides sustained support for your overall appearance, including the health of your skin, hair, nails, joints, and bones. We rely on scientifically proven ingredients to ensure that our product attains the highest standards of quality and effectiveness.

Beginning as early as the ages of 20 to 25, the collagen levels in our skin undergo a gradual decline, reducing by approximately 1.5 percent each year. Simultaneously, the natural production of hyaluronic acid diminishes with age. If this decline starts at 20 with an annual reduction of 1.5 percent, by the age of 35, our skin already possesses roughly 20 percent less collagen.

This decline leads to inadequate moisture within the collagen and elastic fibers of the skin, resulting in the formation of wrinkles.

We recognize that the market is saturated with various collagen products, all claiming beauty benefits and similar advantages. Nevertheless, we aim to demonstrate through our Women's Best Collagen Peptides Plus+ that quality and effectiveness are our top priorities. Thus, we have meticulously selected scientifically proven and complex ingredients based on established studies, combining them with our original hydrolyzed Women's Best Collagen Type 1 & 3.

Our carefully crafted formula comprises of 20g of hydrolyzed collagen peptides sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised cows. This is complemented by natural MSM from OptiMSM^®, a unique low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (200–600 kDa) from HAPLEX^®Plus, and the established vitamin C from PureWay-C^®.

Within the realm of hyaluronic acid, varying levels of quality exist. The kDa value serves as an indicator of the depth to which hyaluronic acid molecules can permeate the skin and their level of bioavailability. To achieve optimal results, we place our trust in the low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (200-600 kDa) sourced from the esteemed provider HAPLEX^®Plus. We use the same quantity (150mg per serving) as used in the conducted studies, and the remarkable efficacy has been proven.

We also rely on the world's leading provider for MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) – OptiMSM^® – and have chosen the same dosage (1000mg) that has proven effective in numerous well-established studies. Research has indicated that OptiMSM^® effectively combats the signs of skin aging, resulting in reduced facial wrinkles, while enhancing skin suppleness and hydration.

In the realm of collagen and its harmonious pairings for enhanced results, the significance of vitamin C should not be underestimated. It aids in collagen formation, a fact scientifically backed by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Nonetheless, distinctions in quality and a range of mechanisms pertaining to vitamin C, from conventional ascorbic acid to buffered vitamin C or the notably superior premium vitamin C sourced from PureWay-C^®, have validated its efficacy through rigorous studies.

We have chosen to incorporate 90mg (equivalent to 113% of the daily requirement) of PureWay-C^® within our Women's Best Collagen Peptides Plus+. Research has demonstrated that this variant of vitamin C is notably stomach-friendly. Moreover, it boasts an absorption rate 233% higher than standard vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), while eliminating the common side effects associated with conventional vitamin C powders.

With Women's Best Collagen Peptides Plus+ & Ashwadandha, you receive a high-quality product that effectively supports you through the synergies of its ingredients. This unique formulation is tailored to foster natural beauty and enhance the well-being of your skin, hair, nails, and bones.

How do I take it?

Add 1-2 scoops (approx. 11-22 g) to water (250ml / 8fl. oz.), fruit juice, coffee, or any other hot or cold beverages. Mix it in porridge, soups, sauces and smoothies or Women's Best supplements such as BCAA Amino, Fit Pro Whey and Creatine.

Negative impacts of stress

When it comes to everyday stresses or emotional challenges, we tend to hope that our stress levels will normalize during a vacation. However, when stress becomes persistent, it places us in a challenging situation, and relieving this stress can be difficult. Prolonged stress, primarily in the form of the hormone cortisol, can exert detrimental effects on both our health and appearance. These repercussions can manifest in various ways, from disruptions in the monthly cycle or missed periods to skin issues like acne and blemishes, and even more severe conditions such as depression.

Collagen & hyaluron production decreases from the age of 20.

Collagen is an important component of skin, bones, tendons and cartilage, synthesized by our body through amino acids. However, collagen production gradually diminishes between the ages of 20 and 25, resulting in an annual decline of 1.5 percent in collagen levels within the body. If the collagen content starts at 100 percent at the age of 20, it decreases to 80 percent by the age of 35.

The same applies to hyaluronic acid, an important component of our connective tissue that gives the skin volume, elasticity and resilience. The natural aging process initiates a continuous reduction in hyaluronic acid content from the age of 25.

Collagen & hyaluron production decreases from the age of 20.

Effective & visible. The proven effect of our Plus version.

Our potent formula is meticulously crafted with an optimal balance of ingredients (Collagen peptides of Type 1 & 3 + MSM + low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid from HAPLEX^®Plus + specialized Vitamin C from PureWay-C^®). Together, these components work in harmony, delivering visible results from within. The synergistic effect of these four invaluable ingredients in Women's Best Collagen Peptides Plus+ provides comprehensive support for both your health and beauty.

Collagen peptides, short chains of amino acids, act as foundational building blocks for collagen production within the body. Collagen, a crucial component of tissues such as skin, bones, cartilage, teeth, and blood vessels, benefits from a sustained and targeted supply of collagen peptides, as indicated by studies.

Sulfur, like collagen, is an essential component of the body and, according to scientific research, aids in maintaining the overall appearance and health of the skin, hair, nails, bones, and joints.

Hyaluronic acid, a natural component of the human body, experiences a decrease in production with age. The supplementation of collagen and hyaluronic acid becomes vital in promoting the health of skin, connective tissue, and joints, as validated by studies.

In addition, we have included Vitamin C, as its positive impact on collagen formation, the immune system, and oxidative stress has been affirmed by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation in bones, cartilage, skin, and teeth. It also plays a role in protecting cells from oxidative stress and supporting the immune system.

Collagen peptides = optimal absorption in the body.

Compared to regular collagen molecules, collagen peptides are significantly smaller, facilitating easier absorption through the intestine. This allows the body to utilize them effectively in supporting skin, hair, nails, and connective tissue.

Special hyaluronic acid from HAPLEX^®Plus. Scientifically confirmed.

In our formula, we use a special hyaluronic acid from HAPLEX^®Plus, which has an impressively low molecular weight ranging from 200-600 kDa. The kDa value indicates how deeply the hyaluronic acid molecules can penetrate the skin and how high their bioavailability is. Several studies administering 150 mg of HAPLEX^®Plus daily over an extended period consistently demonstrate the efficacy of this low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid in promoting skin and joint health. For this reason, we use the same amount in our Plus formula.

OptiMSM^® - 30 years of research. Improves more than just wrinkles and firmness.

OptiMSM^® is the result of three decades of dedicated research and development. The leading global supplier has devoted 30 years to enhancing the effectiveness and bioavailability of MSM, a natural sulfur-containing substance often overlooked despite its pivotal role in numerous metabolic processes within our body. Functioning as a vital component of connective tissue, MSM has demonstrated its ability to improve skin health.

In a 2020 study, participants were each administered 1g of OptiMSM^® daily. With this dosage, a significant improvement in skin firmness, moisture and elasticity as well as wrinkle depth was observed after just four weeks. The results were evaluated by experts, with the help of instruments and through self-assessment.

Based on these study results, we have decided to add the same dosage to our Women's Best Collagen Peptides Plus+. This gives you 1g of OptiMSM^® per serving, which has been proven to help prevent skin aging.

PureWay-C^® – the new vitamin C benchmark. Stomach-friendly + a higher absorption of 233%.

PureWay-C^® is characterized by its exceptional tolerability and superior bioavailability in comparison to alternative forms of vitamin C. Studies have shown that PureWay-C^® is absorbed significantly faster and more efficiently by the body than other forms of vitamin C.

The reason for this improved absorption is a special fatty acid complex incorporated during the manufacturing process. Fatty acids, being a naturally occurring substance, are readily recognized by our cells, allowing more vitamin C to be absorbed by the body.

More collagen. Reduced wrinkles.

As we age, our skin naturally undergoes a gradual reduction in collagen production, leading to dryness, loss of elasticity, and the formation of wrinkles. Additionally, external factors such as UV radiation, smoking, stress, and an unhealthy diet can accelerate collagen breakdown.

Women's Best Collagen Peptides Plus+ is a powerful solution to counteract the aging process of the skin. Its high doses of collagen promote the regeneration of skin cells and stimulate the production of the body's own collagen by reinforcing the intact collagen scaffold. As a result, your skin appears more vibrant and healthier.

True beauty comes from within.

Nowadays, our skin is exposed to more stress than ever before. Daily stressors can take a toll on our skin, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging. That's why it's essential to nourish your body from the inside out and provide it with the right tools to maintain a healthy and youthful complexion.

Our high-quality Collagen Peptides Plus+ provides your skin with the essential proteins to give it a radiant and youthful appearance. It therefore offers an effective way to support your beauty from within and withstand the stresses and strains of everyday life.

Quality you can trust.

We take quality seriously, and our Collagen Peptides Plus+ & Ashwagandha is manufactured to the strictest standards in Belgium. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets our high standards when it comes to quality and effectiveness.
