The anti-aging industry raises many questions about the actual effectiveness of the products offered, despite significant sales worldwide.
Is ingested collagen really effective?
Hydrolyzed collagen peptides, Unlike complete collagen, they have a significant advantage: their small molecular size allows for better absorption by the body. However, once ingested, collagen is primarily broken down into amino acids, similar to those from other protein sources. Therefore, supplementing your diet with collagen produces effects comparable to consuming protein from meat or fish.
Anti-aging: marketing or science?
Numerous scientific studies challenge the marketing claims of the anti-aging industry. Indeed, the complex scientific terms used in advertising often mask products with basic hydrating and exfoliating effects.
The laboratories L'ALPAGE Suisse stand out for their rigorous approach and above all a very high concentration of active ingredients (10-45%, or 5-20x more than a standard cream) which provide significant benefits for the skin, combining alpine botanical extracts with scientifically validated collagen peptides.
Collagen: just for the skin?
Contrary to popular belief, collagen is not limited to skin benefits.This essential structural protein also supports:
- Hair and nail health
- The strength of bones and joints
- The elasticity of muscle tissue
From the age of 25, natural collagen production decreases by approximately 1% per year. This decline is accelerated by the effects of UV rays, pollution, and an unbalanced lifestyle. To effectively counter these effects, L'ALPAGE's Swiss formulations incorporate regenerating alpine active ingredients, recognized for their ability to stimulate natural collagen production.
Ultimately, while some marketing claims are sometimes exaggerated, rigorous studies demonstrate the effectiveness of collagen peptides, particularly when combined with high-quality alpine botanical actives.
