Amino Acids & Collagen Synthesis in Skin Health

Amino Acids & Collagen Synthesis in Skin Health

Collagen is the primary structural protein in skin, responsible for maintaining firmness, elasticity and hydration. It is composed largely of amino acids such as glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. Research shows that providing the body with these amino acid building blocks, alongside key cofactors such as vitamin C, may support collagen synthesis and skin structure. Clinical studies have also observed improvements in skin hydration and elasticity when collagen-related nutrients are consumed regularly.

SkinFuel™ includes a spectrum of amino acids together with vitamin C, zinc and hyaluronic acid to support the body’s natural collagen production pathways.
