Collagen
About one quarter of all of the protein in your body is collagen. Collagen is a major structural protein, forming molecular cables that strengthen the tendons and vast, resilient sheets that support the skin and internal organs. Bones and teeth are made by adding mineral crystals to collagen. Collagen provides structure to our bodies, protecting and supporting the softer tissues and connecting them with the skeleton. But, in spite of its critical function in the body, collagen is a relatively simple protein.
The Collagen Triple Helix
Collagen is composed of three chains, wound together in a tight triple helix. The illustration included here shows only a small segment of the entire molecule-each chain is over 1400 amino acids long and only about 20 are shown here. A repeated sequence of three amino acids forms this sturdy structure. Every third amino acid is glycine, a small amino acid that fits perfectly inside the helix. Many of the remaining positions in the chain are filled by two unexpected amino acids: proline and a modified version of proline, hydroxyproline. We wouldn't expect proline to be this common, because it forms a kink in the polypeptide chain that is difficult to accommodate in typical globular proteins. But, as you can see on the next page, it seems to be just the right shape for this structural protein.
Alopecia areata
A highly unpredictable, autoimmune skin disease resulting in the loss of hair on the scalp and elsewhere on the body. This common but very challenging and capricious disease affects approximately 1.7 percent of the population overall, including more than 4.7 million people in the United States alone. Due to the fact that much of the public is still not familiar with alopecia areata, the disease can have a profound impact on one's life and functional status, both at work and at school.
In alopecia areata, the affected hair follicles are mistakenly attacked by a person's own immune system (white blood cells), resulting in the arrest of the hair growth stage. Alopecia areata usually starts with one or more small, round, smooth bald patches on the scalp and can progress to total scalp hair loss (alopecia totalis) or complete body hair loss (alopecia universalis).
Alopecia areata occurs in males and females of all ages and races; however, onset most often begins in childhood and can be psychologically devastating. Although not life-threatening, alopecia areata is most certainly life-altering, and its sudden onset, recurrent episodes, and unpredictable course have a profound psychological impact on the lives of those disrupted by this disease.
Arthritis
A disease characterized by joint inflammation. Joint injury can be caused by trauma or by the wear and tear of aging. The general term arthritis includes over 100 kinds of diseases, most of which last for life. In many forms of arthritis, injury is caused by the uncontrolled inflammation of autoimmune disease, in which the immune system attacks the body's own tissues. Common kinds of arthritis include osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Varicose veins
Varicose veins are veins on the leg which are large, twisted, and ropelike, and can cause pain, swelling, or itching. They are an extreme form of telangiectasia, or spider veins.
Varicose veins are more common in women than in men, and are linked with heredity. Other related factors are pregnancy, obesity, menopause, aging, and abdominal straining.
Multiple Sclerosis
A chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system in which gradual destruction of myelin occurs in patches throughout the brain or spinal cord or both, interfering with the nerve pathways and causing muscular weakness, loss of coordination, and speech and visual disturbances
Acne
A skin inflammation affecting approximately 80% of those between the ages of 12 and 24. Located in each hair follicle or tiny pit in the skin is a gland that lubricates the skin. If some oil gets trapped in the gland, bacteria multiply in the pit and the skin becomes inflamed.
Cellulite
A fatty deposit causing a dimpled or uneven appearance, as around the thighs and buttocks.
Dermatosis
A Disorder involving lesions or eruptions of the skin (in which there is usually no inflammation)
Psoriasis
A chronic disease of the skin marked by red patches covered with white scales.
Dandruff
A scaly scurf formed on and shed from the scalp, sometimes caused by seborrhea.
Periodontal Disease
Periodontal (gum) disease may result from gingivitis, an inflammation of the gums usually caused by the presence of bacteria in plaque. Plaque is the sticky film that accumulates on teeth both above and below the gum line. Without regular dental checkups, periodontal disease may result if gingivitis is left untreated. It also can cause inflammation and destruction of tissues surrounding and supporting teeth, gums (gingiva), bone and fibers which hold the gums to the teeth. A number of factors increase the probability of developing periodontal disease, including diabetes, smoking, poor oral hygiene, diet, and genetic makeup; and it is the primary cause of tooth loss in adults.
Stretch marks
Stretch marks closely resemble scars. In fact, stretch marks are the most common types of skin lesions. About 90% of pregnant women get stretch marks. They also affect 70% of adolescent females and about 40% of young males. In medical terminology, stretch marks are called striae. Mature stretch marks are devoid of color, and newer stretch marks are often red or purplish in color.
Stretch marks develop when the skin is excessively stretched, damaging the collagen fibers and proteins in the underlying skin layer called the dermis. Scientists believe that shattering of collagen leads to dilation of small blood vessels (called capillaries) that results in red or purple-colored early stretch marks. Inflammation and collagen remodeling may lead to the loss of pigment-producing, melanocyte cells or obscuring of melanin pigment. Over time, this lack of pigment results in the white or hypopigmented scars that most people associate with mature stretch marks. Stretch marks are a form of leukoderma. |

Question: How much “pure” collagen is there in your Formula 5-23?
Answer: It is a great question, but it doesn’t strike at the heart of the matter. An exact answer would be – 45%, but that answer does not relate the full picture. If we were to extract water and other ingredients, which give our formula the consistency of a gel, we would get an almost pure protein. However, that pure protein would not have the trans dermal properties, meaning that it would no longer be absorbed through the skin, and it would be extremely perishable. Thus, the answer to your question is – our products contain the maximum collagen content that can be 100% absorbed through the skin.
Question: What is the difference between bovine and fish collagen?
Answer: The bovine collagen may give you allergies. Fish collagen does not cause allergies. The fish used for our products are the finest available and they are caught in natural water reservoirs that are not polluted.
Since 1999, in the field of plastic surgery there has been a movement to get away from bovine collagen, due to a risk of the Mad Cow Disease. Though the risk is small, it is enough to scare customers away.
The most important thing is that Formula 5-23 is an extract from fish skins that go through a process of hyperfiltration through silk fibroins, that has produced such wonderful results.
The invention of fish collagen that is biologically active, meaning that it has retained the Triple Helix structure making it identical to the human collagen, is the single greatest breakthrough in the field of cosmetics and dermatology in this and the last century.
If we were to compare other cosmetics from some world leading brands, we would discover that their products contain a maximum of 9% of collagen, which they buy from us. They then mark up the prices of those products 4-6 times what you would pay for our collagen of a comparable size. Pure collagen formula is NOT MADE ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD EXCEPT BY US.
NO OTHER PRODUCT IN THE WORLD PRESERVES THE TRIPLE HELIX
STRUCTURE OF COLLAGEN, MAKING IT IDENTICAL TO THE ONE
IN THE HUMAN BODY.
Let us go over a little bit of background knowledge so that we can understand why this invention is so important and why it is considered a revolution in today’s cosmetology and dermatology. We need to be aware some very important facts:
Collagen and elastin are proteins that support the structure of cells in our bodies. They form an intricate web that strengthens and shapes each and every cell, they give cells their resilience, elasticity and firmness.
In our mid-twenties and early thirties, the production of collagen slows down, and our skin begins losing its properties that it once had. Just as muscles lose their strength, and bones lose their calcium, the onset of the signs of aging are brought about because of deficit of collagen, who’s biosynthesis slows down more and more as we age.
After 30, in most cases our skin begins to dry up and wither. This happens due to the weakening of fibers of collagen and elastin, which make up the connective tissue. Toxins and certain enzymes also destroy those protein fibers as the level of microelements and vitamins that stimulate natural production of collagen drops further.
Our transdermal gel, after penetrating the skin, creates a new mesh like structure that is used for new collagen. Studies conducted on cultures of human skin, under an electron microscope, have confirmed and increased production of collagen, strengthening and thickening of weak skin and an increase in skin moisture. |
