Superior Absorption: Naticol® Hydrolyzed Fish Collagen
Collagen
peptides vary greatly in size and absorption. Standard bovine collagen averages ≈ 5 000–10 000 Daltons, while Naticol® marine collagen is enzymatically hydrolyzed to ≈ 2 000 Daltons—small enough to pass through the
intestinal barrier and enter the bloodstream rapidly.
Clinical
studies (Rousselot 2020; Elamrani et al., 2019) show that Naticol®
supplementation improves skin elasticity (+19%), firmness
(+23%), and joint comfort within eight weeks, confirming its high
bioavailability and systemic activity.
Once
absorbed, these peptides stimulate fibroblasts to produce new Type I and III
collagen, the same structures responsible for youthful, plump skin.
2. Deep Hydration & Barrier Repair: CERAMOSIDES™ and ExceptionHYAL® Star
- CERAMOSIDES™ (patented wheat-derived
ceramides) restore the lipid barrier that prevents water loss.
In a
placebo-controlled study (J. Clin. Dermatol. Res. 2018), oral CERAMOSIDES™ increased skin hydration by +21% and improved elasticity by +26% within 15 days. The
effect continued to rise with sustained use.
- ExceptionHYAL® Star, a next-generation
hyaluronic acid, contains optimized molecular weights that reach both
epidermal and dermal layers.
Clinical
trials (Roquette 2021) reported a 17% increase in skin hydration and smoother skin texture in four weeks.
Together,
these two ingredients act as the internal moisturizer—a barrier-repair duo that
replenishes and retains hydration at every level of the skin.

Collagen’s Synergy with Vitamin C and CoQ10
- Collagen
synthesis is impossible without Vitamin C, which activates the enzymes prolyl and lysyl hydroxylase—responsible for stabilizing
collagen’s triple-helix structure. Without sufficient Vitamin C, new collagen
cannot form properly.
- Adding CoQ10 amplifies this process by energizing mitochondria—the powerhouses of cells—ensuring fibroblasts have the ATP
necessary to produce strong, resilient collagen fibers.
This
synergy not only supports skin structure but also enhances wound healing,
reduces oxidative stress, and boosts overall tissue repair.

Structural Support & Detoxification: MSM, Bamboo Silica, Zinc, and Selenium
- MSM
(Methylsulfonylmethane) supplies biologically active
sulfur, an essential element for cross-linking collagen and keratin. It’s clinically shown to improve joint flexibility and reduce visible wrinkles (PubMed ID 25842469).
- Bamboo
Extract, rich in
natural silica, strengthens connective tissue and hair shafts while promoting
elasticity.
- Zinc supports DNA replication and tissue regeneration,
while Selenium provides potent antioxidant defense, helping
neutralize free radicals that damage collagen and elastin.
5.
Cellular Beauty: B-Vitamins and Antioxidant Network
- Vitamin
B3 (Niacinamide) enhances the skin barrier and
reduces hyperpigmentation by increasing ceramide synthesis.
- Vitamin
B7 (Biotin) supports keratin infrastructure,
improving nail thickness and hair shine.
- CoQ10, working alongside these
vitamins, forms a defensive trio that protects against environmental and
metabolic stressors—resulting in visibly younger, brighter, and more resilient
skin.

Gut-Skin Axis & Bioavailability
A
healthy gut microbiome enhances nutrient absorption and skin balance. Acacia Fiber, a natural prebiotic, feeds
beneficial bacteria that improve digestion and immune function. Xylitol contributes to oral and gut health, lowering harmful
bacteria and improving glycemic response.
Together,
they ensure that U GLOW’s active compounds reach their target tissues
efficiently.
