What happens when we age?
Your body changes around your 25th
Our bodies natural collagen production declines with age and although we can get collagen from our diet, other factors like environmental pollution, nutrient deficiencies, smoking, alcohol consumption and even too much sunbathing can lead to an even greater rate of decline. Collagen depletion results in the inevitable visual, noticeable and degenerative effects of ageing such as wrinkle formation, dehydration and loss of firmness.
Did you know?
By the time you hit 50 you will have lost half your natural collagen.
From the age of around 25 years, skin cell (fibroblasts) activity starts to slow down, leading to a loss of collagen density and the first appearance of visible signs of ageing such as wrinkle formation, dehydration and loss of firmness. DermaPro™ can counteract the degenerative effects of ageing and promote a more youthful, radiant appearance by supplying a boost and a restructuring effect on the skin's collagen network from within.
DermaPro™ Collagen (as Peptan®) has a unique amino acid profile unlike any other brand. It contains 18 amino acids including 8 essential amino acids (essential amino acids cannot be produced by the body and can only be derived from diet). Amino acids are the building blocks of our skin and tissues and the primary component of proteins. Glycine, Proline and Hydroxyproline are key to any collagen’s anti-aging and flexibility boosting benefits and these represent around 50% of DermaPro's™ Collagen’s total amino acid content; the Glycine and Proline concentration in DermaPro's™ Collagen is naturally 10 to 20 times higher than in any other protein!
How does collagen loss affect our bodies?
Collagen provides firmness and structure to our skin. Collagen production declines with age and with this breakdown, our skin becomes dehydrated and thinner, and the degenerative signs of ageing start to appear.
Bones
As our collagen levels and mineral content decreases, our bones become weaker. Over time, this causes them to become more fragile and breakable.
Joints
Collagen promotes healthy cartilage which protects our joints from daily wear and tear. As our cartilage begins to wear our joints don't function as well as they once did which can result in discomfort, making it harder for us to stay active as we age.
Muscles
Collagen promotes healthy connective tissue and muscle strength. Collagen depletion with age is linked to decreased muscle strength and function, which affects our balance, gait, overall mobility and wellbeing.
DermaPro™ Collagen as Peptan® taken daily for 12 weeks in double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials showed:
SKIN COLLAGEN FRAGMENTATION
0%
DECREASEReverse skin ageing
DermaPro™ Collagen* significantly decreased the fragmentation of collagen in the deep layer of the dermis by as much as 31%.
DermaPro™ Collagen* helps improve the quality of skin collagen by reversing structural damage that occurs during skin ageing.
SKIN COLLAGEN DENSITY
0%
INCREASEIncrease skin collagen density
DermaPro™ Collagen* significantly increased the density of collagen in the dermis by 9% after a mere four weeks of daily intake.
DermaPro™ Collagen* promotes visible anti-ageing effects by maintaining the structure and integrity of the skin's matrix.
SKIN HYDRATION
0%
INCREASEImproved collagen synthesis
DermaPro™ Collagen* increased skin hydration by as much as 28% after eight weeks of daily intake.
DermaPro™ Collagen* helps counteract the appearance of dry skin typical in ageing by increasing the skin's moisture levels.
SKIN MOISTURE
0%
INCREASEImproved hyaluronic acid (GAG) synthesis
DermaPro™ Collagen* significantly increased the amount of acidic GAGs present in the epidermis in a dose-dependent manner, to a maximum increase of +745%. This increase is mainly represented by hyaluronic acid since it is the main acidic GAG of the skin.
DermaPro™ Collagen* helps improve the skin's moisture by increasing the amount of water-binding hyaluronic acid in the epidermis.

The Science: MSM - "Nature's Beauty Mineral"
DermaPro™ is formulated using OptiMSM® – the purest and safest form of MSM you can find, obtained via a special patented distillation process. OptiMSM® is also backed by numerous clinical studies for safety and efficacy. MSM (methylsulphonylmethane) is a naturally occurring organic sulphur-rich compound essential for optimal health. Sulphur is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body and is a major building block and key component of collagen that supports the skin’s structural framework. It is also a building block of keratin, the main structural constituent of hair and nails.
REJUVENATE
MSM provides a key component of collagen and keratin and maintains disulfide bonds that keep collagen strands strong. Nourishing the skin from within is vital to strengthen and protect skin while inhibiting factors that accelerate ageing.
RESTORE
MSM naturally eliminates free radical damage of the skin by supporting glutathione production. MSM reduces skin inflammation and pigmentation while offering skin barrier protection.
REPAIR
MSM naturally supports the structural integrity of your skin and is a building block for keratin and glycosaminoglycans.
MSM promotes youthful radiance
Ageing, poor lifestyle habits, environmental UV rays, and toxins are common stressors that can aggravate the skin and lead to skin ageing. MSM can inhibit the breakdown of dermal collagen and elastin structure leading to wrinkle formation and fragile skin.
MSM improves skin strength and elasticity
MSM stimulates the expression of specific genes, known as COL7A1 & FMOD. COL7A1 is responsible for the maintenance of healthy skin connectivity, while FMOD is responsible for the maintenance of healthy collagen and firmer skin.
MSM improves skin tone and hydration
MSM regulates the expression of both DSG3 & AQP3. DSG3 is responsible for the maintenance of the skin barrier to make cells more permeable and improve the absorption of nutrients. AQP3 is responsible for the regulation and distribution of water through the epidermis.

The Science: Vitamin C
An essential nutrient, powerful antioxidant and skin-soothing agent — vitamin C also promotes natural collagen synthesis. DermaPro™ is formulated with a natural form of vitamin C buffered with calcium, making it much more readily absorbed and less acidic (gentler on your digestive system) than regular vitamin C. (When ingested, calcium ascorbate is hydrolysed in the stomach to produce calcium and ascorbate ion. The HCI in the stomach converts this ascorbate ion to ascorbic acid. Thus there is no increase in the acid concentration in the stomach).
- boosts your skin’s natural collagen production to give you firmer, more plump skin, smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
- its potent antioxidant properties help fight free radicals and repair skin damage caused by UV radiation.
- helps lighten hyperpigmentation and brown spots. It also inhibits melanin production for evening skin tone and brightness.
- provides added sun protection by thickening the dermis layer of the skin to help guard it against harmful UV rays and sun exposure.
