A comprehensive blend of electrolytes without sugar for optimal hydration and cell vitality to ensure enhanced collagen production. Our mineral complex includes all necessary components to support collagen production and various metabolic functions.

LIPOSOMAL VITAMIN C

Essential for collagen synthesis, our patented liposomal vitamin C is a key component of our collagen formula and it offers distinct advantages over regular vitamin C.

MSM

A naturally occurring sulfur compound known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties and its role in supporting joint health and collagen production.
