The study: A panel of 52 healthy volunteers with normal skin, aged between 20 and 60 years old, orally took type 1 collagen every day for four weeks. Over the course of the study, they answered a series of questions, which included state of the skin and state of the joints during and at the end of the study. 

The results: Consumers reported improvements in wrinkles and overall skin appearance (skin firmness, hydration, skin radiance and brightness) after two weeks. The study suggests that oral daily intake of type 1 collagen can counteract skin ageing and benefit skin health. 

Consumer reported improvements in wrinkles skin appearance after 2 weeks of daily oral intake. 

Consumers also reported a positive impact on their joints after four weeks, with a noticeable decrease in joint pain. 

Consumers reported a decrease in joint pain after 4 weeks of daily oral intake.

The study: Forty healthy volunteers aged between 54 and 63 were split into two groups of 20. One group took an oral dose of this type 1 collagen before breakfast for 12 weeks. The other group took a placebo. Researchers then performed analysis via a number of methods: 

-   A cutometer, which uses a suction method to depress the skin then record the time and quality of its ability to return to normal, was used to  measure skin elasticity. 

-   A corneometer, which measures the moisture levels in the outer dermal layers, was used to measure skin hydration. 

-   Skin images were analysed using dedicated computer software to perform 3D analysis of wrinkles. 

Subjects were also surveyed for their response to the question, "Would you say that the treatment you underwent has reduced the wrinkles on your face?". Investigators and subjects separately answered the question, "Would you say that the treatment you underwent is globally effective in reducing signs of ageing in the face." 

The results: 

At the end of the study, lines around the eye (crow’s feet) indicated a significant smoothing in the overlap of the skin and a significant reduction in skin wrinkling. No effect was observed in the placebo group.

The clinical score of wrinkles, assessed by the Investigator, decreased significantly between week 6 and week 12. The clinical score remained unchanged for the placebo group. 

Results show a significant (-9.37%) reduction in skin wrinkles after 12 weeks. 

Skin hydration also showed significant improvements in the type 1 collagen group, with hydration levels increased by 22.8% from day one of the study.

Skin elasticity showed major improvements at both week 6 and week 12, with a +27.2% increase in hydration by week 12. 

Results show a significant (+22.8%) improvement  in skin hydration after 6 & 12 weeks. 

Results show a significant (+27.2%) increase in skin elasticity at  12 weeks 

A survey among 954 customers using The Pretty Smart Food Co® Collagen measured changes in wrinkles, pore size, age spots, and skin texture over the course of the study. The changes in skin appearance came more quickly than expected, with results coming in weeks, not months, and getting better over time. Here’s a brief overview of the amazing results:

In just 3 weeks 44% of participants showed improved skin texture, and at 8 weeks, 83% showed improved skin texture.

In just 4 weeks 65% of participants showed a significant reduction in wrinkles and fine lines, decreased age spots, and improvements in the overall look of their facial skin - with a brighter appearance.

Collagen is one of the body’s essential building blocks. It is a protein that is naturally produced and replenished in our bodies, accounting for nearly 75% of all the protein in our bodies found primarily in dermal tissue.

Unfortunately, collagen production starts declining as we get older from around the age of 25-30. Our bodies continue to make less collagen every year, and this can contribute to the signs of aging such as wrinkles, sagging skin, joint pain, and a slower dermal metabolism. So it’s important that you supplement that loss in your body to counteract the physical effects of aging and encourage the natural production of collagen.

This is a one time, one-off order. We obviously hope you love the product and come back to us when you want to order some more. We certainly aren’t like other supplement companies who often put people on to a subscription without making it obvious to them. You will only receive what you intentionally ordered, and nothing extra. 

However, if you would prefer to be on a subscription (so you don’t need to remember to reorder each month) then just get in touch and we can help set that up for you.

We put ourselves in your shoes and asked: if we were buying supplements, what would we want to know? That brought us to three very important questions we wanted to answer: 

1. Is my product clean? 

2. Is my product what it says it is? 

3. If so, how do I really know those two things? 

This is our answer: Comprehensive testing by accredited laboratories that follow quality standards set forth by the most prestigious national and international organizations. 

We test every product batch for: 

1. Ingredient Potency 

2. Heavy Metal Content 

3. Microbial Contaminants 

4. Pathogens
