Advanced Nutrition Programme
Activate your skins’ collagen for younger looking skin
As we get older our skin loses its elasticity and production of collagen decreases. Recent advances in research propelled our Nutritional Experts to create this next generation formula of Skin Collagen Support.
Harnessing the synergy of five ingredients, this supplement helps to build and safeguard collagen helping to maintain levels for supple, younger-looking skin.
These plant-based capsules are packed with a clever cocktail of vitamin C, zinc, MSM, grapeseed extract from the Champagne region in France and melon concentrate which is rich in SOD (Superoxide dismutase) – these ingredients have over 150 studies attributed to the effectiveness of ingredients on skin.
An internal case study on panellists showcased that 85% of individuals experienced an increase in elasticity around the eye contour area¹ after completing three months of this skin supporting supplement.
Suitable for all skin types and ages who seek an additional dimension to their existing supplement or anti-ageing topical regime.
Particularly recommended for those exposed to pollution, stress, UV rays and restrictive diets.
Suitable for both vegans and vegetarians.

FAQs
Why does Skin Collagen Support not contain any collagen?
As skin researchers, our goal is to make ‘healthy’ collagen. There are a variety of nutrients which support the body to make skin collagen from the collagen we consume in the form of protein from our diet.
When you eat/drink collagen (from any protein source), it just breaks down into the basic building blocks that the body needs called amino acids (small proteins). These components need to be reassembled to supply the body structures including muscles, joints and skin. In order for the amino acids to be reassembled into collagen, the body uses co factors which are vitamins, in particular vitamins A and C. These vitamins help us to make ‘healthy’ collagen from amino acids. Typically, we do eat enough protein in our diets to provide amino acids but sometimes we may not have enough of the co-factors to help convert them.
Is Skin Collagen Support suitable for vegans?
Yes – Skin Collagen Support is suitable for those with a vegan lifestyle
Does Skin Collagen Support feature any sugars or artificial flavourings?
No Skin Collagen Support does not feature any of these ingredients.
I am preparing for wedding, could I use Skin Collagen Support with Skin Ultimate?
Yes – this is a great combination to work to help support skin, hair and nail health before your celebration.
Advanced Nutrition Programme Skin Vit C 60 capsules
Skin Vit C is the best skin vitamin C supplement for those looking for an even complexion.
Powered by three key ingredients: vitamin C, zinc and acerola berry in a daily dose vitamin capsule. All three ingredients are protected in a clean, plant-based capsule and suitable for vegan and vegetarian lifestyles.
In topical skincare, vitamin C is revered for its skin-supporting properties with formulas recommended to smooth skin. Emerging research showcases depleted levels in ageing and photodamaged skin. As well as skin benefits, vitamin C is celebrated for the immune system and offers over-arching wellbeing benefits.
Zinc supports our skin, hair and nails, and is also revered for its antioxidant protection. Acerola berry is an exciting addition to our ingredient library as it boasts rich nutrient values with recent research explaining that it features 50-100 times more vitamin C than oranges.

FAQs
Are Skin Omegas+ suitable for all skin types?
Yes – they are suitable for all skin types: normal, dry, sensitive, oily, problem-prone and sensitive skin.
Are Skin Omegas+ sourced from sustainable fish oil?
We source our omega-3 fish oils from a specific supplier: Epax® who are a pioneering, sustainable name in the industry. They were the first ingredient company to be awarded Friend of the Sea (FOS) certification for “documented, traceable and sustainable operations”.
As well as sharing our environmental ethos, Epax® is dedicated to superior standards in terms of purity of ingredients. All their oils are certified by the Global Organization for EPA and DHA (GOED) standards which means not only compliance but also exceeding the strict targets set by governments in terms of contaminants, heavy metal levels (for example Mercury) and fishing practices.
Skin Omegas+ uses sustainably sourced fish oil which has been caught off the coast of Peru adhering to Friends of the Seas standards. This prevents over-fishing and guarantees the fishing methods used are sustainable and in line with conservation efforts. Only certified boats can be used and must be declared, meaning we have full traceability.
Fishing nets used are all FOS approved and never reach the sea floor so cause no damage to the ocean beds. In addition, these standards ensure that accidental catches must not include animals listed in the red list of endangered species as “vulnerable” or “higher risk”.
Do I need to be worried about the amount of vitamin A in the Skin Omegas+?
The amount of vitamin A contained in 2 softgels (recommended daily amount) is 400 IU’s (international units) or 120 µg (micrograms). This level is well within the Nutrient Reference Value for the UK.
As these contain vitamin A are they suitable for long term use? Or is there a time frame on using them?
Just like we eat food every day to nourish our bodies, incorporating Skin Omegas+ into our daily routine can provide additional support. It’s fine to take it long-term since it’s a food supplement, and the amount of vitamin A in the recommended daily dose of 2 capsules is very low.
Are Skin Omegas+ safe to take during pregnancy?
Yes they are. It is always good to inform your midwife or medical advisor of any food supplements that you are taking during your pregnancy.
How long do I take a supplement before deciding if it works or not?
This is a complex question and can involve many factors that affect the outcome. To simplify, every person is unique and individual so results will vary from person to person. As a general rule we find that people start to notice a difference around 12 weeks (based on our in-house studies done in our Skin Research Centre). For some supplements it may be quicker, for example with our Skin Omegas+ and Skin Youth Biome™ individuals have noticed a result within 7 days.
What is the difference between your Omega 3 food supplement and the Skin Omegas+ food supplement?
Skin Omegas+ contain omega 3, omega 6, vitamin A and GLA from evening primrose oil. Omega 3 food supplements just contain Omega 3.
What happens if I forget to take them?
Just continue taking the recommended daily dose as normal. There is no need to compensate for missed capsules. It’s okay to take all of your capsules in the evening if you forget in the morning.
Are Skin Omegas+ Halal?
Yes, our Skin Omega supplements are prepared according to Halal principles.

We have also added zinc due to its multiple skin and wellness benefits – particularly helpful for problem skin. The strains in Skin Youth Biome™ are Lactobacillus Rhamnosus GG, Pediococcus Acidilactici HA-524, Bifidobacterium Longum Rosell-175, Lactobacillus Reuteri HA-188, Lactobacillus Acidophilus HA-122 and Lactobacillus Plantarum HA-119 – also chosen to support gut health and harness the gut-skin axis, plus vitamin C to support natural collagen formation for smooth, youthful-looking skin.
