Why collagen for skin, hair and nails?

Type 1 collagen

Our collagen for hair, skin and nails is made up of type 1 collagen. Type 1 collagen is the most important structural protein of the skin and accounts for about 80% of its dry weight — it forms the framework of the connective tissue and supports structure and elasticity. It gives the skin strength, firmness and youthfulness. Our bioactive peptides activate the cells that produce this collagen.

Elasticity and hydration

Collagen fibres give the skin its elasticity and allow it to stretch and return to its original shape. As we age, collagen production declines — visible as wrinkles, sagging skin and brittle nails.

Collagen molecules also bind moisture and keep the skin plump and smooth. The same principle applies to hair and nail structure — they too benefit from activated collagen production.

High bioavailability

Our collagen for skin, hair and nails is broken down by a special process into particularly small peptides — highly bioavailable as collagen hydrolysate and easily absorbed by the body.

The collagen is absorbed and distributed through the bloodstream, so that it finally reaches the target cells in the skin. There it stimulates the skin cells and brings about the desired improvements such as reduced wrinkles, improved elasticity, fuller hair and stronger nails.

The science behind Beauty Collagen for skin, hair and nails

Bioactive peptides vs. ordinary collagen

Not all collagen products are the same. Our peptides are produced by carefully controlled enzymatic hydrolysis — the starting materials pass through several stages: extraction, hydrolysis, purification, concentration and drying. The result is short, low-molecular-weight peptides, some of which are bioactive — meaning they send signals to cells instead of just acting as building material. That signal is exactly what our peptides are made for.

How the signal arises

Once absorbed, the peptides travel through the bloodstream to the fibroblasts — the cells that build the extracellular matrix of the skin. There they act in two ways: they supply amino acids as building blocks, and they stimulate the cells directly to build collagen, elastin and other matrix components. The result: the body’s own collagen metabolism is stimulated — from within.

Fibroblasts - the cells that matter

Fibroblasts are specialised cells in connective tissue. Their job: to produce and maintain extracellular matrix components such as collagen, elastin and proteoglycans. In the skin they determine how firm, elastic and youthful it looks. When fibroblasts receive the right signal, they actively build new tissue — that is the heart of our protocol.

Extracellular matrix (ECM)

The ECM is the network of proteins and molecules that surrounds and supports cells — made up of collagen, elastin, fibronectin and proteoglycans. In the skin it determines firmness, elasticity and moisture content. Bioactive peptides support the ECM by telling fibroblasts to renew it — the signal comes from outside, the effect happens inside.

Why collagen for skin, hair and nails from Kollagen Institut?

Clinically studied

Our peptides have been tested in peer-reviewed studies — not with a similar product, but with exactly the raw material we use.

In clinical studies, participants showed −20% fewer eye wrinkles after 8 weeks (Karger 2014, n=114), +31% more hair growth activity after 16 weeks (Nutrafoods 2020, n=44) and −42% fewer broken nails after 24 weeks (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology 2017, n=25).

Quality from Germany

Our skin, hair and nails collagen is manufactured exclusively in Germany and laboratory-tested for purity. The raw material comes from Europe. We deliberately leave out additives, colourings, preservatives, sweeteners and artificial flavourings. And we stand behind our product: with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Powder or capsules - one protocol

Our skin, hair and nails collagen is available as a powder and as capsules. Both formats contain 30 servings — one month of the protocol. The powder dissolves in water with a neutral taste and fits into any morning routine. The capsules are pre-dosed and made for when you are out. The body needs regular intake — the format is your choice.

Why the right peptides matter

More collagen is not the goal.
What the body does with it is.

When you take ordinary collagen, it is broken down during digestion — like any other protein. It never reaches the places where it is meant to work.

Our peptides are smaller and more specific: they are absorbed by the body, travel through the bloodstream to the fibroblasts and send a signal there — the prompt to rebuild collagen, elastin and keratin itself. Not supply. Activation.

The body already knows how to renew itself.
The question is whether it gets the right signal.

Scientifically documented.

Study: reduction in wrinkles and fine lines

Study: “Oral Intake of Specific Bioactive Collagen Peptides Reduces Skin Wrinkles and Increases Dermal Matrix Synthesis”

Authors: E. Proksch, M. Schunck, V. Zague, D. Segger, J. Degwert, S. Oesser

Published in: Skin Pharmacology and Physiology

Publication date: 2014

Participants: 114

Duration: 8 / 12 weeks

Results and conclusions: Oral intake of specific collagen peptides led to a pronounced, statistically significant reduction in eye wrinkle volume and had a positive effect on dermal matrix synthesis.

Study: improvement in skin elasticity

Study: “Oral supplementation of specific collagen peptides has beneficial effects on human skin physiology: a double-blind, placebo-controlled study”

Authors: E. Proksch, D. Segger, J. Degwert, M. Schunck, V. Zague, S. Oesser

Published in: Skin Pharmacology and Physiology

Publication date: 2013

Participants: 69

Duration: 8 weeks

Results and conclusions: The study showed a statistically significant improvement in skin elasticity in both collagen hydrolysate dosage groups compared with placebo. After a 4-week follow-up period, a statistically significantly higher level of skin elasticity was found in the older women. No side effects were observed at any point during the study.

Your questions. Our answers.

What is collagen?

Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the human body — responsible for the firmness of skin, hair, nails, tendons and bones. From the age of 25, the body’s own collagen production declines year on year — visible in skin, hair and nail structure.

Why supplement collagen?

As we age, the body’s own collagen production declines. From the age of 25, the amount of collagen in the skin falls by almost 2% a year. By the age of 60 most people have about 80% less collagen in their skin than at 25.

Why collagen for skin, hair and nails?

Bioactive peptides send signals to the fibroblasts — the cells that produce collagen, elastin and keratin. The result: firmer skin, fuller hair, more resilient nails. Not because collagen is supplied — but because the body is prompted to rebuild it itself.

Why collagen from Kollagen Institut?

Our peptides are the same ones used in peer-reviewed studies — not similar, but identical raw materials. Clinically studied, produced in Germany, with no additives or preservatives. And with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

How do I take the skin, hair and nails collagen?

As a powder: stir one scoop (5 g) daily into water, juice or a drink of your choice — neutral in taste, no preparation.
As capsules: 4 capsules daily with a glass of water. Both formats contain 30 servings — one month of the protocol.
