Clinical study I: Skin elasticity

Designed to verify the effectiveness of VERISOL
®
collagen peptides on biophysical skin parameters
related to cutaneous aging.

Study Design
// Double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

// More than 60 women aged 35-55, normal skin

// Daily intake of 2,5g VERISOL vs. placebo
®
// Duration: 8 weeks, measurement after
4 and 8 weeks and 4 weeks washout Skin elasticity increased significantly after oral VERISOL
®
treatment in comparison to placebo administration.
Results
// An intake of 2,5g showed significantly higher 1,1
skin elasticity vs. placebo after 4 and 8 weeks

// A positive effect on skin elasticity was still detectable Skin elasticity (x-fold of control) 1
at the end of the four-week washout phase,
suggesting a long-lasting dermal physiological effect
