Why is the Bella Grace Collagen the Best Available?
Short And Long Answer:
Bella Grace chose VERISOL®B (bovine) bioactive collagen peptides because they are the most clinically studied in the field, with extensive research proving their safety and effectiveness.
Additionally, VERISOL®B (bovine) utilizes selective, small collagen peptides that offer superior gut absorption and effectiveness. These bioactive peptides actively stimulate collagen production exactly where and when it’s needed, unlike other collagen forms that only passively deliver amino acids without optimizing collagen generation.
In short, the VERISOL®B (bovine) bioactive collagen peptides in the Elixir are the most clinically supported form, offering proven bioavailability and directly activates cellular repair.
Longer Answer:
Much of the conversation around collagen focuses on sourcing (marine, bovine, or chicken) and the types of collagen (I, II, III), though there are actually at least 28 different forms in humans. However, these discussions often overlook the key question:
"What constitutes a premium form of collagen and is there evidence that it helps restore and maintain skin health?"
Let's address this critical question in 3 phases...
CLINICAL AND SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT
VERISOL®B (bovine) bioactive collagen peptides stand out because of the extensive clinical and biomedical research backing their safety and effectiveness. Unlike cheaper alternatives that rely on trends rather than rigorous research, VERISOL®B is supported by substantial scientific evidence.
At Bella Grace, we chose VERISOL®B collagen for its exceptional clinical and scientific credibility.
BIOAVAILABILITY
Furthermore, as a protein, collagen must be broken down through digestive processes into peptides and then amino acids before it can be absorbed by the gut. Once absorbed, it is delivered via the bloodstream to key targets, such as the skin.
Think of protein as a pearl necklace, where each pearl represents an amino acid. The gut has difficulty absorbing peptides (strings of two or more pearls) and prefers to absorb individual amino acids (single pearls). These amino acids are then converted back into proteins within the tissues.
Unlike most peptides, VERISOL®B (bovine) uses highly selective collagen peptides that can be directly absorbed from the gut without needing to be broken down into amino acids. These peptides are designed to pass between the cell lining, the intestine and enter the bloodstream, enhancing their bioavailability—something most peptides cannot achieve.
These peptides squeeze in between the cells of the intestine like a corkscrew entering a cork. In keeping with the cork and wine analogy, VERISOL®B (bovine)represents the best grapes from select vineyards, producing a premium wine—all backed by science.
Additionally, VERISOL®B (bovine) collagen is composed of highly specific bioactive collagen peptides—focusing only on the most effective parts of the collagen molecule. This targeted approach allows for a lower dosage. Bella Grace uses 2.5 grams, the same amount used in the clinical studies. Without this advanced technology, significantly larger amounts of collagen would be needed to achieve similar benefits.
ACTIVATING COLLAGEN FORMATION
Specialty cells in skin called fibroblasts, create collagen (and other matrix proteins) from amino acids in the blood stream. However, this process of making collagen is not a continual stream like a production line. The body turns it on and off as it needs it. In short it is an active decision to make collagen and this cellular decision making is what Bella Grace is focused on.
The supportive science behind the bioactive collagen peptides in VERISOL®B (bovine) clearly demonstrate that they signal the fibroblast cells in the skin that make collagen. This is an important step and distinguishing feature. Just delivering amino acids from collagen is not enough to maintain skin health, form and function.
There are active decisions being made by skin fibroblasts, and VERISOL®B (bovine) helps drive collagen production by activating the processes that reconstruct the pearl necklace from individual pearls.
Bella Grace understands that skin health is not arbitrary. Achieving the best results requires the best, scientifically proven ingredients, formulated to support the skin's natural processes that are involved. That's why Bella Grace didn't stop at simply using the premium form of collagen, VERISOL®B (bovine). We also delved into the science of skin health and how natural products can optimize it. The result is the Bella Grace Elixir.
