NU SKIN Beauty Focus™ Collagen+

What makes Collagen+ unique?
Beauty Focus™ Collagen+ is a skin care super supplement that helps support multiple important areas of skin health. It helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, supports hydration and moisture levels, and boosts collagen and elastin formation in the skin. What truly adds the “plus” to Collagen+ is that our powerful formula does more than common collagen products due to its proprietary ingredient blend. Our Bioactive Collagen Peptides† have a special peptide “fingerprint” that allows them to more effectively bind to collagen receptors and enhance your beauty. Lutein adds important antioxidant protection, including protection against oxidative stressors. And then there are our Phytoceramides, which help skin stay healthy and moisturised. All these unique additions mean Beauty Focus™ Collagen+ outshines the competition for results that exceed expectations.

What is collagen?
Collagen is an important structural protein found throughout your skin, bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. As an adult, your body produces about 1.5% less collagen every year, and its production can also be inhibited by oxidative stressors such as sunlight. This means that adding extra collagen to your diet can be vital for your skin and body to function ideally. Collagen peptides are a better way to supplement this important collagen, because they are more digestible, better absorbed, and better distributed throughout your body. Plus, while regular collagen provides the building blocks for your skin, collagen peptides actually stimulate skin to create more collagen as well. This dual action is vital to supporting healthy skin, and our elite Bioactive Collagen Peptides are the best available.

How are the peptides in Collagen+ special?
Our collagen peptides feature a very specific peptide profile or peptide “fingerprint” that makes them more bioactive and consistently more effective than other peptides. The key to this is the overall peptide composition. A small difference in the percent of various peptides in a formula can dramatically change its effective bioactivity, but our elite collagen peptides are thoroughly tested to ensure the peptide fingerprint is consistent across every batch.

Why is wheat lipid extract included in Collagen+?
Wheat lipid extract is a source of Phytoceramides, which play an important role in supporting skin barrier function and hydration. Dry skin typically has lower levels of ceramides in the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of skin), so we included this vital ingredient to better promote healthy, beautiful, hydrated skin.

Why is Lutein included in Collagen+?
Lutein is a carotenoid derived from marigold flowers and has antioxidant properties that protect against the damaging effects of oxidative stress. Another benefit is that carotenoids like Lutein can be measured in the skin using a Pharmanex® BioPhotonic Scanner

Do I need to use Collagen+ with Nu Skin® topical skin care products to see results?
No. Beauty Focus™ Collagen+ is effective by itself. However, Collagen+ also helps improve skin health and prepare skin for better complementary benefits with Nu Skin topical skin care regimens. For example, when taken in conjunction with an ageLOC® LumiSpa® regimen, Beauty Focus™ Collagen+ is shown to enhance the visible skin radiance, texture, and overall appearance benefits of the LumiSpa system. You can certainly use Collagen+ alone, but for the best results possible, we recommend you use it in conjunction with a Nu Skin topical skin care regimen to better support your health and beauty inside and out.

Can I mix Collagen+ in a warm drink?
Yes! You can mix Beauty Focus™ Collagen+ with both cold and warm drinks without hurting its efficacy. In fact, you can mix Collagen+ with liquids up to 176° F (80° C) without impacting the efficacy of the Bioactive Collagen Peptides.

What is SCS certification?
SCS certification means that our scientists are confident that this product will raise your skin carotenoid score, or SCS, as measured by our Pharmanex® BioPhotonic Scanner. Carotenoids are a class of important antioxidants that can come from a variety of sources, including fruits, vegetables, and your supplements. If a product is SCS-certified, then you can expect that using it will increase your scanner score over time.

What do different levels of SCS certification mean?
If a product has a higher SCS-certification level, it means you can expect it to increase your scanner score more than a product with a lower certification level. This is based on the quantity and bioavailability of carotenoids in each product. In other words, you should expect to experience larger scanner score increases if you take a level-II SCS-certified product compared to a level-I SCScertified product.
