COLLAGEN – THE BACKGROUND STORY
Collagen is a main building protein in the body, which gives it the important role in maintaining the optimal functionality and health. Collagen represents more than 30% of all proteins in our body which makes it the most abundant of them all.
Collagen is also the single most important component in all connective tissues, from the smallest cell to the biggest human organ, the skin.
Therefore the collagen level in the body has effects that are both visible – skin, hair and nails, and invisible – overall health-state, cell-repair cycles, bone density and fat-metabolism. It has positive influence regarding the cell rejuvenation of the tissues, maintaining bone density, as well as venous and arterial function.
In the human body, collagen is constantly being reproduced. After the age of 25, this process begins to gradually slow down with the increase in age. Reproduction of collagen declines with approximately 1.25% each year after turning 25. When we get closer to 40 years old, our body abruptly slows down the synthesis of collagen, and after 70 years of age, reproduction of collagen becomes drastically weaker.
This is why it is recommended to begin with an additional intake of collagen for anyone who has passed the age of 30. For those who engage in active sports or are subjected to strenuous exercise and injuries it is desirable to begin even at a younger age.
The most obvious one is on the skin: As the collagen matrix in the dermis degenerates it breaks up and increasingly loses its capacity to maintain hydration.
Consequently the skin feels thinner, loses its elasticity and forms wrinkles and dry patches. A lack of collagen will also show in the hair and the nails.
Helps regenerate muscles
Increases the elasticity of the skin and reduces wrinkles
Supports faster joint recovery
Strengthens the bone structure
Strengthen links and tendons
Less visible but maybe even more important are the effects on cartilage in the joints, on ligaments and tendons, on the duration of repair cycles and muscle regeneration.
In summary it is fair to say that a reduced collagen level will affect both the outward appearance and the overall physical wellbeing.
However, while these consequences are perfectly natural and will eventually catch up with all of us they can be slowed down and or even interrupted for a limited time!
The key is to provide your body with collagen from outside! Because not only is it possible to replenish the depleted depots, the intake of collagen from the outside will even stimulate the body’s very own natural collagen production!
QWELL COLLAGEN WATER – SCIENCE IN ACTION
The patent-pending production process of qwell collagen water utilizes only the finest water and the highest-grade collagen peptides. The collagen peptides consist carefully controlled natural bioactive peptides of unique purity that are taste- and odor-neutral.
The collagen peptides are manufactured in a gentle enzymatic process to ensure the precise degree of hydrolysis and optimal molecular weight that is essential for a rapid absorption and transportation in the body to where they are most effective.
But on top of replenishing the body’s own natural collagen depots drinking qwell collagen water also stimulates the body’s own natural collagen production. It is this dual action that makes qwell a very effective contributor for rebuilding your collagen matrix! Studies show that this is the most effective way to ensure a sufficient collagen level.
So by drinking qwell daily you can rebuild and sustain your collagen matrix for a youthful looking healthy skin. And at the same time qwell will help to protect the infrastructure of your musculoskeletal system which is essential for your mobility.

28% skin hydration enhancement with qwell collagen water
Studies show that from the age of 20 the skin loses 1% of its collagen every year. As the collagen matrix in the dermis degenerates it becomes brittle and increasingly loses its capacity to sustain hydration. Consequently the skin gets thinner, loses elasticity and starts to sag and wrinkle. However, the naturally reduced collagen level is not the only cause for aging skin! Environmental pollution, an unhealthy lifestyle, UV rays – there are many more factors that can damage collagen fibers, limit hyaluronic acid production and therefore lead to decreased skin moisture.
Removes the bags under the eyes
Reduces the depth and size of wrinkles
Slows skin aging
qwell collagen water is specifically designed to effectively compensate collagen deprivation and its effects.
A double-blind placebo-controlled trial with 33 middle aged women in Japan showed that the collagen peptides increased skin hydration by 28% after eight weeks. 91% of this research group reported a higher skin hydration level during the same period.
So qwell collagen water will support the structural integrity of the skin’s collagen matrix which is key to a youthful, healthy appearance.
ALWAYS GOING STRONG. WITH QWELL COLLAGEN WATER.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and the key component in all connective tissues – it is a major building block for the skin, the bones, muscles, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. It basically provides the infrastructure of the entire musculoskeletal system and is therefore essential for your mobility.
That is why consuming qwell collagen water regularly will help you to achieve significant health benefits like enhanced bone density, reduced joint pain after exercising, quicker muscle regeneration and consequently an overall improved fitness level.
Everyone knows about the importance of always staying hydrated. With qwell from now on staying hydrated comes with an extra benefit!

REINFORCED SKIN AFTER JUST ONE MONTH
A clinical trial carried out in France by COSderma and involving 106 women showed that after a 4-week collagen peptides consumption, collagen breakage in deep skin layers significantly decreased. After 12 weeks of collagen peptides usage, lower levels of collagen fragmentation were observed compared to the start of the study. Recovered skin is the result of the action of the consumption, it increases collagen levels, which contributes to improving the condition of the skin and restoring its youthful and pleasant look.

New study reveals the benefit of collagen peptides for sports recovery.
A recent study, performed by the Newcastle University, UK, has brought to light the benefits of collagen peptides for sports recovery. It underscores the value of collagen supplements for healthand fitness, suggesting that collagen contributes to more rapid post-exercise recovery and performance improvement.
The study was designed as a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlledtrial, involving 24 active young men. The results were very clear: Supplementation with the collagen peptides clearly lowered the perceived muscle soreness at all time points after the intense muscle-damaging exercise. Even more strikingly, the collagen peptides supplemented participants demonstrated an improved performance with the effect reaching statistical significance at 48h post exercise. This positive outcome indicatesthat the collagen peptides helps to accelerate the process of recovery frommuscle damage induced by intense exercise. Since collagen is a key component of the extracellular matrix sheath that enwraps the muscle fibers, it is conceivable that collagen peptide supplementation might either prevent damage to the sheath or allow it to repair more quickly.
