SYMPTOMS: DRYNESS, ACNE SCARRING AND HYPERPIGMENTATION.
Valerie, 38
After using Bend for a mere two weeks, I saw a huge difference. My skin seemed to retain moisture better, my hyperpigmentation evened out and I was radiant. Even my friends noticed! I highly recommend Bend to anyone looking for improved skin quality!
WHY CHOOSE MARINE COLLAGEN + CO-FACTORS?
Our Marine Collagen formula goes beyond traditional collagen supplements. It features essential co-factors that support the collagen synthesis process:
- Silicon sourced from whole-food bamboo
- Vitamin C sourced from organic acerola cherries and contains an entourage of co-factors
Together, these co-factors support a process called collagen cross-linking, which is crucial for strong, resilient skin. Furthermore, acerola cherry provides vitamin C plus an entourage of naturally occurring antioxidants that help protect for the skin while the mineral silicon has been shown to improve the health of hair and nails.
THE ROLE OF SILICON AND VITAMIN C IN HEALTHY AND STRONG SKIN, HAIR, AND NAILS
Often overlooked in the collagen conversation is the importance of two essential co-factors - silicon and vitamin C. These nutrients play a vital role in the synthesis and quality of collagen in the skin and keratin in the hair and nails. Our silicon and vitamin C are derived from nutrient-rich wholefood sources, bamboo shoots and acerola cherries.
In one study, vitamin C from acerola cherry juice resulted in higher blood vitamin C levels and significantly reduced urinary excretion of vitamin C as compared to a synthetic vitamin C which is typically used in dietary supplements and cosmetics.
LONGEVITY: TACKLING SKIN REJUVENATION AT ITS CORE
Longevity research is a rapidly evolving field that explores the biological, genetic, and environmental factors influencing aging and rejuvenation, with the goal of extending both lifespan and health span. Scientists in this domain investigate cellular mechanisms such as telomere attrition, mitochondrial function (cellular energy), and stem cell depletion.
Our ongoing research of Renew + Protect aims to uncover more of its leading benefits for aging and skin health.
OMEGAS + CAROTENOIDS: A PERFECT PAIR
Omega fatty acids, EPA, DHA and GLA, and the carotenoids zeaxanthin and lutein work in synergy to support overall health, including skin and eye health.
Together, these nutrients combat signs of premature aging, and enhance hydration and elasticity in the skin while also supporting UV protection and eye health. Their combined effects make them a perfect pairing for comprehensive wellness, beauty, and longevity.
ECO-FRIENDLY AND SUSTAINABLY SOURCED
MARINE COLLAGEN + CO-FACTORS is a conscious choice for the environment. Did you know that grass-fed bovine collagen can have a carbon footprint 10x greater than our fish-skin derived collagen? Our marine collagen peptides are sustainably sourced from Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified wild-caught fisheries. We also chooses organic when possible; the acerola cherry, acacia, stevia, and favours in this product are all certified organic. Plus, our MARINE COLLAGEN + CO-FACTORS is proudly carbon-neutral, through the purchase of carbon off-sets.
