Oral BioCell Collagen II Fights Aging Signs

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.Orally ingesting BioCell Collagen II® (from BioCell Technology LLC) promoted younger-looking appearance with better hydration, higher collagen content, reduced wrinkle counts and shallower line depth, according to the company, which said it completed the first human skin study on the collagen/hyaluronic acid (HA) ingredient. This study paves the way for more cosmeceutical supplements with BioCell Collagen II to be marketed with research consumers increasingly demand.

The company said the majority of the study participants experienced a remarkable improvement in skin texture, together with hydration, reduced scaling and improved blood microcirculation. The study also demonstrated the safety of BioCell Collagen II.

The study investigated the effects of BioCell Collagen II on parameters relevant to aged appearance of the facial skin in who have undergone natural and UV-intensified aging processes. These parameters included dryness, wrinkles, deep lines and collagen content. Dr. Joosang Park, principal investigator of the research team, said the details of the study will be published in the near future.

"The extraordinary fact about this study is that the subjects took BioCell Collagen II® orally for skin beauty," Park said. This was not a topical study.  It means that BioCell Collagen II® is not only a true nutraceutical, but that it can offer less wrinkles, increased collagen, and supple, hydrated skin by working from the inside-out." 

The ingredient was recently featured in the first nutricosmetic product from Beauty Foods, Nightly Beauty, a beauty-enhancing hot chocolate drink mix supplement.

BioCell Collagen II® is a naturally-occurring matrix containing hydrolyzed collagen and a highly bioavailable HA. BioCell Collagen II® has also been shown in human clinical trials to reduce joint discomfort and stiffness as much as 40 percent in eight weeks.

 Asma Ishaq, vice president of marketing and Dr. Park will present the top-line data and discuss the research at the upcoming Nutricosmetic Summit 2011 in Las Vegas.
