What is collagen?Â
Collagen is an important, glue-like protein that everyone has in their bodies. ‘Colla’ is the Greek word for ‘glue’ and also means ‘to bind together’. Our joints, bones, muscles, hair, nails, connective tissue and skin all contain collagen, which makes it vital for many of the organs in our bodies! The human body produces collagen itself, but this gradually starts to slow down after the age of 25. A number of changes then start to become noticeable, including rougher skin that is more prone to wrinkles and sagging. Collagen keeps our connective tissue – like skin, hair, tendons, joints, cartilage and bones – elastic and firm. Collagen fibres in the skin are essential for the structure of our hair and also the firmness of our skin and hair. These fibres gain more and more in importance the older we become.
Which types of collagen are there?Â
There are 28 types of collagen. Types 1 and 2 are the most significant. Collagen type 1 makes up 90% of the collagen in our bodies.
- Collagen type 1Â is found mainly in the skin, hair, nails, bones, cartilage, connective tissue, ligaments, tendons and blood vessels;
- Collagen type 2Â is found in joints, intervertebral discs, the ribs, nose, larynx and trachea;
- Collagen type 3Â is found in the skin, blood vessels and tissue for wound healing.

It depends on the source of the collagen and which types of collagen a collagen product contains. Bovine collagen contains collagen types 1 and 3. Fish collagen primarily contains collagen types 1 and 2 but also hydroxyproline – an amino acid that is crucial for skin, the walls of blood vessels and other connective tissue.
Fish collagen
Fish collagen is the purest form of collagen and has a structure similar to that of human skin. This is why Collagenial contains fish collagen plus a number of other substances, including Hydroxyproline, Argireline, Hyaluronic Acid, Shilajit, copper, zinc, magnesium and Carbon.
Collagen is used in various products: supplements, powders, drinks, creams and masks, etc.
Because the natural production of collagen starts to slow down after the age of 25, as part of the ‘natural’ ageing process, collagen production should be promoted not just from the outside but from the inside too. It’s a lot like a house: renovating the outside walls alone will not be enough to keep the house stable. It will be crucial to renovate the inside too. So, the advice is to opt for collagen in its purest form, plus fish collagen, Hydroxyproline, Argireline, Hyaluronic Acid and Shilajit, Copper, zinc, magnesium and carbon. The HVR Formula also has a significant effect on wrinkle formation and sagging skin and promotes hair growth.
MCTs
Fractionated coconut oil contains medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). They boost energy levels very quickly, which is why meals prepared with MCTs are gaining popularity with athletes more and more. MCTs also improve skin structure and can benefit all hair types. MCTs also provide dry skin with an extra level of protection.
Shilajit
Shilajit contains more than 85 minerals and trace elements in ionic and organic form, including magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iron and numerous vitamins, including vitamins A, E, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 and C.
Colloidal copper
Colloidal copper can help maintain hair pigmentation or restore hair to its original colour. Copper also maintains blood vessels, which is key for hair retention and regrowth.
Zinc and magnesium
Zinc and magnesium are indispensable for the production of collagen. Zinc is also an important factor for anyone wanting to reduce the number of grey hairs they have and promote hair growth.
Silicon for better looking skin
Silicon protects the elastin and collagen proteins in the skin, making it more elastic and reducing the number of wrinkles. A lack of silicon is clear from the formation of wrinkles and the presence of dry hair and brittle nails. Collagen is a glue-like protein that is a main constituent of connective tissue in the body. Collagen helps the skin repair and keep wrinkles at bay. Silicon is one of the most important nutrients for connective tissue. The elastin protein keeps skin elastic and ensures it returns to its original shape after someone laughs or frowns. Elastin and collagen are both critical for skin. Both play a vital role in skin elasticity, firmness and renewal, etc. Besides preventing wrinkles, silicon helps reduce cellulite. There is a common misconception that cellulite develops when someone is overweight. However, cellulite is actually the result of an accumulation of fat, fluid and toxins. This puts pressure on the connective tissue and causes bumps and dimples to appear on the skin. Silicon strengthens the connective tissue and reduces cellulite.
Alaria Esculenta
Alaria Esculenta (brown algae) is an active anti-ageing ingredient that can lower the progerin level in adult skin by no less than 79%. This is a positive because progerin causes skin to age.

Results possible with fish collagen?Â
In skin, collagen determines skin firmness. Collagen makes skin look stronger, fuller, tighter, more hydrated and glowing!
Using collagen
The daily use of Collagenial is highly recommended for anyone wanting to maintain and regain healthy hair growth and an improved and tighter skin structure. This collagen product can be sprayed onto the skin daily as well. Once dry, a day/night cream can be applied.
Ingredients on stickers
Because changes are still often being made to the formula – the addition of new substances, for example – it is not possible to modify the stickers at this stage, which is why the most recent changes are indicated on the site.
