Perhaps you’ve used collagen supplements or taken a form of gelatin to help improve the health of your hair, skin or nails. But do you know there are different collagen types and which types are better taken together or apart from each other?
Did you know that aside from water, collagen is the most plentiful substance in our bodies and is a building block for skin, tendons, and bones?
Collagen types contain different proteins which serve separate purposes within the body.
TYPES 1 & 3 make up 90% of our skins network and are the most important for anti ageing, protection, healing etc.
Collagen Type 2 protein makes up the fluids and function in the cartilage and joints. Type 2 collagen supplements should be taken separately from Types 1 & 3 to ensure adequate absorption. (Type 2 is not important for skins functionality and anti ageing)
✨THERE ARE 19 AMINO ACIDS (proteins) found in Collagen Types 1 & 3 – each essential to functions and maintenance within skin, muscles, and bones. These types are produced by fibroblasts (cells in connective tissues) and osteoblasts (cells that make bones).
✨Over 90 percent of collagen in the body is comprised of Type 1 & 3 Collagen. Proteins in these types include glycine, proline, alanine, and hydroxyproline.
✨For optimum skin health and continued collagen development our skin needs a constant source of type 1 & 3 collagen.
Before we launched The Tilapia Collagen Facial®️There were no facial treatments or products on the market that contained all 19 individual amino acids.
TILAPIA COSMETIC GRADE COLLAGEN CONTAINS 20 AMINO ACIDS! Meaning it is a source of type 1 & 3 collagen
NO OTHER FACIAL CONTAINS THIS LEVEL OF PROTEIN PER TREATMENT- the average is 8-15 amino acids.
Why supplement with collagen if it already naturally occurs in the body?
wrinkles! Skin slacking! Uneven tone! Volume loss!from reduced collagen over time, the ideal levels of collagen our bodies naturally produce begin to wane. Collagen fibers break down or no longer regenerate, and lead to a “deflation” effect on the surface of the skin.
The diminishing effects of reduced collagen Type 2 are less obvious and often go unnoticed or are considered “normal” for the aging process.
Research indicates that by the age of 40, the body’s ability to produce collagen decreases by 25%. By age 60, it has decreased by over 50%.*
Despite being made up of non-essential amino acids, the supply of ideal levels of naturally occurring collagen cannot meet the demand.
Though it is possible to obtain extra collagen through diet (consuming animal products such as gelatinous meats, the cartilage on bones such as chicken drumsticks, and skin from poultry 5), some may find it unappealing or difficult to eat enough to support their body’s requirements.
🌏THATS WHY WE INVENTED The Tilapia Collagen Facial®️ and Tilapia Collagen Essence®️🌏
Collagen Types 1 & 3 WILL
minimize fine lines and wrinkles*
improve elasticity*
correct weak or damaged skin cells*
improve circulation*
promote glycine production*
Supplementing with collagen will also, “increase skin hydration by 28%, decrease micro-furrows by 26%, and increase skin suppleness by 49%
🧪How The Tilapia Collagen Facial®️ was developed
In its native Brazil, Canada and America the Tilapia Fish scales are used in hospitals to treat skin burns, it is also used in the veterinary industry to treat animal injuries.
Due to the Tilapia fish scales being made up of 100% amino acids (20 of them) it’s is a solid transdermal source of type 1 & 3 collagen.
The skin is gamma ray sterilised and then applied directly into the wounds, it is left for 2 - 3 weeks whilst it’s works it’s magic on healing the skin.
The patient then goes back to the hospital to have the Tilapia scales removed, the skin healing is faster than that of a skin graft using the usual pig or human skin.
After researching this amazing treatment Aesthetics Therapist Hayley owner of the HIbrow Cosmetic Clinic & Training centre in Staffordshire embarked upon developing this brand for the cosmetics industry. As medical proven skin treatments often develop in the cosmetics market.
Firstly the testing stage, after speaking with two scientists at the bio-medicine and biotechnology institute the clinical trials began.
This process started with the Tilapia scales being imported from Brazil and being hydrolysed to a powder form.
The powder is then tested to make sure no traces of mercury or foreign matters are present, it’s levels of amino acid content is them diagnosed.
Once passed we then receive this pure collagen powder which is batched for use with the facial treatment and applied to a home use serum The Tilapia Collagen Essence®️
After the trials using this pure protein the skin results were phenomenal!
A full report of testing was also carried out using this powder and Essence by the Biotechnology and Biomedical institute, reporting a 100% success rate of trans-dermal absorption and new fibroblasts and collagen production.
The Tilapia Collagen Facial®️ is now an FDA approved and Trademarked brand.
Sustainable Sourcing
Did you know that our Tilapia collagen comes from a beautiful Brazilian farm that operates 100% on sustainable energy?
.
That's right – all of the power comes from either wind, solar or hydroelectric energy.
.
In addition, they plant 100-300 native trees a year in the nationally protected biological corridors around the farms so that the animal species in the area can use the trees for shelter, migration and sustenance.
.
They also have a zero waste policy and up-cycle bones, skins, scales, and our amazing tilapia essence! 🐟
.
Hormone free -
process plant is certified in BAP, ASC, FSS22000, - FDA approved cosmetic grade dermatology tested and approved ✔️- we are the worlds only source of this high grade pure essence for cosmetic use.
