A deeper look at the active ingredients in Collagen Plus

Collagen Peptides Collagen is a primary building block of the body’s connective tissues, bones, and ligaments, helping to provide structure, elasticity, and strength.* Collagen peptides are rich in the amino acids that help nourish skin, hair, and nails.* Thorne’s Collagen Plus utilizes PeptPure, a grass-fed, hormone-free collagen that and contains type I and III collagen, the optimal types of collagen for promoting healthy skin.* PeptPure’s unique extraction technique eliminates the use harsh chemicals commonly used in other mainstream collagen products.

Benefits of collagen peptides:

• Enhances the health of skin, hair, and nail health – a difference can be seen in as soon as four weeks*
• Promotes the hydration, elasticity, and strength of the skin*
• Helps increase muscle mass and supports recovery after exercise*
• Helps maintain healthy bone density and joint tissue*

MitoHeal® As skin ages, it begins to show signs of thinning, pigmentation changes, and a reduction in elasticity. MitoHeal is a patented polyphenol blend of red and black currants that has been clinically studied for its ability to support beauty from within and reduce visible signs of skin aging.* The MitoHeal blend of plant extracts can be traced from farm to table (or bottle). The extraction process utilizes a proprietary water extraction process that avoids harsh chemicals.

Benefits of MitoHeal:

• Helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles*
• Benefits skin texture by helping to reduce skin coarseness*
• Helps maintain skin pigment levels as skin ages, helping reduce facial brown spots*
• Promotes healthy hair, skin, and nails*

HydroPeach™ One of the most common beauty concerns as skin ages is dry, rough skin that lacks hydration. HydroPeach, derived from Japanese peaches, supplies ceramides – lipid molecules that help maintain the water balance of the skin. Natural ceramides comprise more than half of the outer layers of the skin, but the skin rapidly loses its ceramide content as a person ages. HydroPeach has been clinically studied to increase the skin’s natural production of ceramides.*

Benefits of HydroPeach:

• Promotes smooth and vibrant skin*
• Supports skin resilience and tone*
• Enhances the hydration of dry, rough, scaly skin in as soon as 10 days*
• Promotes a protective outer layer of the skin to act as a barrier against UV rays, bacteria, and pollutants*
• Enhances the skin’s permeability, allowing more moisture to be absorbed*
• Studies indicate improved skin texture can be noticeable in three weeks*

Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) As we age, our production of NAD+, the cornerstone for maintaining optimal cellular repair, begins to decline, which can contribute to visible signs of aging. As a direct precursor to NAD+, NR efficiently stimulates NAD+ production, which in turn promotes various aspects of healthy aging, efficient mitochondrial metabolism, and cellular protection and repair.* To optimize the benefit from NR, it is important to support the process of methylation. Therefore, betaine (trimethylglycine) a premiere methyl donor, is added, because it supports healthy methylation throughout the body.* Betaine also improves metabolism in the mitochondria, which enhances cellular energy production.*

Benefits of NR:

• Promotes multiple aspects of healthy aging*
• Supports cellular repair processes*
• Protects against DNA damage and oxidative stress*
