Younger Secrets Amino Collagen Complex
What are the active ingredients in Younger Secrets Amino Collagen Complex?
5000mg Marine Collagen
495mg L-Arginine
495gm L-Lysine
400gm Vitamin C
200gm MSM
100gm Hyaluronic Acid
12mg Co Enzyme Q10
What type of Collagen is used?
Younger Secrets Amino Collagen Complex uses a high quality, low molecular weight marine collagen derived from the skin of fish.
There are over 16 types of Collagen. However 80-90% of the body consists of Collagen Type I, II and III – With type I being the most common and closest matched the human skin.
The Collagen in Younger Secrets Amino Collagen Complex goes through a controlled hydrolysis process making the collagen soluble, reducing the molecular weight
Younger Secrets Amino Collagen Complex contains Type I Hydrolyzed Collagen. The molecular weight of this Collagen is 2000 Daltons making it highly digestible and able to be absorbed within the small intestine. Most Hydrolyzed Collagens on the market are between 2000 – 7000 Daltons (the lower the Daltons the better the absorption / quality)
Hydrolyzed Collagen is highly digestible and absorbed within the small intestine. (According to Asghar and Henrickson, more than 90% of hydrolytes are quickly digested and absorbed after oral ingestion (Chemical, Biochemical, Functional and Nutritional Characteristics of Collagen in Food Systems, Adv Food Res. 28, 231-372 [1982])
Why are each added?
Marine Collagen - A regular intake of Hydrolyzed Collagen is shown to:
Improve skin moisture level
Improve skin smoothness by reducing the number of micro-relief furrows
Prevent the formation of deep-wrinkles
Improve skin suppleness
Some clinical studies have shown that taking 5gm – 10gm per day of Hydrolyzed Collagen may have a positive effect on human tissues containing collagen such as the skin. The moisture content of forearms and backs of necks increased significantly. Skin’s relief was also improved.

(Morganti, P. 1988 Oral treatment of skin dryness. Cosmetics and Toiletries, 103:77-80)
(Sudmida, E. 2004 The effect of oral ingestion of collagen peptide on skin hydration and boichemical data of blood. Journal of nutritional food 7(3): 45-52)
Collagen is known to helps to moisturize and prevent skin aging (Matsuda demonstrated in 2006 that collagen peptides increase the fibroblast density and the diameter and density of collagen fibrils on the dermis)
L-Arginine and Lysine – These are the building blocks for all protein in the body. Benefits include tissue healing, helps decrease blood pressure, assists in the body’s production of hormones, enzymes and antibodies
Vitamin C – Well know anti oxidant. Essential nutrient for the human body fighting the body’s oxidative stress. Assists with Collagen Synthesis
MSM - Some benefits, particularly for treatment of osteoarthritis, skin enhancing properties
Hyaluronic Acid – Hyaluronic Acid is a major component of skin, where it is involved in tissue repair. It has been found that HA content increases the presence of retinoic acid (vitamin A), hence increasing the tissue hydration levels. The free radical scavenging properties of Hyaluronic Acid are also known to assist in protection against solar radiation.
Co Enzyme Q10 – Amongst many other benefits (ie. assisting with lowering blood pressure) Co Enzyme Q10 is well known as an active anti oxidant with free radical properties.
What is the full ingredient list?
Full ingredient list: Fish Collagen Peptide, L-Arginine, L-Lysine, Vitamin C, MSM, Malto Dextrose, Hyaluronic Acid, Co Enzyme Q10, Natural Flavours, Natural Fruit Sweetener (no calorie natural, non-diabetogenic, non-carcinogenic)
Other than Skin, Hair and Nails are there any other benefits?
It has been scientifically proven that 10g a day of Hydrolyzed Collagen will have a positive effect on the health of joints, bones and skin
Bone Health
Osteoporosis – a disease characterized by low bone density
The intake on hydrolyzed collagen leads to significant bone mass, thus decreasing bone fractures (demonstrated by Adams in 1996, who measured an increase in bone mass density during a period of 4-24 weeks when hydrolyzed collagen was taken, and Mizuno and Kuboki (2001) who showed in vitro that bone cells are stimulated by hydrolyzed collagen)
Joint Health
Osteoarthritis – a disease characterized by the deterioration of the joint cartilage.
Hydrolyzed collagen has been proven to have a positive effect on joint comfort
(Oesser confirmed in 2003 (Cell Tissue Res. 311, 393-399) that the ingestion of hydrolyzed Collagen possibly stimulates the endogenous production of collagen)
(Moskowitz, R 2000. Role of collagen hydrolysate in bone and joint disease 30(2):89.99)
The marine collagen used in Younger Secrets Amino Collagen Complex has benefits
Proteins appear to be strong appetite inhibitors in human trials
Hydrolyzed collagen are forms of protein that are 30-50% more satiating than other proteins such as soy, casein or whey
A high protein diet is known to minimize total food consumption
A daily intake if Hydrolyzed Collagen can contribute to a balanced diet and help to maintain body weight
Hydrolyzed Collagen is the ideal supplement for elderly people, helping to maintain the Nitrogen balance and to avoid lean body mass loss (Hays, N.P.., Kim, H, H.,AM 2009 Effects of whey and fortified collagen hydrolysate protein supplements on nitrogen balance and body composition in older woman, Journal of the American deictic association 109: 1082-1087)

What is the difference between Younger Secrets Collagen & Keratin Capsules and Younger Secrets Amino Collagen Complex
Each Younger Secrets Collagen & Keratin Capsule contains 475mg collagen derived from bovine and 25mg of Keratin derived from sheep’s wool.
Each scoop of Younger Secrets Amino Collagen Complex contains 5000mg of marine collagen (that’s more than 10 capsules), plus 2000mg of extra co factors: L-Arginine, L-Lysine, Vitamin C, MSM, Hyaluronic Acid and Co Enzyme Q10.
Why so much Marine Collagen in one scoop?
There are many clinical studies completed which indicate benefits to skin, hair and nails when taking 5gm-10gm of Collagen. Taking 5-10gm in powder form will give fast and efficient result.
Taking 5-10gm has also shown benefits in joint and bone support as well as support in weight management.
