New Study reveals OptiMSM® & Collagen synergy for skin

We all know about the benefits OptiMSM® and Collagen offer for the skin. But what if we told you they work even better when combined?

A recent study¹ investigated the effects of collagen supplementation with or without MSM on skin health in women (aged 40-65). At week 12 only those receiving both MSM and collagen saw improvements in skin thickness, hydration and roughness.

Additionally, while supplemental collagen alone reduced skin roughness, the effect was significantly greater in the group that received both OptiMSM® and collagen together. The study concluded that combining MSM with collagen provides even greater benefits for skin health. Download here the New White Paper about OptiMSM® & Collagen and discover more.

Learn how MSM and Collagen together may help protect and maintain healthy skin. Through different mechanisms, collagen² and sulphur³ aid in the production of collagen and other critical architectural components of the skin. Both nutrients also support the body’s defences to help preserve healthy collagen in the skin, with collagen aiding in an immune-mediated remodelling of the skin² and sulphur aiding in the antioxidant defence by way of supporting glutathione structure and function³. 

Optimise your Collagen Skin Formulation with OptiMSM®, a premium sulphur-rich MSM, produced in the U.S. at a dedicated facility using a proprietary multi-stage distillation process. This method removes impurities by isolating MSM molecules at specific boiling points, ensuring low moisture content and reducing the risk of contamination and degradation.

We also offer high-quality, sustainably sourced fish collagen peptides, certified and traceable, with excellent solubility and taste. Backed by research, hydrolyzed fish collagen supports numerous  benefits, supporting healthy skin, nails and  hair.
