Marine Collagen & Morosil® - Slimming & Beauty

AN EXPERT POWDER FORMULA TO HELP WITH WEIGHT CONTROL AND LOSS AND SKIN BEAUTY

1. MARINE COLLAGEN

A PURE AND NATURAL FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENT

Collagen was naturally consumed by our ancestors, who ate more of the parts of animals that contained the most collagen, such as skin, cartilage, and bones. Collagen is compatible with a paleo friendly diet.

Always used in Japan where it is recognized as being particularly biocompatible or bioactive, while also having good bioavailability

• It consists of bioactive hydrolyzed (enzymatically hydrolyzed) peptide proteins from natural marine collagen sourced through sustainable development practices (ASC Aquaculture Stewardship Council, BAP Best Aquaculture Practice, and MSC sustainable fishing labels).
• Molecular weight less than 4 kilodaltons (kDa). This is a low molecular weight, optimized for maximum assimilation and better biological efficiency (bioactive peptides). In comparison, collagen before hydrolysis has a molecular weight of 300 kDa.
• Particularly rich in amino acids - glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline - which make up the majority of collagen in connective tissues (cartilage, bones, muscles, gums, skin...), and also the scalp.
• Also rich in glutamine which is a major component of proteins.
• Non-GMO - Fat-free - No carbohydrates or sugar - No preservatives
• No ionization treatment - No radioactivity
• Strict manufacturing standards - Quality compliant with ISO 9001 - ISO 22000
• Halal Certified
• 100% fish origin: no risk of BSE for bovine collagen or avian flu for chicken collagen
• The peptide form is derived from natural collagen that has been broken down into smaller pieces (enzymatic hydrolysis) and is therefore easier to digest
• Neutral taste and no aftertaste
• AVOID MIXING WITH PRODUCTS THAT ARE TOO HOT - AVOID COOKING
• Protein intake may be insufficient and/or requirements may be increased in the following cases: advanced age (from 35-40 years old), sports practice, etc.

Good to know:

• Collagen is a component naturally present in the body (muscles, bones, tendons, cartilage, skin...) where it plays a major role in providing support and/or elasticity. The amino acids in collagen are also precursors to proteins such as keratin, the main component of hair and nails.
• From the age of 25, collagen production in humans decreases by 1.5% per year.
• By the age of 45, the body produces about 1/3 less collagen.
• Today's diet - sometimes unbalanced, overly industrialized, preference for lean meats without bones or cartilage - tends towards a lower consumption of external collagen.

Studies and scientific evidence:

• A supplement of 5 g/day of bioactive fish collagen peptides was administered for 12 to 14 weeks.
• Significant results were observed after just 6 weeks on various functions

It has a nourishing effect "from within": it can therefore be used as a supplement to a topical solution (e.g., cosmetic cream) whose effect is necessarily limited when applied to the skin because the skin barrier prevents the absorption of active ingredients considered foreign to the body. On the other hand, when collagen is drunk or ingested, most of it is absorbed by the intestinal walls and used correctly to hydrate and nourish the tissues so that they perform better.

Furthermore, the amino acids in collagen peptides are also precursors to keratin, the main protein present in hair.

2. MOROSIL® BLOOD ORANGE EXTRACT

MOROSIL® Sicilian blood orange extract is a natural extract derived from blood oranges (Citrus sinensis), specifically grown in Sicily. It is often used as a dietary supplement in weight management and body fat control programs.

Main components and how it works:

MOROSIL® extract mainly contains anthocyanins, which are natural pigments found in blood oranges, as well as flavonoids and phenolic acids. These compounds are known for their antioxidant properties, but also for their effects on regulating fat metabolism.

MOROSIL® is recognized for having an effect on:

1. Body fat management: It works by reducing the absorption of dietary fat in the intestine, which can help decrease the amount of fat stored in the body.
2. Metabolism control: The extract appears to promote fat burning by acting on certain enzymes and receptors involved in lipid metabolism.
3. Improving body shape: By helping to reduce fat storage and boosting fat breakdown, MOROSIL can help improve body composition, particularly by reducing abdominal fat.

Benefits for weight loss:

The main benefit of MOROSIL® lies in its potential to promote weight loss naturally, particularly by targeting fat metabolism. Clinical studies suggest that it may have a moderate effect on reducing body weight and waist circumference, especially when combined with a balanced diet and exercise.

Studies and scientific evidence:

The activity of MOROSIL® extract was evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving 102 volunteers with a BMI between 25 and 30 kg/m2, who were treated with 400 mg/day of MOROSIL® for 12 weeks.

The results showed a significant reduction in body weight, BMI, waist circumference, and hip circumference, including:
* -3.9 cm waist circumference
* -3.4 cm hip circumference

3. HYALURONIC ACID, THE EXPERT INGREDIENT FOR HYDRATING AND TONING THE SKIN

A molecule naturally present in the body and widely distributed in our epithelial and nervous tissues

Capable of retaining more than 1000 times its weight in water. For more supple and plump skin

The natural amount of hyaluronic acid decreases with age, so by the age of 50, we lose half of our hyaluronic acid reserves

Appropriate supplementation therefore helps to regenerate the skin:

• Very high-quality molecule, produced using innovative plant biofermentation - no impact on Nature, no impact on People -
• Offered here with optimized fraction sizes - from 50 to 3000 kDa - specifically adapted for optimal use on the skin: our hyaluronic acid has the advantage of combining the highest degree of absorption while promoting the production of endogenous hyaluronic acid.
• Excellent tolerance
• Suitable for moisturizing young skin as well as for anti-aging in more mature skin
• Proven effectiveness (see studies below)
• The hyaluronic acid we use is: allergen-free, GMO-free, vegan, and developed without animal testing

Good to know - Hyaluronic acid:

• Improves the tone of mature, damaged, or specific skin types
• Improves skin hydration and elasticity from within
• Reduces the depth and volume of wrinkles
• Improves endogenous hyaluronic acid synthesis

4. CHICORY FIBERS

Chicory has it all! It is a herbaceous plant from the same family as lettuce, artichokes, sunflowers, and wild plants such as daisies and dandelions.

The most common genus and species of chicory - also found in the wild - is Cichorium intybus, now mainly cultivated, depending on the variety, either for its leaves (foliosum), which are eaten raw or cooked in salads (this is chicory or white endive), or for its root (sativum), which is ground into grains, powder or liquid and consumed as a vegetable drink with a distinctive caramelized taste.

• In its distant origins, chicory was used as a medicinal plant. From the Egyptians to the Greeks, Romans, and Charlemagne, chicory was appreciated for its digestive and regenerative benefits on the liver, bladder, kidneys, and even headaches.
• But it was in 1808, after France's defeat at Trafalgar against the English fleet and Napoleon I's decision to blockade British imports of sugar and coffee, that the use of chicory as a coffee substitute became widespread in French households.
• Subsequently, chicory was often mixed with coffee to balance its flavor and counteract its acidity and undesirable effects on the stomach. Today, chicory is widely used to relieve gastric acidity and is a first-line "remedy" for all digestive disorders.

We have selected a chicory powder from conventional or organic farming, in soluble form. It is obtained from chicory roots that are washed, cut, dried, roasted, ground, sifted, and extracted with hot water. It can be used to make a 100% plant-based drink with a unique caramelized taste and no additives, rich in minerals, naturally caffeine-free, and low in calories.

We have also enriched it with a soluble chicory fiber called inulin, extracted using a natural process. Inulin is a form of storage found in the root (it is also found in agave, garlic, asparagus, and artichokes), considered a non-digestible soluble fiber that serves as a substrate of choice for "good" intestinal bacteria to grow. This "prebiotic" function provides the body with numerous benefits, particularly in cases of intestinal disorders and for prevention.

• Non-irradiated
• Non-GMO
• Certified Vegan
• Allergen-free

Good to know:

• Chicory fiber promotes kidney function, drainage, and detoxification.
  

5. VITAMIN C

A VITAMIN THAT COMBATS CELLULAR AGING LINKED TO OXIDATIVE STRESS

It also plays an important role in metabolism and normal functioning through various biochemical reactions in the body. This includes collagen synthesis!

Vitamin C (or ascorbic acid) is a major vitamin found in fruits and vegetables. Our bodies cannot synthesize it, and food is the only way to obtain the necessary and sufficient amount. It is sensitive to cooking and air. It is therefore important to consume fresh fruits and vegetables quickly to retain all their vitamin C.

Its main benefits include reducing fatigue, fighting oxidation and cellular aging, and strengthening the immune system.

We have selected an organic acerola powder, a fruit that is particularly rich in natural vitamin C.

Its main functions are:

• Contribution to the protection of cells against oxidative stress
• Contribution to normal collagen formation to ensure normal skin function
