Glow for the skin. The term is often used in skin care. But what exactly is this mysterious glow? Glow means to shine or radiate. The term has entirely positive connotations because it describes gently glowing skin, as if an Instagram filter had been applied. A baby’s skin has this glow naturally. This rosy freshness is also present in youth because the skin is well supplied with blood and has sufficient elasticity.

Unfortunately, the rosy appearance diminishes when environmental damage affects the skin and it becomes thinner and less even due to aging. It appears noticeably duller and loses its radiance. This has a lot to do with the loss of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. These are precisely what give the skin its elasticity, resilience, and vitality.

Collagen boosts skin, hair, and nails

It is primarily produced in connective tissue cells, known as fibroblasts. From around the age of 20, the body’s own production decreases by around 1 percent each year. After 40, the reduction in collagen manifests itself in wrinkles, reduced elasticity, and weaker connective tissue. However, collagen loss is not limited to the skin. This important protein is also found in other structures in the body, such as hair, nails, bones, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. It is responsible for tissue regeneration and supports cellular repair functions throughout the body.

Not all collagen is the same

In the skin, the dermis, which is located just below the top layer, is particularly rich in collagen. It ensures that the tissue is elastic yet firm and stable. Bones consist of around one-fifth collagen. It is important for bone mineralization and thus contributes to their stability. In the joints, collagen-rich cartilage tissue ensures smooth movement while cushioning shocks and jumps. However, not all collagen is the same. There are different types: Type I & III is the most common form. It is important for skin, hair, and connective tissue. Type II supplies the cartilage, and types V & X support skin structure, joints, and vascular health.

vedi-glow for comprehensive collagen care

This is where Sandhya’s vedi-glow comes in. It promotes natural collagen formation and provides holistic support for the skin, connective tissue, and the regeneration of nails, hair, and joints. It also offers antioxidant cell protection. To achieve all this, the plant-based collagen capsules contain a combination of eggshell membrane, Ayurvedic plant extracts, and natural vitamin C, which is also involved in collagen formation. Aloe vera and gotu kola can also contribute to inner balance.

The ingredients in detail

• 150 mg eggshell membrane (Ovomet®) provides natural collagen types I, V, and X, supplemented with elastin, glucosamine, and hyaluronic acid. This composition has several important benefits: it promotes skin elasticity and tone, regenerates connective tissue and joints, and strengthens the structure of hair and nails in a holistic way.
• 90 mg aloe vera extract (200:1) supports skin cell regeneration and improves skin moisture from within. It can also regulate inflammatory processes in the tissue.
• 80 mg amla extract (including 24 mg vitamin C) activates the body’s own collagen formation and protects cells from oxidative stress (anti-aging). At the same time, it promotes skin firmness and structure.
• 60 mg pomegranate peel extract (including 24 mg ellagic acid) prevents premature skin aging by providing potent antioxidants to protect skin cells. It also optimizes skin tissue regeneration.
• 50 mg Gotu Kola powder is partly responsible for collagen synthesis in connective tissue. It supports wound healing and skin renewal, improves tissue and skin structure.
• 40 mg bamboo extract (including 30 mg silica, 14 mg silicon) supplies the skin, hair, nails, and bones with plant-based silicon. It promotes skin elasticity and tone, as well as the structural strength of hair and nails.

Beauty begins within

Who wouldn’t want glowing skin? Me too! But that’s not enough for me. I want a collagen supplement that provides holistic care for my skin, connective tissue, and joints. My joints in particular need support after hip surgery. That’s why I chose vedi-glow. I also like the values of this German company: Ayurveda-inspired, natural ingredients, and recyclable, sustainable packaging made from uncoated paper.

Taking the brownish capsules is easy. I swallow one twice a day, preferably with my main meals at lunchtime and in the evening. I drink plenty of water with them. After just 10 days, I can already feel that I am more flexible when exercising and that my joints are less painful during certain exercises. That alone is enough to put a smile on my face every day.
