Several scientific studies have proven the benefits of VERISOL® Bioactive Collagen Peptides over the past few years.
In December 2020, ANVISA in Brazil approved VERISOL® as a bioactive substance for use in dietary supplements, with the claim for maintaining skin health.

- Collagen is essential to the skin and can be greatly affected by internal or external factors such as aging, sunlight pollution, smoking and inadequate nutrition.
- Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP®) are well established for their ability to positively influence human collagen metabolism.
THE SKIN AGING PROCESSOver the years, the amount of collagen our body produces begins to decrease. This reduction can reach an estimated rate of 1% each year, affecting the cellular structure of our skin and causing visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles and dryness, in addition to loss of skin firmness.
