We share how taking our new product will protect your skin, nails, and hair
The first cold breeze is already in the air, and the scent of autumn is upon us. During the transitional seasons, our body can become stressed due to the sudden change in weather conditions and undergo certain changes and discomforts. Lower temperatures sometimes affect a body that isn't prepared for cold weather, and besides symptoms of viruses and colds, drier skin, weakened nails, and noticeably increased hair loss begin to appear. Today we tell you how RealFood Collagen Complex helps you strengthen your beauty from within and step into autumn in style.
What happens to your body in autumn?
The transitional season brings shorter days, less sunlight, low temperatures, and frequent rain. Besides affecting our mood, these factors are also a precondition for an imbalance in our health, more fatigue, and exhaustion. UV rays from the sun stimulate the production of vitamin D, which is beneficial for the immune system, bones, and muscles, and can improve cognitive function. Sunlight also stimulates serotonin production, helps with muscle relaxation, and regulates circadian rhythms – when it's lacking, one may even notice difficulty falling asleep and the appearance of anxiety.
Due to low temperatures and the sharp swings between warm and cold typical of spring and autumn, the skin also suffers. It is inevitably and constantly exposed to cold air, which dries it out and makes it rougher. Dry air prevents it from staying hydrated, and the familiar cracking appears, especially on the backs of the hands and fingers, and in some cases it can even lead to cold urticaria. If not treated in time, these conditions can worsen, and recovery can take weeks, even months.
Another common problem is hair loss. Seasonal hair shedding is truly unpleasant and affects a large portion of people worldwide. It appears precisely during the months of August and September, with the change of season, and there are several theories as to why it occurs. Experts note that since the hair has been exposed to high temperatures all summer, the strong sun directly damages the lengths and splits the ends. Separately, the follicles tend to enter the telogen phase (shedding phase) around July and are ready to fall out once temperatures drop. This study reports that precisely at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, in August and September, the amount of hair shed from participants' scalps is more than double compared to the previous seasons.
How does RealFood Collagen Complex take care of you in autumn?
Normal amounts of collagen in the body bring numerous benefits to the whole body – as a reminder, it is a structural component of all our organs and plays an important role in the strength of our skin, hair, nails, bones, muscles, joints, tendons, gut, and much more. Our new product - RealFood Collagen Complex, is a carefully selected combination of our beloved hydrolyzed collagen and vitamin C extracted from acerola, clinically tested hyaluronic acid, and highly bioavailable zinc. The action of each ingredient is complemented by the others, and together they create a powerful cocktail for your beauty from within.
Skin
The stress that skin endures with every change of season can be truly unpleasant. When it has been bathed in sunlight all summer and grown used to warmth, the moment the weather turns cold abruptly (as happened this September), it doesn't have time to adapt.
Regular intake of hydrolyzed collagen helps restore the skin's connective tissue, while its rich amino acid composition contributes to deep moisture retention and the formation of fibroblasts in the dermis. This advance preparation of the skin can help ensure it doesn't suffer from the dry cold and the sudden temperature change.
Hyaluronic acid, developed using special 2.0 technology and a full spectrum of hyaluronans, has a direct effect on the skin – the hyaluronans themselves are structured to match the size of skin cells as closely as possible. This technology has been used for more than 10 years and has strong scientific backing, with one of the studies on it showing that skin is 3.9% better protected against dehydration in the near future with regular intake.
The vitamin C found in RealFood Collagen Complex is extracted from acerola, which is also the most bioavailable source of the vitamin, and its antioxidant effect helps reduce pigmentation spots and inflammation resulting from sudden temperature changes. It is a key cofactor for collagen synthesis, and besides its other properties, this allows it to interact with the protein for even better results.
Nails
Like all the other visible parts of the body affected by the cold, nails also undergo changes during the change of season. Besides the delicate skin of the palms and the cuticles around the nails themselves, lower temperatures also dry out the nail plate. It becomes more brittle, easily flakes, and breaks even during ordinary everyday tasks. In people with a collagen deficiency in the body, and those who don't take it as an additional supplement after the age of 25, the “protective mechanism” from proteins is missing, and nail length suffers.
Besides the fact that collagen nourishes the nail plate and locks in moisture, the hyaluronic acid in RealFood Collagen Complex has the main property of hydrating cells, while the zinc we've added is their key nourishing substance and helps give nails a smooth, glossy appearance. Zinc deficiency could lead to nail dystrophy, change their color, and even alter their direction of growth.
Hair
Hair loss, dry and breaking hair – these are among the signs that autumn has arrived. After a summer full of sea water, sand, and sun, it's time for hair to recover and get the rest it needs. To recover after a period of heavier damage, the lengths need good protection. This can be found in collagen and zinc in RealFood Collagen Complex. They act directly on the hair follicle, strengthening it, and with continued use, visibly reduce hair loss. Separately, external collagen intake stimulates the body's endogenous synthesis of proteins, including collagen and elastin – the main building blocks of hair.
Taking care of your health and beauty as autumn arrives is a key step toward feeling comfortable in your own skin, staying productive, and enjoying time spent outdoors, even if it's cold and rainy. The powerful RealFood Collagen Complex cocktail offers effective care for your delicate beauty from the inside out, while the pleasant natural strawberry flavor will still keep that feeling of summer alive.
