Anti-aging supplements

Over time, our skin changes—it loses moisture, elasticity, and sometimes that natural glow. But there’s good news: Anti-aging supplements can support your skin from the inside out—for a fresher look and a healthy radiance that shines through.

Anti-aging from within: Which vitamins, minerals & more can really help with wrinkles?

Collagen – the gold standard in anti-aging

High-quality anti-aging supplements often start with collagen hydrolysate—a specially broken-down form of protein that provides your skin with essential building blocks. These collagen peptides can support your body’s own production of collagen and hyaluronic acid—two key elements for skin elasticity, hydration, and firmness.

Studies show: taking collagen hydrolysate daily over at least eight weeks can positively impact skin moisture and elasticity. And here's something interesting—where your collagen comes from matters. Marine collagen, especially from fish, showed particularly promising results for skin hydration.

Hyaluronic acid – hydration meets glow

Yes, your body actually produces hyaluronic acid on its own! This gel-like molecule stores moisture and helps keep your skin firm and supple. But with age, production slows down—skin becomes drier and loses its bounce.

The good news? You can support your skin both inside and out. While skincare products act on the surface, capsules and drinks work from within—long-lasting and backed by science. So why not double down on moisture?

Elastin – your skin’s underrated structure hero

Elastin is another crucial skin protein—alongside collagen and hyaluronic acid, it helps maintain firmness, flexibility, and a smooth surface. This trio acts like a dream team against the visible signs of aging.

But over time, stressors like UV rays, oxidative stress, and poor lifestyle habits can weaken elastin. The result? Less elasticity, more wrinkles, and a skin texture that feels different. The good news: you can support your elastin levels—like with OVODERM®, an innovative eggshell membrane extract found in our collagen complex. It’s even vegetarian-friendly and backed by more than 20 studies.

Vitamin C – your beauty booster with immune power

Vitamin C does more than support your immune system—it’s also key for skin health. As a co-factor in collagen production, it’s vital for elasticity and structure. Without enough of it, your skin can’t build a strong foundation. If you're thinking long-term skin health, vitamin C is a must-have.

Zinc – the small-but-mighty mineral for healthy aging

Zinc works right where fresh skin begins: in cell division and the formation of new tissue. It also binds free radicals as an antioxidant and supports the production of both keratin and collagen—key for elasticity and skin renewal. Put simply: no zinc, no glow.

Coenzyme Q10 as Ubiquinol – your inner skin shield

You might know coenzyme Q10 from face creams—but its real magic happens inside your cells. Especially in its active form, ubiquinol, Q10 becomes a true beauty booster. No need for your body to convert it—it’s ready to go.

Q10 lives deep in your skin cells and even in your lipid layer, where it teams up with other antioxidants to protect your skin from oxidative stress. At the same time, Q10 plays a vital role in the mitochondria—your cellular energy centers. More energy equals more vitality—and it shows in your skin.

As we age, natural Q10 production declines. And yes—you can see and feel that difference.

Vitamin E – your cellular bodyguard with skin benefits

Sun exposure, pollution, environmental stress—vitamin E helps your cells stand strong. It defends against oxidative stress, helps prevent light-induced damage, and strengthens the skin barrier. Plus, it locks in moisture and supports resilience from within.

Polyphenols – plant-based power for your skin

Found in pomegranate, grape seeds, and other plant sources, polyphenols are the unsung heroes of skin health. These powerful antioxidants help neutralize free radicals—the same troublemakers that break down collagen and elastin.

That’s why polyphenols are your skin’s natural defense in the daily anti-aging game. Gentle, plant-based, and smart—which is exactly why they’re part of our BIOGENA AESTHETICS range.

Ceramides – your skin barrier’s best friend

Why are ceramides so important in anti-aging? Simple: a strong skin barrier keeps moisture in. And moisture loss is one of the key reasons skin becomes dry, rough, and less elastic with age.

Ceramides help lock in hydration, smooth out skin texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Your skin will thank you—with softness you can see and feel.

Are anti-aging supplements better than regular creams?

Why choose when the real magic lies in combining both? Skincare from the outside and micronutrients from within make a powerful team—and that’s the real difference-maker.

Sure, aging is natural. But you can shape how gracefully it shows. With thoughtfully chosen skincare and targeted nutrients, you can support your skin from every angle. It’s not about shortcuts—it’s about synergy. And your skin? It’ll show the difference.
