The intake of collagen peptides promotes the regeneration of elastic fibers, while dermal collagen reduces the levels of collagenase and gelatinase, improving skin turgor, reducing trans-epidermal water loss, and increasing skin hydration and elasticity as early as 12 weeks of treatment.

Peptan® is composed of type I collagen derived from fish. It is obtained from the skin of freshwater farmed fish such as tilapia, carp and pangasius. It contains mainly type I collagen, which is very close in composition to the collagen in human skin. For this reason, this type of collagen is most suitable for achieving an effective and rapid anti-aging effect. It contains 20 amino acids organized into peptides, including eight of the nine essential amino acids. It is characterized by the predominance of glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, which account for about 50 percent of the total amino acid content.

The peculiarity of Peptan is that it is produced in a form that is gastro-protected, whereby gastric degradation at the expense of PH and digestive enzymes is avoided. This expedient makes Ialips a product different than similar products in that it provides better absorption and thus better bioavailability of the active ingredients to the benefit of the results observed and appreciated by the patient.

Already after 3 months of treatment the skin appears to be more hydrated, relaxed and elastic.

The beneficial effect of collagen peptides on skin elasticity, wrinkle reduction, and increased collagen deposition in the dermis have been demonstrated in various clinical studies conducted with Peptan.

Bioactive collagen peptides have a dual action:

1. On the one hand, free amino acids help form the fibers of collagen, acting as a substrate
2. On the other hand, some small peptides bind to fibroblast membrane receptors, stimulating their proliferation and consequently increasing the production of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin.

The intake of 2 capsules of IALIPS ® per day (equivalent to 420g of collagen) for 90 days has been shown to reduce skin dryness around the lips, wrinkles and the depth of naso-labial furrows, increasing skin firmness and collagen density.

A double clinical study of 139 women compared the specific effects of fish-derived Peptan (Peptan ® F) with an average molecular weight of 2000-5000 Da, at a dose of 10 grams per day for 56/84 consecutive days compared with patients taking placebo.

Oral supplementation of Peptan collagen peptides significantly increased skin hydration after 8 weeks of intake, up to 56%. Collagen density in the dermis increased, while fragmentation of the dermal collagen network significantly decreased as early as after 4 weeks of supplementation, thus counteracting one of the hallmarks of skin aging. These effects persisted 12 weeks after treatment discontinuation.

Thanks to the demonstration studies, Ialips 30cps is confirmed to be a comprehensive and well-formulated nutraceutical useful for intervening physiologically to achieve an Anti-Age effect in association with Ialips Serum e Ialips cream In patients of childbearing age who have undergone lip fillers with hyaluronic acid. The resulting visible effect is to achieve more hydrated, plumped, more elastic, and more voluminous lips.
