Every great and historic product tends to begin prosaically, with the
majority of the significant inventions having been determined by
coincidence.

In the 1990s a team of scientists from the Institute of Chemistry in
Gdansk (Poland) were in rather modest conditions, working on benefits
beyond the field of cosmetology from collagen obtained from extracts
of fish skins. This collagen had a structure of an amino - acid chain
perfectly compatible to that of humans.

However, it was not yet a sensational creation. Collagen obtained
from the skin of cattle and later from the skin of fish had been used for
a long time worldwide in cosmetic implants, self-dissolving stitches,
vessel prostheses, compresses and as an ingredient in ointments
for scalds, scars and stretch mark treatments. Cosmetic companies
have been investing millions of dollars into the research of obtaining
collagen for 30 years. Such collagen was an ingredient usually of
the most expensive and the most advertised face creams, gels, face
conditioners and face masks.
As a follow up, in the search for biologically active collagen they
discovered a filtration method through a patented modification of
technology, which involves a protein material, chemically very similar
to collagen and does not break the fragile protein chain supported by a
hydrogen bond.
This was the birth of the greatest Polish chemical discovery since
the time of protein extraction from Antarctic krill ( which actually
was never used ). Collagen obtained through this method retained
its crystalline structure of amino acids which is identical to the so
called "triple helix" in human skin. It meant opening the route to
restoring protein, whose shortage caused ageing to the skin. In other
words it actually demonstrates the capability of reducing wrinkles. The
world of science was stirred by this new discovery. Collagen retaining
its triple helix arrangement was a sensational discovery, but only in the
sphere of specialists. The only problem was its perish ability at high
temperatures.
This problem was crucial for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic
companies who wished to obtain exclusive rights to the first medicine
in the world that possessed skin-repair properties. Nevertheless, they
were not seriously interested in it as long as it was prone to go through
the process in which the structure of the protein changed irreversibly,
losing the triple helix formation at room temperature.
Despite this fact, some Polish entrepreneurs from the north of Poland
launched a collagen preparation onto the market as early as 2002 -
2003. Still, it had to either be transported and kept in cold storage
or packed into huge polystyrene foam flasks that were not efficient
in the summer. A turning point, which from the commercial point of
view was comparable with the discovery of natural collagen itself, was
a development by technicians from a newly created modification of
technology patent. This new formulation enabled the products to be
stored, transported and used at room temperature (i.e., 22 centigrade,
and soon up to above 26 centigrade) without losing the triple helix
in which it is arranged, and the most valuable properties. Before this
achievement, the world's perspective on collagen preparations was
quiet.
The clinical analyses conducted in 2001 and 2002 simultaneously
in the USA, Canada, France, Kuwait and Ukraine indisputably
confirmed the significance of the invention, yet had reservations
that
the collagen preparation only displayed biological activity and
effectiveness in temperature limits between 5 and 15 centigrade.
A new company--Baltic Collagen inc.--used the situation of extending
negotiations between the worlds tycoons and the producer who was
the most advanced in the creation of the latest stable commercial
formula. It was the last position in the tender for the rights to the
exclusive trade mission of the Baltic Collagen product line, which was
coming into existence.
Entrusted by thousands of consumers nationwide, Baltic Collagen is
no ordinary cosmetic. It is a living, biochemically active protein, which
strives to unify with the protein fibers of the user's skin. It is the chance
to make one of the oldest dreams of humankind--retaining youth--come
true.

Through these studies, a newly stabilized, yet active collagen molecule has emerged with the ability to combine with aged proteins of skin and target the direct cause of aging. While many opponents of collagen products insist that collagen cannot absorb into the skin, the fact remains that developing research confirms a new product with the ability to do so. Clearly the high concentration, trans-dermal absorptivity and unprecedented levels of biochemical activity do in some way contribute to the efficacy of results obtained. Owed to a patented purification process, the outcome of the study may hold future benefits to the medical industry as well.



However, before May of 2009, Baltic Collagen was not yet a sensational discovery. In 2002, the preliminary research arrived at an acceptable anti aging skin care product with reservations that it did not display biochemical activity at room temperatures. The collagen preparation only displayed biological activity and effectiveness in temperature limits between 41 and 59 degrees Fahrenheit. It was a major problem to research and development; however, follow up studies continued until another major technological advance came underway, which led the project into a new direction.


Besides the ability to unify with and absorb into the skin's cellular network, as Harry Klenda, President of Baltic Collagen Inc. points out clinical research indicates that the patented collagen compound neutralizes and protects against free radical damage.

It is no surprise that free radicals accelerate the aging process, The human body is made up of specialized cells that each perform a specific function. As one ages free radicals, known as aggravated atoms or molecules, slowly damage neighboring cells. When a free radical attacks a nearby atom it steals an electron to become stable. But by taking an electron from another chemical, the donating molecule becomes a free radical itself, and the process repeats. The chain reaction (known as propagation) can be thousands of events long. This is damage, and each event ages one's appearance everyday.

However, further experimental evidence suggests that a free radical does little damage when attacking a "loose" protein or other molecule in the body whereas a free radical attacking a collagen molecule of the skin causes a break in the collagen strand. Once the collagen of skin obtains multiple breaks, it loses its elastic quality. Skin becomes thin and limp.

Cells on the outer epidermal layer of skin are each subjected to 5,000 free radical attacks every day. And because the number of damaged cells is constantly increasing, so is the demand for antioxidants. As the ability to produce antioxidants in ones own defense decreases, the aging process speeds up every year.

Experimental evidence supports that Baltic Collagen protects against free radical damage in two ways: It acts as a sacrificial target of free radicals, attracting them like a magnet, and the preparation forms a protective barrier to airborne pollutants, shielding free radicals from making their way in.



The applied collagen gets attacked before free radicals make their way into the internally attached collagen proteins [rather than loose proteins] of skin; it also seals out environmental stressors that cause aging: pollution, heavy metals, and biochemical processes. It is a synchronized complex with dual (overlapping) antioxidant action; everyday that one wears the Baltic Collagen is a day that the skin does not age," reports Harry Klenda, President of Baltic Collagen inc.

By analyzing the benefits of biochemical activity, purity, and absorption, it becomes clear that consumers prosper greatly from this new development in collagen research. Through these studies, a newly stabilized, yet active collagen molecule has emerged with the unprecedented ability to absorb and combine with aged proteins and marks the first generation of skin care products to target the direct cause of aging. Clinical (trials/results) bring promising findings for universal applications to the medical industry as well. Clinical results offer promising findings in universal applications to the medical industry as well.
