Recently launched in 2009, a new anti aging preparation brings new hope to defy the aging process. The product line is Baltic Collagen and is more commonly known for its specialized ingredient--biochemically active and stable collagen. All products are characterized by the richness of this natural component made possible by a highly specialized process of collagen extraction. The collagen used in these products is extracted by hand at low temperatures, which preserves the structural integrity of the triple helix in which collagen is arranged, more closely resembling the structure of human proteins. The processes that yield its high concentration and retain its bioactivity at room temperature are key to its ability to fight the skin-aging process.
"Attributed to a highly regarded research and development team, Baltic Collagen is constantly devoted to creating and improving its preparations, posits Harry Klenda, president and CEO of Baltic Collagen inc. Through our research we have obtained a natural product with a high concentration of hydroxyproline, a major component of the collagen protein, which has enabled us to use biologically active collagen in the manufacture of our products. The hydroxyproline is introduced in a special way to add structural support to the collagen molecule. Cross linkages of this hydroxylated amino acid hydrogen bond to the collagen molecule, reinforcing the molecular structure even at room temperatures, which gives the molecule unprecedented chemical stability." The Research and Development Department of Baltic Collagen inc. uses nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to study the three-dimensional structures of thefibroblast growth factor protein in solution. Through these studies, a newly stabilized collagen molecule has emerged and may be the first generation of skin care products to use collagen effectively. Biologically active collagen, works beneath the skin surface, penetrating the underlying tissues, which enables the reconstruction of collagen fibers in the lower layers of the skin. All products are subjected to dermatological testing and are hypoallergenic. Still, the Baltic Collagen product line imparts a degree of quality and authority that sets the standard of excellence in anti-aging preparations today. |
