Colladeen Derma Plus is specially formulated to support the health of skin and increase the body's natural defences against sun damage. The formula provides the same strength anthocyanidins as in our Maximum Strength Colladeen. Anthocyanidins are a group of flavonoid compounds found in dark skinned fruits, berries and even pine bark. Scientists studying these particular plant compounds have focused much of their work around the role they play in helping to support collagen, the tough protein that gives skin its elasticity. Both our Colladeen products are the most potent anthocyanidin formulas available, providing a full 160mg of anthocyanadins per tablet. Many similar products provide less than 20mg per tablet! We have also included two further fascinating nutrients in Colladeen Derma Plus, namely lutein and green tea extracts. These nutrients have been included because research indicates that lutein, a well known carotenoid, may play a protective role against the damaging effects of sunlight on skin. We've included a significant level of pure natural lutein in the formula to reflect the level used in a recent study. Colladeen Derma Plus also includes vitamin C, which plays a rolein normal collagen formation, together with niacin and biotin - all of which support the maintenance of normal skin.
