- Hydrolysed Collagen (Type I)
- 2.5–10g
- Supplies proline, glycine, hydroxyproline for dermal collagen synthesis
- High. Peptides 2–10 kDa cross intestinal barrier intact
- Gold standard for skin elasticity improvement; doses below 2.5g rarely produce measurable results in clinical trials
- Reduced L-Glutathione (GSH)
- 500–1000mg
- Master antioxidant; neutralises ROS, reduces melanin production
- Variable. Liposomal forms show superior absorption vs standard capsules
- Essential for oxidative defence and skin tone evenness; sublingual or liposomal preferred over oral capsules
- Buffered Vitamin C
- 500–1000mg (split dose)
- Cofactor for collagen crosslinking; regenerates oxidised glutathione
- Moderate. SVCT1 transporter saturates at ~400mg/dose
- Synergistic with both collagen and glutathione; split dosing critical for maximising absorption
- Hyaluronic Acid (Low MW)
- 120–240mg
- Binds water in dermal matrix; increases skin moisture retention
- Moderate. Low MW forms (<300 kDa) show better oral bioavailability
- Clinically effective at lower doses than collagen; pairs well with collagen for comprehensive skin hydration
- Ceramides (Oral)
- 30–50mg
- Restores lipid barrier function in stratum corneum
- Low to moderate. Absorption enhanced with dietary fats
- Emerging evidence for barrier repair; best used alongside hydration-focused peptides
- Astaxanthin
- 4–12mg
- Potent antioxidant; protects against UV-induced collagen degradation
- High. Lipophilic compound absorbed with dietary fats
- Strong adjunct to glutathione for photoprotection; clinical doses start at 4mg daily
