The Science Behind Native Collagen
Fact: Not All Collagens Are Created Equal
Collagen is a protein found in the body of all animals, including humans. It makes up connective tissue like skin, tendons, cartilage, organs, and bones. It's rich in amino acids that play an important role in the building of joint cartilage and has anti-aging and anti-inflammatory effects.
Some doctors, including dermatologists and cosmetic industry professionals will tell you that topical creams and serums containing collagen may be a complete waste of money because collagen molecules are very large -- making them next to impossible to penetrate the skin.
And we would have to agree.
The extra-large collagen molecules in Type I collagen (the most widely occurring collagen in connective tissue) that cannot efficiently penetrate the skin are referred to as HYDROLYZED collagen hydrolysates. To be useful, this type of collagen must undergo hydrolysis, an aggressive chemical process that results in hydrolyzed collagen. This type of collagen (usually from bovine sources) is the one found in most of the collagen products on the market today.
Natural Collagen/Colway products are completely different. Here is an explanation:
| BOVINE HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN | NATIVE MARINE COLLAGEN |

|
The amino acid chains are hydrolyzed, meaning they have been broken down to form short chains. |
Native collagen protein is cut into single amino acids, instead of chains of amino acids. Collagen produced in this way keeps its spatial structure, very similar to the structure of human collagen, (i.e. a triple helix.) |
|
Due to the size of the molecule, bovine sourced collagen does not penetrate the skin easily – it simply rests on the surface of the skin. Therefore, rendering temporary results. |
Native collagen is transdermal. It penetrates human skin easily due to smaller molecules (patent no. 206813). Marine native collagen treats not only the cause of skin aging, but the effects of it as well. Upon touching your skin, it immediately begins to work in tandem with your body's natural processes to penetrate the skin's layers and regenerate depleted collagen fibres. |
Our exclusive collagen serums visibly reduce wrinkles and fine lines after only 110 days of use (the time needed to rebuild your skin’s collagen structure). Our collagen skin care products are equally successful in healing the skin from burns, abrasions, and diminishing redness, as well as helping to heal skin pigmentation conditions.

Wipe away years of skin damage with the restorative powers of Native Collagen DNA. This “super cosmetic” is enriched with nucleic acids (DNA, RNA and native salmon roe extract) and other active ingredients that kick-start and support the natural process of creating connective tissue. DNA and RNA acids filter toxins, and repair and protect the cell system against reactive forms of oxygen and UV rays – while activating the cells to rebuild. Added bonus: Native Collagen DNA also improves blood circulation and lipid metabolism, as well as the synthesis of ATP. In this case, we think DNA should stand for “Do Not Age!”
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
Nucleic acid DNA + RNA (native)/Salmon leek extract
They start the replication of the skin's structure, activate cells, work strongly against oxidation and protect against reactive oxygen species. The DNA and RNA acids are a filter for toxins, protecting the cellular system. They improve circulation, and thus oxygenate cells and improve lipid metabolism.
Kinetin
Occurs in the human genetic code. Stimulates DNA repair processes, protects against UV rays and free radicals, reduces excessive pigmentation. Activates fibroblasts and stimulates collagen production.
SOD (superoxide dismutase)
Is an elite cosmetic component. It protects the body from oxidative stress and premature aging of tissues. Naturally relieves the effects of the passage of time and slows down the processes of wrinkle formation.
GHK-Cu copper peptide
Naturally occurring peptide stimulating the functioning of stem cells. It increases the production of collagen in the skin, prevents photo-aging, improves elasticity and evens skin tone. Supports the reduction of wrinkles, increases the skin density and thickness. It is non-toxic and does not irritate the skin.
