VERISOL® Collagen Peptides & Expert Formula: Why to choose it?

In 2025, we are bombarded with advertisements for beauty products in whatever media we devote a little of our free time in our daily lives. Collagen, hyaluronic acid, and any other ingredient that can help slow down the natural aging process, as much as possible, are all featured in these advertisements. Collagen has been and continues to be of particular interest to us, as it is a well-tolerated ingredient with a wide range of uses, from glowing skin to flexible musculoskeletal tissue. In a previous article, we mentioned all the benefits of collagen supplementation and the superiority of collagen peptides in terms of absorption and ultimately performance. However, we did not mention the clinically studied Verisol collagen, a key ingredient in Holland & Barrett's expert product range, which provides clinically significant benefits.

What is VERISOL® collagen?

VERISOL® collagen is an exceptional patented composition of bioactive collagen peptides, either marine or bovine origin, specially designed to stimulate the body's endogenous collagen production. VERISOL® is the only ingredient on the market that has been clinically proven to "unlock" the body's fibroblasts, stimulating endogenous collagen production and offering fundamental benefits for the skin, hair, and nails. Following the "lock and key" principle, VERISOL® acts as a signaling molecule for fibroblasts, increasing collagen production and enhancing the smooth texture we all seek, as we age.

In this way, VERISOL® offers clinically proven ability to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, increase skin elasticity, reduce orange-peel skin (cellulite), increase hair thickness, and strengthen nail hardness. So, it's 3 in 1!

VERISOL® & Clinically proven benefits. What does the research say?

Skin. A blind placebo-controlled study, involving over 100 women, aged between 45 and 65 years old, noted that supplemental intake of VERISOL® (2.5 g/day) led to a significant reduction in wrinkles (up to 21%) after 4 weeks, through significantly higher pro-collagen formation in the skin. Further clinical studies have shown that VERISOL® also helps to increase skin elasticity and improve skin surface structure (reduction of cellulite).

Hair. At the same time, VERISOL® was studied to see if it could improve hair health. Indeed, in a 16-week continuous administration in vitro study, its supplementation was associated with increased hair thickness (+31% significant increase in cell growth rate) and a significant improvement in hair appearance.

Nails. Finally, beyond the context of skin and hair, VERISOL® has been studied in relation to nail health, comparing nail brittleness before and after taking VERISOL®. In the study, 64% of participants achieved a significant overall improvement in nail health. Specifically, over a period of 12 weeks, there was an increase in nail length (approximately 2.7 mm/month) and an overall reduction in brittleness. Even 4 weeks after discontinuing use of VERISOL®, 88% of volunteers continued to show positive results.

With a neutral flavor and excellent solubility (in powder form), VERISOL® is available in orange-flavored individual gels or in powder form with a neutral or chocolate flavor. If you prefer the neutral-flavored powder, VERISOL® can be used in any type of beverage (coffee, cocoa, milk, smoothies) or even in meals of your choice (ideal for soups) due to its excellent solubility.

In conclusion

VERISOL® collagen is a revolutionary patent among commercially available collagen products intended to enhance skin, hair, and nail care. Gluten-free, allergen-free, and GMO-free, it is a promising and safe tool that can be incorporated into our daily routine.
