Healing a leaky gut isn’t easy, but it’s possible. And you deserve to feel good again. Collagen can help.

Here's how:

Repairs the Gut Lining:
Collagen provides the amino acids necessary to repair and strengthen the intestinal lining, which can become damaged and permeable in leaky gut syndrome.

Provides Essential Amino Acids:
Collagen is a rich source of amino acids such as glutamine, glycine, and proline.

- Glutamine is particularly important for intestinal health, as it helps maintain the gut barrier and provides energy for the growth of intestinal cells.
- Glycine and Proline are essential for building and healing connective tissues in the gut, helping to restore the intestinal wall's integrity.

Reduces Inflammation:
The amino acid content in collagen may help to calm inflammation in the gut, a common factor in leaky gut symptoms.

Supports Nutrient Absorption:
By improving the strength of the gut wall, collagen can help prevent the loss of nutrients and improve overall absorption.

Even though collagen is present in some foods, the levels are low. Supplement you collagen levels with Largavita's COLLAGENplus+ Complex.

When the production of NAD+ in the body slows, so does the production of ATP. With its support for ATP production in the mitochondria, NAD+ provides you with the energy needed to power through intense workouts and maintain training consistency. 💪🏻

NAD+ also activates sirtuins (proteins that regulate cellular stress and inflammation), improving recovery times and reducing the risk of injury.

More and more interesting benefits from this red wine compound, including potential anti-cancer and anti-ageing activity are emerging
today.

A study done in 2006 on mice reported increased longevity when given a resveratrol supplement. In this study it mimics the longevity effect of kilojoule-restricted diet, which helps extend lifespan.

🍇 Resveratrol can be found in red wine, blueberries, peanuts and cocoa, but unless you are eating/drinking copious amounts of these, utilise the resveratrol contained in Largavita's NADplus+ Complex.

Collagen helps to maintain the structural integrity of parts of the eye, especially the cornea, sclera, and vitreous body, which supports vision and help prevent age-related degeneration.

👁️ How Collagen Affects the Eyes

Several types of collagen are essential to eye structure:

Collagen Type
Type I Provides strength and shape to the outer eye

Type II Maintains gel-like structure inside the eye

Type V Ensures corneal clarity and collagen spacing

Type IV Supports retinal and lens structures

Largavita's COLLAGENplus+Complex is a superior source of collagen. Different chemical processes with different yields are used for hydrolysis of collagen, some of which are very inferior when it comes to composition, absorption, and efficacy in the human body. COLLAGENplus+ Complex uses Peptan® hydrolysed peptides with high absorption rates (over 90%) which significantly improve bio-availability and clinical effects in the body.

Included in NADplus+ Complex is selenium. Selenium can help against cellular ageing that occurs in your brain, according to a study published in ""Neurotoxicity” in 2010.

As you age, your brain accumulates the toxic chemical methyl mercury, which contributes to the ageing process within your nervous system. Selenium can help neutralise methyl mercury, preventing its toxicity and helping to slow the ageing process

⚠️ Selenium Deficiency Symptoms:

- Fatigue

- Muscle weakness

- Brain fog or poor concentration

- Weakened immune response

- Hair loss or brittle nails

Collagen supplements help hair growth by supporting the underlying systems that influence hair structure, strength, and growth cycle, but they do so indirectly. Here’s how it works:

👩‍🦰 Hair is made primarily of keratin, a protein built from amino acids. Collagen supplements (especially hydrolysed collagen peptides) supply key amino acids.

Use Largavita's COLLAGENplus+Complex for stronger, healthier hair.

Royal jelly is a milky-white, nutrient-rich substance produced by worker honeybees. It’s used to feed all bee larvae for the first few days, but only larvae destined to become queen bees are fed royal jelly exclusively throughout their development. This diet allows the queen to grow larger, live longer, and be more fertile than worker bees.

🍯 What’s in Royal Jelly?

Royal jelly is made up of:

- Water (50-60%)

- Proteins (12-15%) – including major royal jelly proteins (MRJPs)

- Sugars (10–16%) – mainly glucose and fructose

- Fats (5-6%) – unique fatty acids like 10-HDA (10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid)

- Vitamins – B-complex (especially B5, B6, biotin, folate)

- Minerals – calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc

- Amino acids, enzymes, and antioxidants

Royal jelly is extensively used as a cosmetic or dietary supplement due to the belief that it exerts, on human beings, similar effects as it does on honeybees. Protein profile analysis showed that Royal Jelly acts as a scavenger of reactive oxygen species.

Besides the abundance of healthy ageing properties contained in Largavita's NDAplus+Complex, it also offers the benefits of Royal Jelly. Get yours from your local stockist (find their details on our website)

If collagen is taken from a 70kg body, what is left is 42 litres of water running away, with plus minus 20kg of cellular material lying in a structureless pile.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It acts like a scaffolding or glue, holding together your skin, bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. It gives structure, strength, and elasticity to many tissues.

Largavita's COLLAGEN+ Complex uses Peptan® hydrolysed peptides with high absorption rates (over 90%) which significantly improve bio-availability and clinical effects in the body. These peptides stimulate endogenous collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity, hydration, and cellular renewal. 🧪

Some research suggests that alpha lipoic acid may help reduce blood sugar levels in diabetics. If this theory holds true, people who are suffering from acne, rosacea and other skin problems that are triggered by fluctuating blood sugar levels may benefit from alpha lipoic acid supplementation.

The skin, as the largest organ in the human body, plays an essential role in protecting against environmental insults and preventing moisture loss. Ageing is an unavoidable biological process that affects all organs, but it is particularly noticeable in the skin due to its visibility and exposure to environmental factors.

Eggshell membrane is gaining recognition as a promising functional ingredient in the field of skin health. It contains bioactive compounds which have demonstrated potential in promoting cellular activity, boosting collagen production, and alleviating UV-induced damage and inflammation. 🥚

Largavita's COLLAGENplus+ Complex contains Ovoderm, an eggshell membrane extract that is rich in glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, chondroitin, and glucosamine. Ovoderm undergoes a rigorous extraction process that preserves the integrity of its bioactive components, ensuring maximum bioavailability and absorption.

Astaxanthin contained in the Antioxidant complex of NADplus+ Complex has been shown in the lab to be the strongest natural antioxidant known. 💪

We need antioxidants because they protect our cells and tissues from oxidative stress, which is caused by free radicals (unstable molecules that can damage DNA, proteins, and lipids). If too many free radicals build up, they can damage cells, this is called oxidative stress.

⚠️ Consequences of Oxidative Stress

Long-term oxidative stress is linked to many health problems, including:

- Cancer

- Heart disease

- Neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s)

- Type 2 diabetes

- Eye diseases (e.g. macular degeneration)

- Ageing-related damage to skin and organs

Prevention is better than cure. Get Largavita's NADplus+ Complex.
