In the past, the benefits of collagen treatments were generally enjoyed by injection, such as in many of the dermal fillers available on the market today. While these procedures offer stellar results, many patients shied away from the potential discomfort that accompanies injections. Today, you can enjoy the many advantages of collagen infusion with no needles involved! The Purigenex skin care line offers collagen-based products like nothing else ever seen in the skin care industry before.

Purigenex offers all new, scientific formulas designed for the best results possible from a topical collagen treatment. The highly soluble collagen in the mix penetrates the skin to build skin elasticity and connective tissue integrity. The result is skin that is plumper, smoother and younger looking. The products are currently only available through doctor's offices and medical spas, and kits are sold in eight-week supplies.

Benefits of Purigenex

There are a number of benefits to the Purigenex product line that have not been seen with other types of topical skin care solutions. These benefits include:

Improved skin elasticity
Increased strength and tone of skin tissue
Delayed skin cell aging, for a more youthful complexion
Promotion of the body's own collagen production
Better penetration than other collagen-based products today
Can be used to repair sun damage, discolorations, acne scarring and the effects of aging

The formula is also non-immunogenic, which means immune reactions are very rare. According to the product manufacturer, the formula integrates with skin cells for excellent results.

About Collagen

Purigenex only uses type I antecollagen from animal sources. Many collagen-based skin care products today use plant collagens that are biologically inactive, due to both the source of the collagen and the methods used for processing and storing it. Purigenex uses animal collagen, similar to what is used in some collagen-based dermal fillers. The collagen is carefully stored at lower temperatures, since exposing collagen to room temperature or higher denatures the substance and renders it ineffective. Antecollagens are used, because their chemical makeup makes them less likely to cause allergic reactions in users.

What is Included in the Purigenex Line?

Purigenex products are only available through physicians, medical spas and aesthetic professionals. The products come in a kit that provides an eight-week supply of skin care. The two main therapies in the Purigenex line are the ICS Intensive Collagen Serum and ICM Ionized Collagen Mask. Both are FDA-registered, preservative-free formulas that are safe for even the most sensitive skin types. The products work together to slow aging in skin cells, nourish the skin and promote the body's own collagen production.

For those who need additional skin repair, Purigenex also has products to address specific needs. Advanced Dermal Repair is equipped with 27 antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to help skin regain a younger appearance and better health. It is touted as an anti-aging treatment, but it can also be used to heal sun damage, inflammation or a host of skin disorders. Advanced Eye Repair is used to erase signs of aging around the eyes and Discoloration Corrective Therapy is primarily used to diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation and age spots. Intensive Hydrating Therapy is also available to treat very dry, aging skin.

The products are fairly expensive and can only be purchased through medical professionals. However, if you are concerned about the discomfort involved with collagen injections, the Purigenex skin care line with collagen may be worth considering. The products are high quality, with penetrable collagen that may promote healthier skin from the inside out.

RoxSpa Presents the Top Ten Treatments for 2010

noreply@blogger.com (purigenex.com) — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 21:38:00 +0000

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., March 4 /PRNewswire/ -- RoxSpa, one of the most prestigious and luxurious medi-spas in Beverly Hills, announces their annual 'Top Ten' face and body rejuvenation treatments that are both highly-effective and provide the most satisfying results. Sought after as much for 'beauty maintenance' as for dramatic improvements by millionaires, celebrities, and Hollywood wives, these treatments are available to anyone at a fraction of the cost of cosmetic surgery.

Top Ten Beauty Treatments

Pixel Laser Resurfacing – Designed to treat aged and photo-damaged skin, the laser removes damaged outer layers and stimulates the production of collagen and new skin cells in the underlying layers. Ideal for the face, neck, chest, arms and hands, it provides for a smoother, tighter and improved skin texture.
Harmony® Photofacial – Combining multiple laser treatments to improve sun damaged skin, uneven pigmentation, and blood vessels, it leaves the skin with a fresh, healthy glow.
Dermal Fillers – Safe and simple biocompatible dermal fillers including Restylane®, Juvederm® and Evolence® are injected to increase volume in the face, taking years off of one's appearance.
Botox® – A perennial favorite for its almost instantaneous results, Botox® relaxes the tiny facial muscles that cause worry lines in the forehead, crow's feet, frown lines and laugh lines, resulting in a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Purigenex Ionized Collagen Masks – Providing dermal cell regeneration that prevents and repairs skin from the effects of aging and sun damage, as well as discolorations and acne scarring. Patients see immediate results after the application of a single mask - with skin appearing smoother and more supple.
Vi Peel Treatment™ – Painless, quick and designed to reverse the signs of aging and sun damage on the skin, the Vi Peel improves the texture of the skin, reduces age spots, and softens lines and wrinkles.
Hydrafacial™ – This simple treatment is a perfect lunchtime therapy. It exfoliates dead skin cells and extracts impurities while thoroughly hydrating the skin.
Accent® Laser Body Contouring – A non-invasive treatment using the most advanced radiofrequency technology, it treats cellulite and tones loose, crepe-like skin.
Laser Hair Removal – The Soprano® laser by Alma provides effective laser hair reduction in less time and without the pain and discomfort of traditional lasers.
ZERONA® – The first non-invasive body contouring procedure to effectively remove excess fat and help patients lose a remarkable three or more inches. Utilizing low-level UV laser technology, it is much less expensive than liposuction and totally non-invasive.

PURIGENEX ON EXTRA NBC-TV!

noreply@blogger.com (purigenex.com) — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 21:18:00 +0000

Collagen does the work of dermal fillers in this new formulation, recently featured on "Extra."

A new topical collagen treatment, Purigenex, rejuvenates your skin as the only Type 1 collagen available in topical cosmetic form. The collagen can prevent and repair signs of aging, including skin discoloration and fine lines. Damage from the sun and acne scars are treated as well.

The collagen works by penetrating the skin to support and build connective tissue elasticity. Skin is able to bounce back from the effects of time and gravity. It will appear more youthful, smoother and more supple. The formulation of the collagen in Purigenex has shown that few, if any, have an allergic reaction and, according to the manufacturer, it integrates with skin cells very well.

PURIGENEX offers two therapies. One is the ICS Intensive Collagen Serum and ICM Ionized Collagen Mask. Both the serum and the mask are made with a highly purified atelocollagen. It is a non-immunogenic, bio-compatible element in the most active animal-source form. The ICS and ICM are FDA-registered, preservative-free formulas that are tolerated well, even by those with sensitive skin.

Regular use shows a boost in collagen integrity and the skin not only looks better, but is better equipped to function as one of the body's most important organs. Also, patients avoid stinginginjections, more intense laser resurfacing, and chemical peels.

Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Brenner recently appeared on Extra and spoke about his experience with Purigenex, He uses the mask and is able to treat patients with no pain at all. There is no surgery nor needle involved with the treatment so patients are able to return to normal activities right away.

Roxspa Beverly Hills Introduces A Transformative Micro-collagen Facial

noreply@blogger.com (purigenex.com) — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 23:56:00 +0000

Topical Collagen of this Quality has Never Been Available Before

(Beverly Hills, CA) - RoxSpa is pleased to announce that it is now offering Purigenex Ionized Collagen Masks (ICM) and Intensive Collagen Serum (ICS). They are one of the few medi-spas in the nation to have access to these new and highly effective skin treatments. Both the Masks and the Serum provide significant therapeutic impact and dermal cell regeneration to those seeking to prevent and repair their skin from aging, sun damage, discolorations and acne scarring.

Patients see immediate results after the application of a single mask - with skin appearing smoother and more supple. However, since the preservative-free formulas help build connective tissue integrity and elasticity over time, a series of eight masks, one per week, and serum, applied twice a day, provides the most dramatic results. After the initial series, long-term benefits can be maintained by the application of the mask once a month. For an instant and radiant glow, women scheduled to walk the red carpet often apply the mask the night before, or even the day of, a special event.

"I love this treatment! For the first time, topical collagen can actually penetrate to the dermis and make significant improvements on a cellular level," states Kelley West, RoxSpa Director and clinical Aesthetician. "My patients are amazed at the immediate results and I am personally addicted to this product. Purigenex helps to stimulate the body's own production of collagen which improves the tone and texture of the skin, plumps fine lines and wrinkles, lightens hyperpigmentation, and gives the patient an overall glow and youthful appearance. And this is the only 'treatment' oriented facial that is safe for all skin types and expectant mothers. Truly, I haven't been this excited about a new procedure in a very long time!"

PREGNANCY AND PURIGENEX

noreply@blogger.com (purigenex.com) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:50:00 +0000

Pregnancy is such an exciting time for women that its no wonder we often hear of a “pregnancy glow.” While this is one of the many benefits of expecting, a downside of pregnancy is excess production of hormones, which often leads to acne. The good news is that expecting mothers do have an easy, non-invasive way to combat inflammation and acne scarring. Purigenex collagen can decrease acne scars, heal skin more rapidly and restore the health of skin better than it had ever been before.

Melasma (hyperpigmentation of skin) is another common side effect associated with excess circulating hormones. This too can be treated with the use of Purigenex. Our collagen masks increase the density of skin, which then decrease the activation of melanocytes in melanin production, reducing hyperpigmentation. Even those with sensitive skin and redness will notice results from our topical Purigenex collagen. The integrity of the skin will be strengthened and redness will diminish.

After nine months have past and baby arrives, the fun certainly begins. While moms can now start the process to shed baby weight, something they are happy to part with, their pregnancy glow (swelling from water retention and increased circulation) will disappear rapidly post partum and facial skin will show signs of flaccidity (sagging). Additional wrinkles and indicators of aging may appear. However, use of Purigenex Collagen can prevent the post partum aging process, so that after delivery, the skin will be more resilient and healthier and have more elasticity and density.

All in all, Purigenex collagen masks and serums are non-invasive, require no downtime and can be used throughout all stages of pregnancy.

“Many of my patients had been coming to me seeking alternative ways to combat aging sans injections, surgery and with minimal downtime when I was looking for a solution. Sun damage had taken its toll on my skin and wrinkles subsequently formed around my eyes and on my forehead as well. Developing Purigenex related products such as the Purigenex Ionized facial mask and intensive anti-wrinkle serum has allowed me to keep up with the latest anti-aging trends for both my patients and myself and has only broadened my knowledge in skin and wellness.

Dr. Bennett agrees with this doctor-patient dialog whole-heartedly. She blogs independently for her own patients, is an Intent.com voice and is also an expert author for EzineArticles.com

“Patient education is something I have always emphasized throughout my twenty years of private practice.

I am happy to join a board of professionals whose backgrounds cover varying approaches to aging gracefully. Together through Radiant Life Magazine we can truly provide answers for everyone.”

Exclusive use of Purigenex in the UK

noreply@blogger.com (purigenex.com) — Thu, 21 May 2009 16:45:00 +0000

Yet another exciting Purigenex success story! This press release was sent to us and we just had to share. Read below............

Aesthetic practitioner in Sevenoaks is the first in the UK to use the

PURIGENEX™ Collagen Mask System.

This unique product is proving to be one of the most popular non-invasive and comfortable treatments which can be undertaken at the clinic, or, following a consultation by patients in their own home.

“There are many of our patients who want something special to reduce their lines and wrinkles, but who don’t want injections.” says Cheralyn Lumley, Medical Director of Lumley Aesthetics in Sevenoaks. “Whilst we have a number of really good treatments to help them, the Purigenex Collagen System has proved to be a stunning success. I have not had dramatic results like this without using injectables, or at least undertaking a combination of IPL skin rejuvenation techniques with microderm, transderm or peels”.

This very simple 8-week treatment program consists of using a refrigerated ICM face mask for half an hour each week, plus two daily applications of ICS serum which only takes a moment or two.

“The results are quite remarkable. Your skin feels tighter and appears refreshed even after just one mask treatment”, says Cheralyn who discovered this system when she met Dr. Susanne Bennett, DC, founder and CEO of Purigenex in Washington earlier this year. “When I looked at Susanne’s photographic records of her and her patients, I was stunned. I ordered some systems to trial in the UK and have been thrilled with the results”.

Purigenex have developed a proprietary state-of-the-art process that produces the highest quality and purity level of collagen available anywhere. This process is what makes their products – and their team’s medical collagen media – unique.

Purigenex flagship products are collagen-based intensive skin therapies: ICS Intensive Collagen Serum and ICM Ionized Collagen Mask. These formulas are medically engineered with the world’s most highly purified atelocollagen (non-immunogenic and bio-compatible). Collagen of this quality has never before been offered in topical cosmetic preparations. ICS and ICM are FDA-registered, preservative-free formulas that are highly tolerated by even the most sensitive individuals.

The Aesthetic Show in Las Vegas was the best show ever so far for PURIGENEX. We met up with medical doctors, chiropractors and dentists all interested in aesthetic dermatology. Once again, we ran out of masks for our demonstrations. We were basically mobbed by the attendees and were very excited to share with everyone about PURIGENEX collagen.

We are now offering complimentary before and after pictures, refrigerator and promotional literature when you order 12 kits (ICM and ICS)or more. This is an awesome point of sale display for your waiting room where all your patients and clients can see what is new to your office and learn what PURIGENEX collagen is all about before you even see that individual.

Another successful show for PURIGENEX Collagen

noreply@blogger.com (purigenex.com) — Sat, 10 May 2008 22:01:00 +0000

PURIGENEX was a hit at the American Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) conference in Orlando April 25th-26th. The photo above are two doctors demoing the ICM mask. They were attending the conference to further their education in anti-aging medicine and to see all the new innovative treatments and products available to use in their clinics. Both doctors loved the PURIGENEX collagen (ICS/ICM) and purchased our product!

Below is a before and after shot of the doctor sitting to my right in the photo above.

Please note the dramatic reduction of the wrinkles under her eyes and around her crows feet. These improvements occurred after one 30 minute application of the ICM mask!

Before

After 30 minutes application of the ICM mask

We were at the conference for two days and completely ran out of our ICM masks due to such high demand from both male and female doctors who wanted try out the ICM mask. We met with many doctors from the east coast, especially from New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Virginia and Florida. Over 3000 practitioners attended the conference from various health fields including medical doctors, dentists, chiropractors, naturopaths, homeopaths, acupuncturists, nurse practitioners, as well as many people in the medispa industry.

Our PURIGENEX collagen (ICM/ICS) is getting a lot of people excited on alternative aesthetics therapy that is non-invasive and easy to use. PURIGENEX will restore and rejuvenate aged and damaged skin without injections, irritation or down time necessary for healing. It is perfect for individuals who are afraid of surgery and needles. It is the most natural way to have a non-surgical face lift!

PURIGENEX Collagen gains wide acceptance by laser medical doctors

noreply@blogger.com (purigenex.com) — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 13:49:00 +0000

PURIGENEX debut at the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery in Orlando was a huge success! We met doctors from all around the world who specialized in laser and light technology to resurface and rejuvenate skin and body. Many doctors and nurses where excited to to combine PURIGENEX bio-active collagen system with the different technologies they provided for their patients. PURIGENEX collagen is best utilized as a post laser treatment to enhance healing and regeneration of dermal tissue. Different resurfacing technologies include laser treatments including fractional, CO2, thermage, pearl etc. as well as light therapies such as IPL, LED and infrared. PURIGENEX collagen is also excellent for post microdermabrasion techniques. With any of the technologies above, adding ICM/ICS to the regimen will speed up healing and recovery, increase plumping of the skin, reduce pigmentation, tighten wrinkles and smooth out surface texture.

Please visit our website in the near future for our list of clinics, doctors, nurses, medispas and aestheticians who are carrying our products for their clients and general public.

PURIGENEX Collagen debuts at the ASLMS show this weekend!

noreply@blogger.com (purigenex.com) — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 13:37:00 +0000

PURIGENEX will debut its ICM/ICS bio-active collagen at the 28th annual conference for American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery show at the Gaylord Resort in Kissimmee, Florida. Many of our clients across the country are medispas and medical clinics that specialize in laser, IPL, microcurrent, dermabrasion etc. techniques and our collagen is a perfect adjunct to using after the treatments. There are not many formulas available to use on the skin after these treatments and due to the non-immunogenicity of PURIGENEX collagen, it is an optimal choice for activating the healing process of skin to healthier, younger looking skin. Please visit us if you are attending the show!

Erase Wrinkles Naturally

noreply@blogger.com (purigenex.com) — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 01:19:00 +0000

Regular use of PURIGENEX collagen will help erase your wrinkles naturally (click here to view my Before & After pictures). Most users will see results after 4 weekly applications of the replenishing collagen mask (ICM) and daily applicationof the ICS collagen serum. Many individuals see results after 1-2 weeks of use. Please make sure you take pictures before starting the product, after 4 weeks and after completion of the 8 week course. Please look at the testimonials on our website and the before and after pictures. We are asking everyone who are taking pictures to email us your results. We greatly appreciate it!

Here are some inquiries from doctors, health care practitioners and aestheticians:

Q: Can you use other facial products such as antioxidant serums, Vit. C creams, lipoic acid and oxygen formulas with the PURIGENEX collagen (ICM/ICS)?

A: Yes, you can apply any product after the ICM/ICS has completely dried and there is tension on you face (skin feels tight). Do not apply any type of acidic toner before applying the ICM/ICS. Use the ICM/ICS directly to clean dry skin.

Q: How soon can I apply PURIGENEX collagen to my face and chest after an IPL (Intense Pulse Light) treatment?

A: Apply the ICM mask the next day to relieve inflammation and to start the healing process. The collagen serum is to be used morning and night. 1/2 dropperful is plenty for face and neck.

Individuals have experienced less redness and itching by using the ICM/ICS soon after the IPL therapy. (please read testimonial section on IPL patient)

Q: Can we use Iontophoresis Therapy to drive the collagen deeper into the skin?

A: It is unnecessary to use iontophoresis therapy due to the fact that our succinylated collagen is already negatively ionized and will be absorbed into the dermal layer as long as it is in the refrigerated form (bio-active state).

PURIGENEX welcomes all questions regarding our unique formula and how to use the ICM/ICS bio-active collagen system!

Breakthroughs in Collagen

noreply@blogger.com (purigenex.com) — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 23:06:00 +0000

Breakthroughs in Collagen

PURIGENEX’s flagship products are collagen-based intensive skin therapies: ICS Intensive Collagen Serum and ICM Ionized Collagen Mask. These formulas are medically engineered with the world’s most highly purified atelocollagen — a truly non-immunogenic, bio-compatible element in the most active animal-source form. Collagen of this quality has never before been offered in topical cosmetic preparations. ICS and ICM are FDA-registered, preservative-free formulas that are highly tolerated by even the most sensitive individuals.

These products are indicated for all who are seeking to prevent and repair their skin from aging, sun damage,discolorations, and acne scarring. Regular, directed use will boost the skin’s own collagen integrity, to make it appear plumper, smoother, more supple, and more youthful. Additionally, skin nourished with PURIGENEX collagen is able to function more effectively as part of a healthy body’s natural defense system.
Collagen Network

Advanced Dermal Technology
PURIGENEX is an innovative body care brand founded on the principle that healthy skin leads to better health. This doctor-approved line for men and women focuses on extraordinary, unique products with therapeutic properties that help to nourish skin, release impurities, and combat aging.

PURIGENEX is committed to sourcing the finest formulations and active elemental ingredients in the world, in order to reconnect skin care to an optimal wellness regimen. Our collagen preparations represent pioneeringmolecular chemistry and the newest bio-engineered delivery systems -- truly enhanced therapies of the highest potency, affinity, and assimilation. We also offer skin purifying products made of rare compounds from the tropics of Hawaii, volcanic mountains near the Himalayas, and the herbal practices of Korea and Japan --remedies that honor the ancient botanical medicine of the East. PURIGENEX products act to rehydrate cells, balance electrolytes, soothe inflammation, and draw toxins away from the sub-dermal lymph and fatty tissue.

Atelocollagen

Collagen is nature’s most abundant protein polymer. It has a triple helical polypeptide structure with antigenic formations called “telopeptides” at each end of the molecule. Telopeptides are the major cause of immune reactions to proteins, because they are unique to each individual. Consequently, general collagen can cause an allergic response or rejection in up to 20% of treatments.

In atelocollagen, the telopeptides are removed from a Type I collagen molecule, creating a far more viable, non-immunogenic form of the protein. Furthermore, atelocollagen is much higher in density than general collagen; so, it is easily absorbed into the skin.
PURIGENEX’s atelocollagen was originally developed by distinguished researchers as a medical grade raw material for tissue regeneration. Now it has been adapted for transdermal cosmetic use, providing the most highly purified, safe, bio-compatible collagen available with rare to no side effects.

Negatively Ionized Collagen

Type I collagen is typically dissolved in an acid solution of less than pH 4.0. This creates many restrictions forcollagen used as a cosmetic material, which requireslow acidity (pH 5.5 – pH 6.5).
Our researchers have developed a proprietary methodfor overcoming collagen’s acidity and improving itssolubility factor for increased penetration into the skin.They enhanced the hydrophilic properties of Type Iatelocollagen through succinylation, deriving a negativeionization of the molecule.

Normal skin has a negative ionic charge, while thecellular membrane of aged skin develops an increasedpositive ionic charge. Improved osmosis ofPURIGENEX collagen is achieved when negativelyionized collagen creates an electrostatic interactionwith the skin. In this way, absorbed negatively ionizedcollagen penetrates deep into the dermal and basaltissue, increasing proliferation of the body’s own collagen, and helping to activate dermal cell regeneration.
As compared to PURIGENEX collagen, general collagen is not easily absorbed into the skin by topical application. This is due to its larger molecular size and lack of negative ionic charge. Most collagen cosmetics are only able to form oil membranes in the outer dermal layer of the skin, whereas our negatively ionized atelocollagen deeply assimilates into the skin.

None properties at high temperatures becauseheat loosens the triple helix structure of theprotein. This causes the amino acids incollagen to denature and break down.Most commercial collagen preparations aremanufactured at high temperatures anddistributed at room temperature, leadingthe triple helical protein to unravel.Collagen preparations of this nature arecalled “hydrolyzed collagen” or “gelatin”.Gelatin products advertised as collagen inmany cosmetic creams and lotions are justsimple proteins which may hydrate the skin;but, they lack the biologically activeproperties of true collagen.

Inactive, or resolved, collagen has beenfound to inhibit the function of surroundingcells when applied to the skin. In contact with this material, the skin cells’ ability to compound collagen is decreased. This can lead to deeper wrinkles and decreased skin elasticity. Accordingly, collagen preparations for the skin should be produced and supplied at cold temperatures. ICS and ICM are formulated with purified porcine-source atelocollagen atcold temperatures, and should be kept in refrigeration at 39-50ºF.

Therapeutic Benefits of ICS and ICM Collagen
Skin Lifting

Skin recovers elasticity after using PURIGENEX collagen.
ICM Ionized Collagen Mask penetrates cells and increases the strength and tone of loose or aged skin tissue. This mask also potentizes the skin for deeper penetration of ICS Intensive Collagen Serum.

ICS Intensive Collagen Serum nourishes and fortifies the skin and activates the body’sown collagen generation.

Prevention and Improvement of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Cell aging is delayed by collagen and hyaluronic acid. These ingredients smooth and fillfine wrinkles in the epidermis, and promote cell regeneration in the basal layer of theskin. Wrinkling of the neck and around the eyes will appear to be reduced as theimprovement to the epidermis lifts and conceals deeper creases in the dermal layer.

Pore Minimizing

Collagen and hyaluronic acid increase the hydration of the skin surface, absorb excessive sebum, and weaken the sebaceous glands. Together these compounds work to regulate sebum secretion, activate the regeneration of cells close to the broadening pore, and gradually, minimize the pore.

Diminishing of Acne Scars

Collagen promotes tissue regeneration in areas of the skin affected by scarring and acne. One of collagen’s functions is to create a matrix that holds the dermal cells intact and helps them migrate up to the surface layer of the skin. When new cells move upward, deep pockets in the skin tissue are filled, and the appearance of depressed scars is diminished. Collagen will also help to augment the integrity of the dermal cells by combining with the connective tissue in the skin to improve elasticity and organization. The movement and processes of healthy new skin cells are possible through this collagen reaction.

In addition, hyaluronic acid suppresses the dark pigmentation and discoloration caused by acne, laser treatment, and the interaction of oxygen free radicals with ultraviolet rays.

PURIGENEX Collagen ICS and ICM – FAQ
What is Collagen?

Collagen is nature’s most abundant protein polymer. It is made up of three polypeptide strands, creating a left handed triple helical structure. More than a third of the human body’s protein is collagen. Collagen makes up 75% of our skin.

Why is animal collagen different from plant collagen?

Collagens can be classified as being of animal or plant origin. Animal collagen is extracted from bovine and porcine bone or skin. Plant collagen is made by modifying polysaccharides (natto gum) through fermentation of yeast. Plant collagens used in cosmetics are heated and denatured simple proteins in the form of gelatins, which may exist at room temperature. They are biologically inactive. True active collagen must retain its molecular integrity at cold temperatures to be able to impact cell function. Refrigerated animal source collagen is the most viable therapeutic collagen with all of its properties intact. This makes it a superior product to plant collagen. PURIGENEX products always use safe porcine-animal source collagen, to ensure superior bioactivity.

What is the difference between atelocollagen and collagen?

In a Type I collagen molecule, there are antigenic formations called “telopeptides” at each end of the protein. A telopeptide extremity in a collagen molecule consists of about 12-27 amino acids. The peptide sequence in a telopeptide is unique to each individual; and, complete removal of the peptide is necessary to avoid an immune reaction. Atelocollagen is a telopeptide-free collagen that is non-immunogenic. An atelocollagen molecule has a complete triple helical alpha-chain structure consisting of about 1010 amino acids.

Why should collagen be stored at a low temperature?

Collagen is easily denatured at high to room temperatures because the triple helical structure of the collagen protein reacts to heat and degenerates. This produces inactive gelatin. Refrigerating collagen at a low temperature assures the biological activity of the product, prevents resolution (denaturing), and protects the stability of our formulas.

Can I use collagen products if they are past their expiration date?

Some researchers have found that expired collagen does not interfere with their specific experiments, or with the efficacy of a commercial collagen product. However, expired products may not perform as described, and we do not encourage you to use them.
Is this product sterile?

PURIGENEX products are supplied in sterile sealed bottles and vials. Once the seal on the bottle or vial is opened, it is no longer sterile and must be used in a timely fashion. Refrigeration will help inhibit any microbial growth.

Can I use UV light to sterilize the collagen formulas?

These products should not be exposed to UV light, heat, or ionizing radiation. Exposure to these conditions will modify the collagen, causing irreversible degeneration.
Can I freeze PURIGENEX collagen products?

Freezing is not recommended for these products as it may damage the collagen.
Do you sell Type II, III, IV, or other collagen products?

PURIGENEX products are only made with Type I atelocollagen. Our researchers do not routinely manufacture or develop other types of collagen.
How is the PURIGENEX collagen made?

Our researchers have developed a proprietary state-of-the-art process that produces the highest quality and purity level of collagen available anywhere. Because this process is what makes our products – and our team’s medical collagen media – unique, the detailed manufacturing is confidential. However, if you have an interest, the general methods for making and isolating collagen can found in the literature.
