Eggshell membrane collagen is a clinically proven ingredient that can fight the main signs of aging. The eggshell membrane is a rich source of collagen types I, V, and X, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, elastin, and dermatan sulfate.

Health benefits of the eggshell membrane collagen include smoothing out wrinkles & fine lines, improving skin elasticity and firmness, fighting skin dryness, and attenuating dark spots.

Acerola cherry extract is derived from the fruit of the West Indies or Barbados cherry variety which grows from a small tree or shrub. The ripe fruit is bright red, contains several small seeds, and is about 80 percent juice.

Full of antioxidants and up to 25% of vitamin C, acerola cherry extract eliminates free radicals and boosts collagen production for younger-looking skin that retains firmness and elasticity. It can also enhance capillary strength, and it protects and repairs skin. Acerola cherry extract hydrates, moisturizes and brightens skin by eliminating hyperpigmentation for an even skin tone.

Vitamin C is essential for collagen biosynthesis as it is a prolyl and lysyl hydroxylase cofactor, key enzymes that cross-link and stabilize collagen fibers. Moreover, vitamin C synthesizes collagen production so the body can turn on its gene expression (i.e., make more collagen).

Bamboo leaf has the highest amounts of silica in nature. We use bamboo leaf extract standardized to 70% of silica. 

Silica is the body's third most abundant trace mineral after iron and zinc. Silica creates bonds between collagen molecules which helps the skin retain water: which is crucial for cell repair and renewal.

Silica also stimulates fibroblasts, which secrete collagen type I – the type of collagen found in abundance in youthful skin. Consuming collagen and silica, which support collagen synthesis, naturally boosts healthy and glowing skin.

In youth, the body naturally produces higher levels of collagen and absorbs more silica from food, reflected in wrinkle-free skin. But as we age (from as early as our mid-twenties!), both collagen and its biggest supporter, silica, rapidly decline, which can reduce skin elasticity, strength, and elasticity. 

Take a deep dive.

Ceramide is a naturally occurring fat that makes up over 50% of the skin and provides water retention and healthy function of the epidermal layers. As we age, the skin loses ceramides leading to dryness, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. Up to 50% can be lost between 20 and 70. 

When taken orally, ceramide helps restore the skin's ceramide content. It is the ultimate moisturizer, giving the skin a smooth and youthful appearance, replenishing wrinkles, and giving it a healthy glow.

We at OneChoice use natural ceramide extracted from wheat with a unique extraction process, concentrating the ceramide lipidic portion of the wheat kernels and removing gluten. Ceramide is a perfectly adapted solution for modern consumers looking for new ways to address anti-aging with demonstrated efficacy and quick action.*

Although it sounds similar to the mango, the mangosteen is unrelated. The size of a small apple, the mangosteen is covered in a purple, leathery rind that protects the sweet, white fruit inside. When discovered in Southeast Asia by 19th-century European colonists, the mangosteen won its title of "The Queen Of Fruits" from Queen Victoria. Rumor has it that the Queen heard about this precious fruit, a delicious mix of "lychee, peach, strawberry, and pineapple flavors," and declared that she would grant a knighthood to anyone who brought her one.

The mangosteen is traditionally used for many skin conditions, including eczema. The all-important xanthones protect the skin in multiple ways with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. By capturing free radical compounds, they prevent environmental damage to the skin, while anti-inflammatory benefits further protect skin cells from destruction and help diminish the visible signs of aging. Besides using xanthones to defend the skin, the fruit also promotes microcirculation which improves the appearance of skin vitality and radiance.
