The key ingredient used in most cosmetic collagen boosters (TGF-β and its artificial alternatives) increases the amount of collagen your skin produces, but it can also inadvertently send this collagen production out of control. When it uncontrolled, newly produced collagen low in quality. Which is why so many collagen boosters don’t give you the results you expect.

TGF-β works by stimulating cells in the skin called fibroblasts to produce more collagen. But it also activates the body’s immune cells, which release something called leukotrienes. Leukotrienes send the fibroblasts into overdrive, causing them to produce even more collagen. But because there is not enough elastin (the stuff that gives your skin it’s elasticity) being produced to keep up with the large amounts of new collagen, the new skin structure is weak and inelastic. Which means you won’t see any noticeable, long-term results.

Unlike other collagen boosters that cause uncontrolled collagen production by triggering the release of leukotrienes, Hunzagen Collagen helps your body control the rate of new collagen production. Our breakthrough, plant-based formula stimulates the fibroblasts to produce more collagen – but also switches off leukotriene synthesis. Which means collagen production increased without interfering with the skin’s natural inflammatory response. This ensures the new collagen is strong, healthy, and integrated into your skin’s existing collagen network in just the right amounts to to guarantee long term, visible results. That’s smart collagen management.
