Collagen matters. But beauty does not start with collagen alone.

Skin, hair and nails are influenced by what is happening underneath: hydration, gut health, nutrition, cellular energy and the raw materials available to the body.

That is the thinking behind the 360° Beauty Protocol.

It combines Life Support with Express Collagen to create a daily routine built around gut support, hydration, micronutrition, NAD+ metabolism and 1,750 mg of tri-peptide marine collagen.

Start With the Gut

Research increasingly points to a connection between the gut microbiome and skin through what is known as the gut-skin axis.

Reviews have explored links between intestinal microbes, inflammatory signalling, barrier function and skin health. (PubMed)

Life Support includes gut-focused ingredients such as inulin, tributyrin, gum acacia, slippery elm, ginger and bromelain.

The idea is simple:

Support the system underneath the skin, not just the skin itself.

Hydration Matters Too

Dry, tired-looking skin is not purely a collagen issue.

Hydration plays a role too.

Life Support provides electrolytes including potassium, magnesium, sodium and calcium, and the protocol is designed to be mixed with around 500 ml of water.

Research in healthy women has also found that increasing water intake can improve measures of skin hydration, particularly in people with lower habitual water intake. (PubMed)

Collagen research also overlaps with hydration. A placebo-controlled trial found oral collagen peptides improved skin water content and reduced transepidermal water loss. (PubMed)

So hydration and collagen should not be viewed as separate strategies.

They work as part of the same bigger picture.

Then Look at Cellular Energy

Life Support also contains 200 mg nicotinamide riboside, or NR, plus 100 mg CoQ10.

NR is a precursor the body can use to produce NAD+, a molecule involved in energy metabolism and cellular function.

Human studies have shown that oral NR can increase NAD+ availability.

One randomized trial found NR increased NAD+ metabolism in healthy middle-aged and older adults. (PubMed)

Another dose-response study found whole-blood NAD+ increased significantly following NR supplementation. (PubMed)

This does not mean NAD+ is a magic anti-ageing switch.

It does mean that cellular energy and NAD+ metabolism belong in a serious beauty-from-within conversation.

Build the Foundation First

Life Support provides the broader wellness base with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, electrolytes, omega-3, CoQ10, fruit extracts, greens and adaptogens.

Then Express Collagen adds the targeted beauty layer.

Together, the protocol provides:

750 mg tri-peptide collagen from Life Support
1,000 mg tri-peptide collagen from Express Collagen

For a combined:

1,750 MG TRI-PEPTIDE COLLAGEN

Clinical research has investigated collagen tripeptides at 1,000 mg daily, with improvements reported in skin hydration, elasticity and wrinkles. (PubMed)

Another randomized trial using low molecular weight collagen peptides also reported improvements in hydration and wrinkles. (PubMed)

A 2023 meta-analysis of 26 randomized controlled trials involving 1,721 participants found oral collagen supplementation was associated with improvements in skin hydration and elasticity. (PubMed)

The important point is not that 1,750 mg is a scientifically established maximum dose. It is not.

The point is that the 360° Beauty Protocol takes the collagen amount beyond the levels used in some published trials while also supporting the wider systems that influence how you look and feel.
