Double Pronged Approach
To Age Management
Totally Derma® is a daily ingestible drink supplement for a double pronged approach to age management. Internal and topical. It works from the inside to stimulate the body’s optimum production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, addressing both the aesthetic (physical) signs of ageing and the underlying physiological processes.
Key nutrients at work
Arthred®, Synovoderma®, Vitamin C, Grape Seed Extract, Green Tea Extract, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Zinc, Copper, Manganese
Our skin is a visible reflection of what is going on inside our body. Eczema, dry skin, acne and rosacea can be linked to gut health as their root cause. A great diet and proper hydration is key to healthy skin.
A compromised digestive system won’t allow this to happen and we won’t receive the essential nutrients for our physiological and aesthetic processes to function properly.
Why is collagen important for the skin?
Enzymatically hydrolysed collagen amino acid peptides help the skin regain elasticity and firmness and soften the fine lines and wrinkles. Moreover, collagen plays a huge role in stimulating gut health, both directly by providing the gut lining with the necessary amino acid peptides for repair, and indirectly by regulating the stress and sex hormones that affect gut functioning. The balance in the gut microbiome is essential for radiant, young, and blemish-free skin.
Immunity and gut health
Crucial as we battle COVID-19. Boost immunity by cutting out sugar and limit alcohol; eat a diet rich in vegetables, good fats and fibre.
If gut health deteriorates, this leads to Leaky Gut. If left unchecked, can cause autoimmune responses.
L-Glutamine is an amino acid which can repair and reverse the damaging affects of Leaky Gut Syndrome (when intestinal barriers no longer have tight junctions, holes form in the lining, causing toxins to leak into the blood stream).
Consuming Totally Derma® helps form connective tissue and “heals and seals” the protective lining of the gastrointestinal tract.
How does gut health affect skin?
Many studies support the existence of an intimate and bidirectional relationship between the gut and the skin. While certain gut bacteria encourage the anti-inflammatory response in the body, others facilitate inflammatory cell growth, which reflects onto the skin, causing acne and other skin conditions. The gut microbiome can also be affected by the emotional and nervous states. For example, feelings of worry, panic, stress, and anxiety are linked to adverse changes in the gut microflora that impact the skin negatively. The gut plays a very significant role in the metabolism of hormones and hormones have proven to greatly impact the health of the skin. There is more and more research, indicating that estrogen, the hormone that is said to be the key hormonal trigger when it comes to skin health may be affected by the gut microbiota.

Totally Derma® collagen and HA feedback mechanism
Collagen & HA work together and positively stimulate each other in a positive feedback mechanism. The more collagen you have, the more HA you produce, the more HA you produce the more collagen you have etc.
In other words, HA also stimulates fibroblast proliferation within the collagen matrix. Therefore, HA stimulates collagen growth as well as directly consuming hydrolysed collagen. Totally Derma® contains therapeutic dosage 210mg Synovoderma Hyaluronic Acid.
Therefore, Competitor product only does half the job that Totally Derma® does regarding stimulating collagen.

Totally Derma® collagen formula is a nutraceutical age management drink supplement designed to reduce inflammation and support joint function.
Joint problems – one of the leading risks of disability
Early protection of cartilage is important to ensure its health over time. Everyone is at risk of decreasing joint health because of the natural ageing process, environmental influence and congenital or inherited factors.
As we age, collagen production slows causing poor joint health and arthritis. Nutritional inadequacy, exposure to toxins and stresses of modern life also cause collagen to break down, resulting in skin wrinkles and sags, thinning of the hair, decreased joint flexibility and reduced vibrancy and strength of the skin and nails.
Athletes are more commonly at risk of knee and joint injuries due to the sustained impact and over-use of the joints from strenuous exercise.
Cartilage should be stimulated to regenerate itself as much as possible.
Arthred® – the science bit
The hero ingredient contained in Totally Derma® Collagen Drink supplement – Arthred® is a patented, low molecular weight, pharmaceutical grade hydrolysed collagen product.
It is a pre-digested powder that is easily absorbed via the small intestine to the blood supply, not requiring digestive enzymes to break it down.
Obtained from a bovine source, it is made through a proprietary process that breaks down the collagen into very small pieces:
3 kilodaltons (kDa) for Arthred® vs. 70 kDa for regular sports drinks. This makes Arthred® extremely digestible and is well tolerated.
The powder supplement works in two ways
Inside the body, increased collagen and hyaluronic acid production means that stiff joints will become more flexible and comfortable, making this a great supplement for general health and fitness minded men and women.

We lose 50% of our hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin fibres during the first 5 years of menopause. This can have a detrimental effect on atrophy and laxity of the skin and mucous membranes. It may also cause painful and stiff joints. Hormonal imbalances also can result in vagina dryness and dyspareunia (difficult or painful sexual intercourse).
Drinking therapeutic amounts of tiny molecular weight patented collagen, with added hyaluronic acid and critical antioxidant co-factors can drastically improve menopausal symptoms. This has huge implications for improved sexual health and well-being.
A random, double-blind, placebo-controlled antioxidant Grape seed extract clinic study was conducted in 2014, involving 96 women aged 40 to 60. All were taking 100-200mg* grape seed extract per day. In all cases, they all experienced signification improvements in hot flushes, anxiety, depression, insomnia high blood pressure, decreased muscle mass
* Totally Derma® contains 160mg. grape seed extract, therefore it is a crucial antioxidant to include for menopause.
Insomnia is another unpleasant side-effect of the menopause. Totally Derma® contains 3 crucial amino acids to promote better sleep:
Glycine, Glutamine, Arginine.
What is GSM?
The Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) is a term that is used to describe the various menopausal symptoms that transpire due to physical changes in the vulva, vagina, and lower urinary tract. GSM includes genital symptoms, such as vaginal dryness, burning, and irritation; sexual symptoms, such as lack of lubrication, discomfort, or pain during or after sex; as well as urinary symptoms, including stress and urge incontinence, and recurrent urinary tract infections. It is estimated to affect more than 70% of women worldwide, but it is rarely talked about and many women do not seek treatment. GSM symptoms can have a profound negative impact on quality of life and affect relationships. For instance, urinary symptoms such as stress urinary incontinence and urge incontinence result in many women relying on expensive absorbent underwear or limiting their outings from home in case they have an accident. Vaginal symptoms such as dryness, irritation, and painful sex can affect relationships, with many women having to abstain from having sex or experiencing discomfort and pain during or after sex. In addition to distressing GSM symptoms, women around the age of menopause are also confronted with declining collagen production, which leads to poor skin, hair, and nails health, as well as joint pain.
