Not a topical replacement.
RenuYou is taken internally. It complements, rather than replaces, the topical shelf — sunscreen, moisturisers, retinoids. Both layers contribute different effects.
The composition works on three mechanisms with reasonable evidence behind them. Each is described, in turn, below.
Collagen is a protein. To produce more of it, the body needs amino acid building blocks — particularly glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. Hydrolysed collagen peptides are broken down to small fragments that survive digestion and are absorbed as amino acids and small di- and tri-peptides, biased toward what collagen tissues specifically need.
The trial evidence shows measurable improvements in skin elasticity, hydration, and joint comfort over 8–12 week courses at 2–10g/day doses. The studio chose the lower end of the range — 2g/day — because the marginal benefit of higher levels is small and the composition is more compatible with the daily-capsule ritual.
Proksch et al., 2014 — Double-blind trial of 2.5g/day collagen peptides in women 35–55 over 8 weeks. Significant improvements in skin elasticity compared to placebo.
Vitamin C is required as a cofactor for stabilising collagen into its functional triple-helix form. Without adequate vitamin C, the body cannot effectively incorporate amino acids into collagen — the building blocks pile up unused. This is why scurvy (severe vitamin C deficiency) historically presented as a collagen-disorder syndrome.
Zinc supports tissue repair and skin barrier function broadly. Both are included at adequacy-supporting doses to ensure the collagen peptides have what they need to actually be incorporated into new tissue.
Hyaluronic acid binds water in tissues — particularly in skin and joints. Oral HA at 80–200mg/day has trial evidence for skin hydration and joint comfort over 8–12 week courses, with the effect mediated through tissue HA accumulation.
The combined formula addresses the full supply chain: building blocks (collagen), cofactors (vitamin C, zinc), keratin support (biotin), and tissue hydration (hyaluronic acid). Each ingredient supports a different layer.
RenuYou is taken internally. It complements, rather than replaces, the topical shelf — sunscreen, moisturisers, retinoids. Both layers contribute different effects.
Collagen and tissue effects accumulate over 8–12 weeks. Two-week tasting is not the ritual.
Collagen is by definition an animal-derived protein. There is no plant-based equivalent that delivers the same hydroxyproline content.
RenuYou supports the skin and connective tissue's regenerative capacity. It is not a treatment for clinical skin conditions, joint disease, or any specific medical issue. Speak with your physician about specific concerns.
