You've tried creams, serums, perhaps even marine collagen powders. And the results still fall short of your expectations? It's not a matter of belief - it's a matter of molecules. Discover why Reggenerate™ fundamentally changes the beauty-from-within equation.
Understanding why skin ages: the role of collagen
Skin firmness and elasticity rely on a network of structural proteins: primarily collagen (types I, III, V, X) and elastin. Collagen accounts for approximately 75% of the dermis's dry matter and truly forms the framework of your skin.
From your twenties onward, collagen production begins to decline by approximately 1% per year. From age 40, this decline accelerates, especially after menopause. The result: skin becomes thinner, loses its bounce, expression lines deepen, and dry skin sets in.
Hence the enthusiasm for collagen-based supplements. But one essential question arises: does ingested collagen really reach its destination in the skin?
The problem with classic marine collagen
Hydrolyzed marine collagen has dominated the market for years. Its principle: breaking collagen molecules down into smaller peptides to facilitate intestinal absorption. In theory, this makes sense. In practice, several significant limitations exist:
- Limited bioavailability: The PDCAAS (protein quality measurement) of classic hydrolyzed collagen ranges from 0.3 to 0.5 - meaning actual absorption is fairly modest.
- High doses required: Studies using marine collagen generally use doses of 5 to 10 grams per day - difficult to package in capsules.
- Denatured collagen: Hydrolysis destroys the native three-dimensional structure of collagen, reducing its ability to integrate into target tissues.
- Animal origin (not vegetarian): Marine collagen comes from fish skin and bones, excluding people following vegetarian diets.
Reggenerate™: the alternative that surpasses the benchmark
Reggenerate™ is a patented extract derived from eggshell membrane - the thin membrane located between the shell and the egg white. This natural material naturally contains:
- Collagen types I, V, and X in their native, non-denatured structure
- Native elastin
- Naturally occurring hyaluronic acid
- Structural fibrous proteins (fibronectin, osteopontin)
What makes Reggenerate™ truly unique:
- Exceptional bioavailability: With an NPU of approximately 85% and a PDCAAS of 0.73 to 0.75, it far surpasses classic hydrolyzed collagens.
- Micro-active doses: 300 mg of Reggenerate™ delivers better results than 8 g of hydrolyzed marine collagen, according to a 2026 double-blind study.
- Preserved native structure: The molecules retain their three-dimensional conformation, optimizing their recognition and use by skin tissues.
- Vegetarian origin: Eggshell membrane is a by-product of the agri-food industry, making it suitable for ovo-vegetarian diets.
Clinical results after 60 days (double-blind): +51% skin firmness, +25% elasticity, -19% transepidermal water loss.
How to choose the right beauty supplement for your skin
Faced with the abundance of “anti-aging” products on the market, here are the criteria that really make a difference:
- Type of collagen: Choose patented extracts supported by published clinical studies. Beware of simple “marine collagen” claims without a specified concentration or precise dosage.
- Nutritional synergies: Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis (it hydroxylates proline and lysine residues). Zinc and selenium help maintain normal skin and protect against oxidative stress.
- Essential fatty acids: Borage oil (rich in GLA, gamma-linolenic acid) nourishes the membrane of skin cells from within.
- Duration of the course: Skin cell renewal takes place over 28 to 60 days. An effective course lasts at least 3 months for visible, lasting results.
- Natural content: Choose highly natural formulas, free from artificial colors and preservatives, made in France in certified laboratories.
The Epycure solution: the Plumped Skin Course
Epycure's Plumped Skin Course is built around Reggenerate™ (300 mg) - the exact dose used in clinical studies. The complete formula includes:
- Reggenerate™ (300 mg): native collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid
- Vitamin C: contributes to normal collagen formation to support normal skin function
- Zinc: contributes to the maintenance of normal skin
- Selenium + Vitamin E: help protect cells against oxidative stress
- Borage oil: a source of essential fatty acids for skin suppleness
Lab'Epycure tested it on 32 volunteers over 3 months: 97% found the course effective, 97% had more hydrated skin, and 78% had less pronounced wrinkles. Natural content: 95.1%.
Dosage: 2 capsules per day in the morning, from age 12 onward. Recommended course: 3 months.

Conclusion
The collagen revolution isn't about higher doses - it's about a better molecular form. Reggenerate™ perfectly illustrates this principle: less quantity, greater effectiveness, a responsible source, and solid clinical results. For firmer, more elastic, and better-hydrated skin, it's an ingredient worth looking into.
