Inside the Gelagen process: how two gummies support skin, hair and nails

Beauty is a renewal process

Your outer skin layer replaces itself roughly every four weeks, a little slower with age. Fingernails grow around 3 mm a month and hair around 1 cm. All of that new tissue is built from protein, fats, vitamins and minerals delivered by your blood. When any of those run short, skin, hair and nails are often among the first places it shows.

Note: our how-it-works artwork uses the words collagen and hydration to describe results. Gelagen itself does not contain collagen or hyaluronic acid; it supports your body's own production.

Step 1: collagen building blocks

Collagen is the protein that gives skin its firmness. Your body cannot build it without vitamin C, which activates the enzymes that stabilise collagen fibres. Zinc and vitamin B6 support the wider protein metabolism around it. The Linus Pauling Institute summarises this research well.

Step 2: keratin for hair and nails

Hair and nails are made of keratin. Biotin is a helper for enzymes involved in making the fatty acids and amino acids that keratin-producing cells use. Deficiency is rare but causes brittle nails and thinning hair, which is why biotin became the classic beauty vitamin. Pantothenic acid (B5) and B12 support the energy those fast-dividing cells need.

Step 3: skin renewal and barrier

Vitamin A helps skin cells mature and shed normally, the same pathway targeted by retinoid skincare. Vitamin B5 is needed to make coenzyme A, which the skin uses to build the ceramides and fats that hold moisture in. Folate supports normal cell division in fast-renewing tissue.

Step 4: antioxidant protection

Sunlight and pollution create free radicals that wear down collagen. Vitamin C protects the watery parts of cells and vitamin E the fatty membranes, and each helps recycle the other. This supports, but never replaces, sunscreen.

What to expect, month by month

Because the guarantee is 60 days and hair takes longer, decide on nails and skin first, and use the refund if you see nothing by then.

Habits that multiply the effect

• Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen, SPF 30 or higher.
• Enough protein at each meal; hair and nails are made of it.
• Sleep of seven hours or more, when skin does much of its repair.
• Gentle hair care: less heat, fewer tight styles.
